How can you block subreddits from r/all? Explained

The front page of Reddit such as r/all features content that is upvoted in the default subreddits. Default subreddits are defaults based on the number of subscribers they have. They are usually general topic subreddits like r/funny, or r/technology. But not all default subreddits are of equal interest which is why you might want to hide subreddits from r/all. In this article, we are going to show you how you can block subreddits from r/all.

There are actually two ways to hide subreddits from r/all; the easy and freeway. And the easy but costs money way.

The freeway to block subreddits from r/all is to use an extension called Reddit Enhancement Suite. It is an exceptionally popular Reddit extension. That we have also featured in our list of best extensions for Reddit. It can, between other things, hide any subreddit of your choice from r/all.

Download the Reddit Enhancement Suite, and go to its options. The options are rather extensive. From the column on the left, select Subreddits. Under this section, select the FilteReddit option. On this panel, scroll down to the subreddit section and click +add filter. In order to enter the name of the subreddits that you want to filter out i.e, block from r/all.

Additionally, if you are trying to avoid Reddit posts about a certain topic. But do not necessarily want to block out a whole subreddit in order to avoid said news. You can use filter words to make sure the posts do not show up on r/all. When they are inevitably upvoted to the top. This is an unfortunate problem with Reddit. A major world event sprouts multiple posts on the exact same topic in multiple subreddits. They almost all get voted to the top so that the front page is more or less about the same thing.

Reddit Enhancement Suite is available for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer. So if you Reddit from your desktop web browser, you are then probably covered.

If you use a third-party application to Reddit. Then check to see if it has filtering options. Actually most Reddit applications usually do. Reddit Enhancement Suite is not the only extension that has this feature. So if you are looking for something less extensive. Then you will be able to find one pretty easily.

The second option, as mentioned earlier costs money and that is to buy Reddit Gold. The premium Reddit option has additional features one of which lets you block subreddits from r/all.

For mobile users, an extension or add-on is not going to be an option. But that does not mean you have to buy Reddit gold, or make an exceptionally witty or well-timed comment that someone will reward with gold. There is no shortage of third-party Reddit applications for either iOS or Android that can fill the gap. They are usually free or cost $5 or less.
