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.

Is this only on piefed.social or on all instances? I couldn’t see it in the changelog for 1.6.15.

It is not part of a formal release yet but any instance on the 1.6.x branch can git pull to get the latest code and it'll be in there.

Very cool :3

but on mobile, for people who have subcribed to lot communities, they will have to scroll down a little. I think it can sit next to local/all community button :)

Let's wait a day or two, until the novelty wears off, then see if it still deserves a more prominent place.

Okay, and then, once settled, i will create a nice link for the weekly post on fediverse.

I dunno, but it would be great if we could turn it into an instance agnostic link. I will use threadiverse link. :)
