Tthe sea of most upvoted content in r/all always come from the same handful of subs anyway. I don't miss that one bit at all, but I do worry about my Google results showing empty Reddit links when I'm looking for reviews and answers about some niche products. Reddit is seriously the only place I trust in finding genuine reviews.
Man I don't know, I loved my homepage. Just so much shared passion for my hobbies and everyone was so positive and happy.
I might just have to stay on Reddit, the equivalent communitues are absolutely dead here.
Fully agree with r/popular though
But you also can't just scroll endlessly through unknown stuff. There are thousands of rich, but extremely niche subs. There's one for cultivating worms!
On Reddit, you could just scroll through /all and get bombarded with stuff you would never even think about looking for. That's (at least currently) not possible here.
You kind of can, sort by all, then top day or top week. It won't be LITERALLY everything but it's something.
Are you joking? It's always asklemmy, memes, announcements, programmerhumour, and maybe one or two others for me.
Edit: just checked again, it's:

Eh, whenever I looked at /popular or /all it seemed to be full of angry things like r/mildlyinfuriating or r/trashy and other stuff like politics which was just angry divisive stuff. I like the more chill and tech-focused things here.
