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.

Voyager has had this feature for a long time

It does? How do you use it?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 22 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Used to? Does reddit not have it any more?

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.

Thats cool as fuck! It'll be nice when my client supports it ☺️

[–] Blaze@piefed.zip 1 points 53 minutes ago

Looks promising indeed!

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Should these be /c instead of /r in the links?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 18 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Why not just /random, then?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 5 points 7 hours ago

Yes might as well do that too.

Works for me on android, firefox.
Very cool, i like this a lot

[–] rimu@piefed.social 5 points 9 hours ago

Nice to hear :)

FYI I've added 'Random community' to the Communities menu, right at the end.

[–] YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Cool, but how do I subscribe? Or can I?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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 points 9 hours ago

Thanks! I'll be looking forward to that.
