View submission: Introducing r/popular

This helps new communities because now r/popular is the default for logged out users, so subs that make it to r/popular based on votes, get much more traffic. r/all is not a default landing page for any logged out users, but rather, is navigated to deliberately by people who know about it and use it.

Large communities can outvote small or new ones by massive margins. It would be better to filter out large communities to avoid the popularity loop.
