Ah nice. I was thinking you could do it too without the API by making a post to discover the highest letter, then delete that post and make the next letter post right away. Nice trick though, the API is a good way to do it because /all doesn't show every single post on the site but I'm guessing the API does

    /all + /notall = everything

    I like it.

    Reminds me of that joke. "These two books contain the sum of all human knowledge" https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/f7/47/cdf7470a6ad1ed885f9338fa8a14d6a7.jpg

      Doesn't work, it doesn't recognize /r/notall by itself

        Interesting... I think it may have something to do with the fact /r/all is not actually a sub, but a function mapped to a sub name. There is no mod of /all, there is no /all sub sidebar, etc. I think notall is also not a sub, but a function mapped to a URL.

        The API can probably handle combining these in the URL but the site can't, or something like that. Some handler function is different between the two.

        So I think that's why it probably works in the API but not the site itself
