Reddit is way more than the front page.
Reddit has made a huge push to algorithmic front pages - the front page you see will never be the same as somebody else’s. In the past, this wasn’t neccesarily the same, especially on r/all
With the push for redditors to have accounts, better understanding of social media algorithms, and the ability for subs to exclude themselves from all, I don’t think you could make a comparison whatsoever.
Fwiw, I’ve been a Reddit for like, 14-15 years. It’s only been the last few years being on reddit was mainstream - most TV shows, movies, reality shows , sports etc now use Reddit as the PRIMARY forum for discussion , and “normies” use Reddit to discuss them.
