I *really* liked the /r/Random feature, do any alternatives have a similar way to find new communities?

I have literally had it as my homepage for well over a decade. I have tried searching a few times but never found a better way to consistently see new communities and perspectives which I would never have found on my own. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a dev and have been playing around with the Reddit API. It would be really easy to create a website/app that would surface random Reddit posts, if that's what you're looking for? If it doesn't already exist, I like the idea and it would be a fun project.

It did exist, but Reddit claimed it was too expensive and got rid of it, someone else linked a site with a button which takes you to a random one, but there is no longer a URL that automatically re-directs to a random reddit.

There used to be lots of subreddits like this, but the ones I know of were shut down after the bot-ban. ( r/mistyfront r/Serendipity probably more..)

Redditrand.com is good!

Not quite perfect, but definitely the best option so far!

Not sure if StumbleUpon is still a thing but that’s the OG /r/random lol

That was literally my homepage before I discovered r/Random, but I couldn't remember what it was called. Apparently it's called mix now and seems like Tiktok but with scrappers for several other websites as opposed to hosting it's own content...
