You'll get taken to a random community. Once you arrive there's a link at the top of the page to /r/random so you can just hammer away at that until you get somewhere that's the right combo of random and interesting.
There is also /r/randnsfw that takes you to a random nsfw communty if your instance has them.

Used to? Does reddit not have it any more?

Not any more - https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/1fojw02/cleaning_up_some_lowusage_features/

I loved those. randnsfw was great as well, you never knew if you'd find happiness or go to be disturbed.

I think that’s about when most of us left. So that tracks.

Voyager has had this feature for a long time

It does? How do you use it?
claimsou@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 156d
Go on Search and select „random community“

TIL

Thanks. It seems to land on the same few comms for me. Do you get a new comm every time?
claimsou@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 156d
Well for me it does not even work today. I get no result.

meanwhile reddit removes r/all - crazy timeline
jwelch55@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 156d
Should these be /c instead of /r in the links?
rimu@piefed.social · 19 pts · 156d
I opted for /r/ because there might be a community called 'random' one day.
The link https://piefed.social/r/random was a bit broken until just now, try again.

Why not just /random, then?
rimu@piefed.social · 10 pts · 156d
Yes might as well do that too.

Works for me on android, firefox.
Very cool, i like this a lot
rimu@piefed.social · 6 pts · 156d
Nice to hear :)
FYI I've added 'Random community' to the Communities menu, right at the end.
Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip · 8 pts · 156d
Thats cool as fuck! It'll be nice when my client supports it ☺️
Blaze@piefed.zip · 3 pts · 156d
Looks promising indeed!
morrowind@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 156d
Oh sweet. Might try it again.
I've yet to even get the lemmy frontend successfully running for development. Maybe piefed will be easier

Cool, but how do I subscribe? Or can I?
otter@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 156d
It will redirect you to a random community, so it wouldn't make much sense to subscribe to it. The apps will likely add a button or menu somewhere for you to use it
YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip · 4 pts · 156d
Thanks! I'll be looking forward to that.
