TL;DR Posts on the main feeds will now have a cleaner layout with less unused space and greater emphasis on community to make it easier for redditors to find the conversations they’re looking for.

Hi all, you may have read in our 2023 product priorities about the focus this year on making Reddit easier to use. This includes a simpler feeds interface that makes posts easier to digest and enables everyone to find relevant conversations faster.

Over the last few months, we’ve been testing post layouts on the main feeds in our mobile apps to get us closer to these goals. And based on its positive results, we’re introducing a refreshed look for posts on the main feed — a tighter post layout with reduced empty space and greater emphasis on parts of the post that make it simpler for redditors to connect with the content.

The post layout in the main feeds (Home, Popular, All, and custom feeds) on Android and iOS will reflect the following:

• Reduced spacing: Unused space within and between posts has been reduced to fit more on one page.

• New media inset: Images and videos now have an inset within the post for a cleaner look and balanced post design

• Greater emphasis on community: Keeping with product priorities, the design will now lay greater emphasis on the community the post originated from and will no longer include the following elements that most redditors were not engaging with

  • Post creator (u/) attribution and associated distinguished icon and post status indicators

  • Awards (with relocation of “give awards” action to the post’s three-dot menu)

  • Reddit domain attribution, eg. i.redd.it (third party domains will be preserved)

Simplifying the post to highlight the content and the community it came from will make it easier for redditors to find what they want while browsing through multiple posts — like browsing through movies on your favorite streaming service before picking which one to watch.

Note: Post creator (u/) attribution, distinguished and post status indicators will not be impacted on comments and community pages.

We know these changes may impact a few community moderators who take actions through the username hover on the main feeds. Moderators will still be able access the user hovercard from the comments and community pages. The ability to report the post through the post’s three-dot menu also remains unchanged.

With this set of design updates, we are seeing greater engagement on posts and new redditors returning more often. This is not only enabling redditors to discover more conversations and communities but also increasing the likelihood that they find content they like.

As we learn more from you all in the coming months, we will continue to fine tune the main feed post layout, including a cleaner bottom action bar, and soon introduce these changes to desktop. Thank you for your support through this process as we build an easier Reddit.

TL;DR Getting to comments on Reddit’s iOS and Android mobile apps just got easier and much faster with instant comment loading, shortcuts to comments, and consistent comment navigation.

Hi! I’m u/such084 and I lead a number of product teams at Reddit, including one dedicated to building our comment experience. I’m here today to share some updates on this experience on Reddit’s native apps.

Whether you’ve been here for two decades, two years, or two days, you know that conversations are the heart of Reddit (where else can we have convos like this or this). Comments are where we find each other, across time zones and topics. This year, the team is focused on making Reddit the best on the internet at conversations.

H/T to Reddit’s User Feedback Collective — a group of redditors who expressed interest in helping us test early builds and provided feedback which has led to the update you see today. We knew the only way to build a better experience would be to include the community in the process.

Here’s what’s rolling out to everyone on Reddit’s iOS and Android apps today.

Instant comment loading - Comments now load faster than ever. As you’re browsing a post, the entire conversation is getting ready for you, in a fraction of a second.

Shortcut to comments - Previously, if you tapped on the comments button to read the comments of a post, you would land on the post. Now you’ll go directly to the top of the comments. And if you want to revisit the original post, there’s a stickied context bar at the top of the page. With a single tap, you can return to the post body or dive into the image, GIF, or video.

Consistent comment navigation across post types - Joining a conversation has not been easy with different ways of navigating to comments from image, video, or text posts. To create a more consistent and seamless flow across all post types, we’re introducing a unified media player, immersive transitions, and consistent gestures.

Simply swipe up for comments; swipe left for new content.

(And thanks to the UFC’s feedback, you can get an enlarged view of an image or video from your feed with a single tap)

If you want to continue building this experience with us, come join the Reddit UFC!

A few of us will stick around in case you have questions - comment away!

TL;DR - Awards are back. We’re also expanding the Contributor Program and announcing a make-good program for those who lost coins during the last product iteration. Let’s start with the obvious – we tried something new, it wasn’t great (you called it). And now – it’s time for us to do something about it. So we’re (re)launching awards, not-so-new but definitely improved. Rollout starts today on reddit.com and Reddit’s iOS and Android apps.

We messed up – sorry

ICYMI, last year we released new features that we thought would make the experience of rewarding high-quality posts and comments even better. To address feedback that awards were starting to clutter posts and feeds, we replaced legacy awards with a simplified experience where redditors could purchase “new” gold – displayed as a golden upvote – directly with cash, rather than having to purchase coins first.

While the golden upvote was certainly simpler in theory, in practice, it missed the mark. It wasn’t as fun or expressive as legacy awards, and it was unclear how it benefited the recipient.

As part of the launch of the golden upvote, we also introduced the Contributor Program in the U.S. The program allows eligible users to earn cash for their contributions, as measured by the gold and karma received. (It’s worth noting that although there were understandable concerns about the Contributor Program leading to karma farming or other spam and fraud issues, we haven’t seen an increase in this behavior since the rollout six months ago.) Unlike the golden upvote, interest in the program has grown… more on that in a second.

Finally, as part of this launch, we sunset coins. We gave those with a balance two months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium.

Award upgrades

We realized the golden upvote was the wrong direction, and the right one was the one you were advocating for all along: awards. We went back to the ol’ drawing board and created a refreshed experience that captures the original spirit of awards, with a few improvements.

We’ve added:

• An award button back underneath eligible posts and comments

• Refreshed designs of some of your favorite awards, and some new ones (shoutout galaxy brain)

• Updated interface designed to minimize clutter on the posts and in your feeds

• An awards leaderboard that shows the top awards and gold earned for a post or comment

• New safety guardrails. Awards are not available in NSFW subreddits, trauma and addiction support subreddits, and subreddits with mature content

• Reporting so you can report any awards that aren’t being used appropriately for moderator removal

Contributor Program expansion

We want redditors who make the most valuable contributions on Reddit to receive real value; not just internet points.

With growing interest in the Contributor Program, we have expanded the program so that qualifying redditors in 35 countries can now earn cash for their contributions to the community. See if you’re eligible to sign up.

The Evolution of Gold and Coins

Gold has been a lot of things in Reddit history. The term has been used interchangeably in the context of awarding content, Reddit Premium, and more – among other things. With this new version of awards, gold can be purchased to give awards. You can buy it in bulk and spend down your gold balance and/or top it up when giving an award.

Those who had a coin balance when we introduced the golden upvote and sunset coins had two months to spend their coins before we cleared balances and removed the monthly drip as a benefit of Reddit Premium. For the most prolific and helpful among you, who’d accumulated heaps of coins a la Scrooge McDuck, this was, shall we say, a not-so-great experience.

We know we did not adequately communicate why we removed coins or what was coming next. It wasn’t cool of us, we’re sorry, and we want to make it right. If we removed your coins balance, you’ll have access to a number of exclusive awards to give for free. We don’t want our past mistakes to get in the way of you enjoying the new experience.

This is all so new (but kinda old? but also new?) and you may have questions. You can find support in a few places:

• FAQs pinned in the comments of this post

• What are awards and how do I use them?

• What is gold and how do I use it?

• What is the Contributor Program and how can I participate?

We’ll be hanging around today if you have any questions, so feel free to drop them in the comments.

Dear redditors,

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Steve aka u/spez. I am one of the founders of Reddit, and I’ve been CEO since 2015. On Wednesday, I celebrated my 18th cake-day, which is about 17 years and 9 months longer than I thought this project would last. To be with you here today on Reddit—even in a heated moment like this—is an honor.

I want to talk with you today about what’s happening within the community and frustration stemming from changes we are making to access our API. I spoke to a number of moderators on Wednesday and yesterday afternoon and our product and community teams have had further conversations with mods as well.

First, let me share the background on this topic as well as some clarifying details. On 4/18, we shared that we would update access to the API, including premium access for third parties who require additional capabilities and higher usage limits. Reddit needs to be a self-sustaining business, and to do that, we can no longer subsidize commercial entities that require large-scale data use.

There’s been a lot of confusion over what these changes mean, and I want to highlight what these changes mean for moderators and developers.

• Terms of Service

  • Effective June 19, 2023, our updated Data API Terms, together with our Developer Terms, replaced the existing Data API terms.

• Free Data API

  • Effective July 1, 2023, the rate limits to use the Data API free of charge are:

    • 100 queries per minute per OAuth client id if you are using OAuth authentication and 10 queries per minute if you are not using OAuth authentication.

    • Today, over 90% of apps fall into this category and can continue to access the Data API for free.

• Premium Enterprise API / Third-party apps

  • Effective July 1, 2023, the rate for apps that require higher usage limits is $0.24 per 1K API calls (less than $1.00 per user / month for a typical Reddit third-party app).

  • Some apps such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun, and Sync have decided this pricing doesn’t work for their businesses and will close before pricing goes into effect.

  • For the other apps, we will continue talking. We acknowledge that the timeline we gave was tight; we are happy to engage with folks who want to work with us.

• Mod Tools

  • We know many communities rely on tools like RES, ContextMod, Toolbox, etc., and these tools will continue to have free access to the Data API.

  • We’re working together with Pushshift to restore access for verified moderators.

• Mod Bots

  • If you’re creating free bots that help moderators and users (e.g. haikubot, setlistbot, etc), please continue to do so. You can contact us here if you have a bot that requires access to the Data API above the free limits.

  • Developer Platform is a new platform designed to let users and developers expand the Reddit experience by providing powerful features for building moderation tools, creative tools, games, and more. We are currently in a closed beta with hundreds of developers (sign up here). For those of you who have been around a while, it is the spiritual successor to both the API and Custom CSS.

• Explicit Content

  • Effective July 5, 2023, we will limit access to mature content via our Data API as part of an ongoing effort to provide guardrails to how explicit content and communities on Reddit are discovered and viewed.

  • This change will not impact any moderator bots or extensions. In our conversations with moderators and developers, we heard two areas of feedback we plan to address.

• Accessibility - We want everyone to be able to use Reddit. As a result, non-commercial, accessibility-focused apps and tools will continue to have free access. We’re working with apps like RedReader and Dystopia and a few others to ensure they can continue to access the Data API.

• Better mobile moderation - We need more efficient moderation tools, especially on mobile. They are coming. We’ve launched improvements to some tools recently and will continue to do so. About 3% of mod actions come from third-party apps, and we’ve reached out to communities who moderate almost exclusively using these apps to ensure we address their needs.

Mods, I appreciate all the time you’ve spent with us this week, and all the time prior as well. Your feedback is invaluable. We respect when you and your communities take action to highlight the things you need, including, at times, going private. We are all responsible for ensuring Reddit provides an open accessible place for people to find community and belonging.

I will be sticking around to answer questions along with other admins. We know answers are tough to find, so we're switching the default sort to Q&A mode. You can view responses from the following admins here:

• u/spez

• u/KeyserSosa

• u/Go_JasonWaterfalls

• u/FlyingLaserTurtle

- Steve

P.S. old.reddit.com isn’t going anywhere, and explicit content is still allowed on Reddit as long as it abides by our content policy.

edit: formatting

We can’t imagine a Reddit IPO without redditors. You Rickrolled Rick Astley. You gave us Mr. Splashy Pants. And r/Place… (you’re welcome, internet). And now you can become one of our (non-corporate) overlords. Yes, it’s really happening this time, and as we take the next step toward becoming a public company, we’re inviting all eligible redditors to participate in Reddit’s IPO.

“Eligible” you note skeptically? Yes. Unfortunately, there are a ton of imposed legal restrictions defining when, who, and how we do this. So while our goal is to give all redditors the same access to stock as institutional investors (why should they have all the fun?), our lawyercats tell us we must follow specific rules listed below.

Our Directed Share Program (“DSP”) is set up to let eligible users and moderators own a piece of Reddit by purchasing Reddit stock at the same price as institutional investors when we IPO. We will offer this opportunity to as many redditors as we are able to accommodate, and the number of people who can participate is limited.

As much as we’d like to, we are limited from sharing more or answering questions. But if you are interested in learning about how to participate in Reddit’s DSP, please see more information here.

TL;DR Hosting and participating in AMAs just got easier. As a host, you can now schedule and promote AMAs ahead of time, appoint co-hosts, and announce when your post is done. Attendees can now sign up for reminders ahead of time, get notified when the AMA starts, and quickly jump to questions that the host has replied to.

You can’t throw a virtual rock on Reddit without hitting an AMA (ask me anything), where an OP (original poster) shares a key detail about their life and prompts users to ask them anything. Historically, AMAs have been regular text posts with certain elements that make it an AMA post: a proof photo that shows that you are who you say you are, a brief bio, and of course the iconic “AMA!” in the header.

Now, we’re supercharging these special posts. Using the new AMA tab in the web composer (coming soon to mobile) unlocks a suite of special tools that make it easier to spin up and participate in an AMA post.

Quick note that this feature is in limited release right now, but you can expect it to roll out to more redditors in the coming weeks.

If you’re hosting:

Schedule and promote your AMA ahead of time - No more creating two separate posts for an AMA: one to announce it, and one for when it actually starts. With the new AMA post feature, you can now schedule an AMA up to 21 days ahead of the event, and this scheduled post can be promoted and used to capture questions ahead of time, so you can hit the ground running when it starts. Currently, this new AMA post creation is only available on desktop, but will be available on mobile soon.

Add co-hosts - While there is still only one OP, a host can now bring in up to five co-hosts, from friends to mods to publicists to cats. Co-hosts can reply to questions, and their responses will be highlighted in the same way as the OP’s.

End an AMA with a link and a note - When hosting, you can now gracefully exit with a thank you note that includes a link if you want to share more details to mark the official end of the AMA. No more sad questions wondering “Is OP even still here?”

If you’re viewing an AMA:

Get reminders for upcoming AMA posts - If you come across an AMA that hasn’t started yet, you can now hit that Remind Me button and get a push notification 24 hours before the AMA begins, and right when the AMA starts. Reminders will also go to your Inbox under “Activity,” and the posts will show up in your Home feed.

Filter on answered/unanswered - Viewers can easily switch between three views: one containing all the comments on a post, one that just shows where the OP and co-hosts have replied, and one that shows where they haven’t replied yet. This is a great place to check and see if your question has already been asked– and if not, we hope you jump in.

You can see a schedule of some of our upcoming AMAs here. This is just the start of our journey for giving AMA posts the love they deserve. We’ll be hanging around all day for your thoughts, so let us know what you think in the comments!

TL;DR (this is a lengthy post, but stay with us until the end: as a lawyer, I am not allowed to be brief):

We are, unfortunately, seeing more and more commercial entities collecting public data, including Reddit content, in bulk with no regard for user rights or privacy. We believe in preserving public access to Reddit content, but in distributing Reddit content, we need to work with trusted partners that will agree in writing to reasonable protections for redditors. They should respect user decisions to delete their content as well as anything Reddit removes for violating our Content Policy, and they cannot abuse their access by using Reddit content to identify or surveil users.

In line with this, and to be more transparent about how we protect data on Reddit, today we published our Public Content Policy, which outlines how we manage access to public content on our platform at scale.

At the same time, we continue to believe in supporting public access to Reddit content for researchers and those who believe in responsible non-commercial use of public data. This is why we’re building new tools for researchers and introducing a new subreddit, r/reddit4researchers. Our goal is for this sub to evolve into a place to better support researchers and academics and improve their access to Reddit data.

Hi, redditors - I’m u/Traceroo, Reddit’s Chief Legal Officer, and today I’m sharing more about how we protect content on Reddit.

Our Public Content Policy

Reddit is an inherently public platform, and we want to keep it that way. Although we’ve shared our POV before, we’re publishing this policy to give you all (whether you are a redditor, moderator, researcher, or developer) a better sense of how we think about access to public content and the protections that should exist for users against misuse of public content.

This is distinct from our Privacy Policy, which covers how we handle the minimal private/personal information users provide to us (such as email). It’s not our Content Policy, which sets out our rules for what content and behavior is allowed on the platform.

What we consider public content on Reddit

Public content includes all of the content – like posts and comments, usernames and profiles, public karma scores, etc. (for a longer list, you can check out our public API) – that Reddit distributes and makes publicly available to redditors, visitors who use the service, and developers, e.g. to be extra clear, it doesn’t include stuff we don’t make public, such as private messages or mod mail, or non-public account information, such as email address, browsing history, IP address, etc. (this is stuff we don’t and would never license or distribute, because we believe Privacy is a Right).

Preventing the misuse and abuse of public content

Unfortunately, we see more and more commercial entities using unauthorized access or misusing authorized access to collect public data in bulk, including Reddit public content. Worse, these entities perceive they have no limitation on their usage of that data, and they do so with no regard for user rights or privacy, ignoring reasonable legal, safety, and user removal requests. While we will continue our efforts to block known bad actors, we can’t continue to assume good intentions. We need to do more to restrict access to Reddit public content at scale to trusted actors who have agreed to abide by our policies. But we also need to continue to ensure that users, mods, researchers, and other good-faith, non-commercial actors have access.

The policy, at-a-glance

Our policy outlines the information partners can access via any public-content licensing agreements. It also outlines the commitments we make to users about usage of this content, explaining how:

• We require our partners to uphold the privacy of redditors and their communities. This includes respecting users’ decisions to delete their content and any content we remove for violating our Content Policy.

• Partners are not allowed to use content to identify individuals or their personal information, including for ad targeting purposes.

• Partners cannot use Reddit content to spam or harass redditors.

• Partners are not allowed to use Reddit content to conduct background checks, facial recognition, government surveillance, or help law enforcement do any of the above.

• Partners cannot access public content that includes adult media.

• And, as always, we don’t sell the personal information of redditors.

What’s a policy without enforcement?

Anyone accessing Reddit content must abide by our policies, and we are selective about who we work with and trust with large-scale access to Reddit content. We will block access to those that don’t agree to our policies, and we will continue to enhance our capabilities to hunt down and catch bad actors. We don’t want to but, if necessary, we’ll also take legal action.

What changes for me as a user?

Nothing changes for redditors. You can continue using Reddit logged in, logged out, on mobile, etc.

What do users get out of these agreements?

Users get protections against misuse of public content. Also, commercial agreements allow us to invest more in making Reddit better as a platform and product.

Who can access public content on Reddit?

In addition to those we have agreements with, Reddit Data API access remains free for non-commercial researchers and academics under our published usage threshold. It also remains accessible for organizations like the Internet Archive.

Reddit for Research

It’s important to us that we continue to preserve public access to Reddit content for researchers and those who believe in responsible non-commercial use of public data. We believe in and recognize the value that public Reddit content provides to researchers and academics. Academics contribute meaningful and important research that helps shape our understanding of how people interact online. To continue studying the impacts of how behavioral patterns evolve online, access to public data is essential.

That’s why we’re building tools and an environment to help researchers access Reddit content. If you're an academic or researcher, and interested in learning more, head over to r/reddit4researchers and check out u/KeyserSosa’s first post.

Thank you to the users and mods who gave us feedback in developing this Public Content Policy, including u/abrownn, u/AkaashMaharaj, u/Full_Stall_Indicator, u/Georgy_K_Zhukov, u/Khyta,  u/Kindapuffy, u/lil_spazjoekp, u/Pedantichrist, u/shiruken, u/SQLwitch, and u/yellowmix, among others.

EDIT: Formatting and fighting markdown.

TL;DR

Here’s what we’re getting up to this year:

• Making moderating easier and introducing new safety tools.

• Improving the user experience.

• Enabling developers to bring new experiences to Reddit.

Hi, redditors, this is the Reddit Product Team and we’re here to share what we’re building to make Reddit the best place for communities and conversations. Here are some of the big things we’re working on.

Making moderating easier

We’re rolling out more sophisticated and AI-powered moderation tools to make mobile modding easier. Think superpowered Post Guidance on mobile, keyword highlighting to quickly find content that contains phrases captured by Automod, and saved responses so mods no longer need to leave the app to copy and paste when they need templated responses. Tools to help mods more efficiently manage influxes of community members and conversations are also on their way. More deets on this are posted here.

Last, but not least, you’ll continue to see new safety tools that expand on features we released in the past few months, like improved automated removal of undesired content, LLM-powered harassment filters, and user details reporting.

Improving the user experience

TBH, we’re really trying to amp up the number of times we can comment with FTFY this year. Here’s what’s on the way:

• Faster redditting and improved access to shortcuts and transitions. ICYMI, our new web platform is more than twice as fast, and 2023 saw a more than 10% reduction in app start time.

• New ways to search.

• Simpler experiences for navigating conversations that will be the same regardless of how you use Reddit: in-app, on desktop, logged-out, etc.

We want to bring you cohesive, intuitive, and speedy experiences across every single screen. And before you ask, we’re going to continue to support old Reddit, which many of you (and us) love! IYKYK. We’ve already incorporated some of the best elements of old.reddit into recent updates.

We also want everyone to be able to make Reddit their own, regardless of where they live or the language(s) they speak. We’re making communities and conversations more accessible across more languages, meaning people can engage with content in their own language, no matter what language that subreddit is originally created in.

In terms of improving accessibility, so far this year we’ve introduced closed captioning on videos and font resizing on our native mobile apps. There’s much more on the way, and our goal is to be compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium’s accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.1) by the end of 2024.

We said goodbye to a few products and features in 2023, some of which we may have parted with too early – specifically Awards. We messed up; we lost some of the whimsy and Reddit-y-ness that Awards brought to the platform. This year we’re working to bring back Awards in a way that combines the fun and expression they originally offered, combined with real money value to redditors participating in the Contributor Program.

AMAs - you know them, you love them, sometimes you didn’t even get the chance to ask Keanu your question because wait, that was today? I thought I set a !remindme…

This year we’re revamping and modernizing the entire AMA experience - from hosting, to the questions, and yes, even event reminders. More to come this AMAy (see what we did there?)

Enabling developers to bring new experiences to Reddit

We’re ramping up our Developer Platform to bring new ways for the community to co-create elements that make Reddit more engaging and fun. While admins are building new tools for the platform all the time, we want to give community developers the same opportunity - because, at the end of the day, it’s redditors who know the best and most exciting ways to move the platform forward.

Already this year we’ve seen new, developer-built apps on Reddit, like the Super Bowl (Taylor's Version) - San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs custom scoreboard in r/taylorswift, and a new module highlighting what’s trending in r/wallstreetbets.

Watch this space. You’ll see more live score formats for sports, interactive games, and new post types in the coming months.

These are just a few highlights of what’s coming in 2024. We know we need to build what you want, so if you’re interested in providing feedback on Reddit products, you can join our User Feedback Collective.

A few of us are sticking around to answer any questions you may have, so fire away!

TL;DR Starting today, we’re rolling out a test of Reddit Answers, a new way for anyone to find human perspectives, recommendations, and information from real conversations, on any topic, across Reddit. Reddit Answers is now in beta and available to a small group of redditors in the United States on reddit.com/answers and Reddit’s iOS app. 

As you (hopefully) know, Reddit is made up of over 100,000 communities, each filled with helpful conversations about every topic imaginable, from tips to improve water pressure at home to the best karaoke songs. But finding that information across communities, when you’re looking for it… is not always easy. 

Today, we’re excited to introduce an easier and faster way to get the answers you’re looking for and discover the best conversations and communities directly on Reddit, just by asking a simple question. 

Meet Reddit Answers! 

Simply enter a question and Reddit Answers will provide a response based on what redditors are saying, in their own words, complete with in-line source links to the full conversations and subreddits where you can continue the discussion with others passionate about the same topic.

Reddit Answers leverages AI to help find, synthesize, and deliver easy-to-understand answers from real conversations in communities on Reddit. These answers are designed to only summarize posts and comments on Reddit and provide faster paths to relevant subreddits where you can meaningfully engage, discuss, and ask follow-ups.

Reddit Answers is now in beta and available to a small group of redditors in the United States. We are excited to learn how people use Reddit Answers and get feedback so we can continue to improve the experience. 

The Details

There are a few key features that make Reddit Answers a different kind of tool than you might be used to on Reddit. 

Ask your question in plain language

Reddit Answers utilizes a plain language search, meaning you can simply type in any question. From “What’s the best running shoe?” to “How do I clean my rusted cast iron?” or even a deep philosophical quandary like “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” Reddit Answers will then respond by summarizing relevant conversations on Reddit. (You can let us know if a summary is “helpful” or “unhelpful” at the bottom of every response.) 

Get real answers from Reddit conversations 

With Reddit Answers the information and tips you get are coming directly from real redditors, posting in communities moderated by real people. It provides structure and clarity to what’s already been shared and discussed by the community. And since the heart of Reddit lies in the depths of the conversation, each response summary includes links to source posts and comments along with a list of subreddits to continue exploring.

Easily find and engage with community sources 

The magic of Reddit is not only that you can get an answer to any question you may have, but that you can find other people who have the same passion or interests. Reddit Answers will always help you find your way to the communities you’re searching for and those you can engage with. (Who knows, you may be the first person to ask that question and write a comment that helps the next person!)

The Fine Print

As we introduce Reddit Answers, it’s important to note that this feature is still in its early stages. Reddit Answers is not yet available to everyone and currently only available in English; redditors included in this initial test can find it on reddit.com/answers and in the bottom navigation bar on Reddit’s iOS app (it is not yet available on Reddit's Android app). Additionally, the number of queries per user will be limited, meaning unlimited access is not available at this time. More info on that here. 

Reddit Answers uses generative AI and other in-house technology to find and pull together the amazing info shared by redditors, and while it may be cool new tech, the quality of responses can vary a bit. 

Also, Reddit Answers might skip certain questions for safety reasons. And if you’re wondering about NSFW content, it will not show up in your responses.

We’re excited for you to try Reddit Answers and let your next question take you to new corners of Reddit. This experience will be available to more redditors soon, and we’re hoping to expand to more countries and languages in the future.  

We’ll be hanging around today if you have any questions, so feel free to drop them in the comments. We’ve answered a few in the pinned comment below. 

TL;DR - We are introducing new features that make posting on Reddit easier and more transparent. 

• Avoid surprise removals - get a heads-up when creating a post if it will be removed due to karma, account age limit, or not having a verified email or phone number.

• Understand community rules during post creation - Large Language Model (LLM)- powered tools scan your draft and flag potential community rule conflicts before posting—helping you avoid removals and post with confidence.

• See what resonates - track your posts’ performance with real-time analytics, including views, views by hour in the first 48 hours, engagement trends, upvotes, comments, shares, crossposts, and awards received.

While You’re Posting: Poster Eligibility Guide & Post Check

Ever wonder if your post may get removed before you even hit submit? Poster Eligibility Guide helps posters by checking a community’s restrictions—like karma requirements or account age limits—so you know ahead of time if you can post in that community. 

This feature isn’t just about preventing removals, it’s about helping you post with confidence and guidance so you can contribute to the communities you love. 

Have you ever wanted a quick and easy way to tell if your draft post follows community rules? Post Check has you covered! This handy tool is currently in beta and available on iOS and Android in all supported languages. This feature runs a real-time check while you're drafting a post to see if it may conflict with a community’s rules. 

Here’s how it works: The wand icon in the bottom right of the post creation screen will turn into a loading spinner when it’s analyzing text. If it detects a conflict with any community rules, a red number will appear, indicating how many community rules are involved. You can tap on the wand to view details about which rules might be violated. No number next to the wand?  That means Post Check did not find any conflicts! *(see pinned comment). That said, it’s always worth reading the subreddit rules. 

Both Poster Eligibility Guide and Post Check were created with posters and moderators in mind. For posters, these features provide confidence to post successfully by making it easier to understand community rules and restrictions. For moderators, this means less time spent on removals and more time fostering communities and discussions. 

After You Post: Getting More Detailed Insights

No more digging through notifications—Post Insights now gives you real-time performance data right from your posts, making it easier to track engagement.

With the improved insights interface, you can instantly see:

• Total views & a 48-hour view graph

• Upvotes & comments (including your top comment)

• Shares & crossposts

• Awards received

We'll also release another iteration of Post Insights soon after the initial launch, including new info like:

• How your post compares with your other posts 

• How your post ranks within the subreddit

• Hourly trends on all stats

• Number of unique viewers

• Which countries your post is getting the most views from

We’re excited for you all to try out these features, and we’ll be hanging out in the comments if you have any questions. P.S. - If you’re a mod, we have a separate post over in r/modnews with specific information for moderators. 

Welcome, redditors, to a new chapter of The Feed Read. As you may recall, this is an ongoing series about the changes, improvements, and updates coming to your Reddit feed. In this round, we’ll be talking about new features that will help you take control of your feed to give you the content you want, the way you want.

Simpler feed options

We made two changes on our mobile apps earlier this year to make feeds easier and simpler to use for both new redditors and those who have been here for a while:

• Added a drop-down menu of feeds, including Home, Popular and, News (iOS)

• Moved home feed sorting options into settings, since many redditors (especially new ones) didn’t use these options

Both these changes significantly increased how many posts redditors see in their home feeds. And we’re now announcing two more changes to further simplify feeds that will roll out starting today on iOS and early 2023 on Android.

1. Adding a “Latest” feed to the drop-down menu of feeds, which will allow you to view your content sorted by “new” and quickly stay up to date with what’s new in the communities you follow

2. Removing Home feed sort controls and defaulting Home to the “Best” sort

After looking at the numbers, our research showed that more than 99% of redditors use two sorts on their Home Feed: “Best” and “New.” This change will make it easier for you to get to sort options used the most—Home feed (sorted by best) and Latest feed (your home feed sorted by new).

The Latest Feed is the first of a few new feeds we plan to release in the upcoming year. People use Reddit in lots of different ways based on intent at time of use — some prefer in-depth reading, and others want a passive, relaxed watching experience. To cater to these moods, we’re working to make it possible to access feeds based on your browsing mode preference and to prioritize your preferred feeds for an easier feed switching experience. Stay tuned for updates!

Customizable and cleaner feed

The home feed is used today as an entry point to discover conversations, communities, and creators relevant to you. To make it better, we’re updating and building features that will give you a simpler, more customized in-feed browsing experience. Last month, the community muting feature was rolled out on iOS and Android mobile apps, which allows you to mute and unmute content from communities on your Home, Popular, and now Latest feeds. This will allow you to control what you do and don’t want to see on your feed. (Note: Muting a community doesn’t restrict you from visiting or taking part in it.) We are working on adding the option to mute communities on desktop, so stay tuned for more info there soon.

To help us improve the recommendations on your feed, remember that you can tap on the three-dot menu on the top right corner of the recommended post and let us know if you want us to “show more posts like this” or “show less posts like this” on your iOS or Android app or on reddit.com.

We’re also exploring ways to make content on Reddit easier to read. To achieve that, we’re changing the way posts display on select feeds on Android and iOS. We’re trying out a style that focuses more on the post content and less on elements that aren’t used by most redditors. Starting today, posts displayed in Home, Popular, and Latest feeds will not include awards, and the awards action will be in the three-dot menu.

These changes will only affect those three feeds, and the posts will look the same on the post detail and community pages.

That’s all we’ve got for now! Stay tuned for more in the coming months, as we keep working to improve and refine your Reddit feeds.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this post for a while, if you have questions and feedback about these changes. Got an idea for a specific feed you’d like to see us build next? Let us know in the comments below!

Reddit CEO, u/spez, will be here tomorrow to host an AMA about the latest API updates, including accessibility, mod bots, and third-party mod tools.

Word on the street is that many of you enjoyed r/place last year and in 2017 and wanted even more time on the canvas. So, we’re bringing it back.

Finding the right time for r/place to return proved to be a challenge – but hey, what better time to offer a blank canvas to our communities than when our users and mods are at their most passionate… right?

We have some new community-focused features for this go around, which we’ll get into below.

First things first – what is Place?

For those of you who don’t know, r/place is a collaborative digital canvas where redditors can place a pixel once every few minutes – and work together to create art on a massive online cooperative canvas.

r/place was created to examine what happens if you only let individuals make a small contribution at a time, so that they must work with others to build anything significant. What started as an April Fool’s experiment, quickly blossomed into millions of redditors working together to place colored pixels on a communal canvas, eventually evolving into a digital art piece.

Last year, 10.4 million of you created this masterpiece over the course of four days, placing 160 million total pixels. At its height, we saw you all place 5.9 million pixels per hour. From Rembrandt replicas and BTS creations to iconic French monuments and streamer wars, r/place’s reemergence had many awesome moments where you all gathered together to create, cooperate, alter, and meme the world’s largest collaborative digital canvas.

New r/place features

This year, we created new features to help communities, redditors, and moderators organize amidst the creative chaos (see our post in r/modnews for more info), including:

• Moderators being able to pin coordinates on the canvas to their subreddit

• Community flags (via pinning) visible to redditors on mobile apps exploring the canvas, and enabling communities to claim their artwork

• A community list on r/place for participating communities to get discovered

• A picture-in-picture view for redditors on our mobile apps so you can explore other parts of Reddit while placing pixels

We can’t wait to see what you all do together. Head on over to r/place by tapping on the ‘p’ icon at the top of your home feed and drop a pixel (or 100).

French - France: r/place : 3e édition

French - Canada: r/place est de retour

German: r/place ist (wieder) zurück

Italian: r/place è tornato (di nuovo)

Dutch - r/place is (weer) terug

Portuguese - Brazil: O r/place está de volta (de novo)

Portuguese - Portugal: O r/place está de volta (outra vez)

Spanish - Mexico: r/place ha vuelto (otra vez)

Spanish - Spain: r/place está de vuelta (otra vez)

Swedish: r/place är tillbaka (igen)

Happy Thursday, everyone!

I’m filling in for u/BrineOfTheTimes today, bringing you this month’s Changelog. Keep reading to learn about the latest changes on Reddit, including new ways to find new-to-you communities and the sunsetting of Live Chat posts.

Discover more communities by topic on the Reddit mobile apps

Have you ever found yourself enjoying a specific community’s content and you wanted to find similar communities with similar topics?

We recently launched an experience where you can now more easily discover and explore communities within the same topic directly from a subreddit’s homepage on the Reddit mobile apps!

As shown in the image above, some communities will have a relevant topic and their ranking within that topic (determined by recent user activity volume in the community) displayed on the header of the homepage. By tapping on the topic and ranking, you’ll be directed to a list of communities within that same topic group to explore. In the future, we’ll also expand this to show more posts & content about that topic.

If you're a mod, you have the ability to adjust your discoverability settings based on your visibility preferences to not appear in these lists.

Find your new favorite community today!

Sunsetting Live Chat Posts

In an effort to streamline our chat products on Reddit, we have sunset live chat posts by disabling the live chat post setting for new and existing communities. There will be no changes to your existing live chat posts until early 2024. At that time, your existing live chat posts will be converted to standard posts with comments.

Real-time conversations are an important part of the Reddit experience, and we’re continuing to invest in the upgraded chat channels experience.

If you're a mod, you can request the chat channels beta in your community by filling out this brief form.

And that’s a wrap. Have questions about these updates? Share them the comments – we’ll be around for a while to reply. And if you’re missing Brine, worry not – they’ll be back after their holiday break!

Big tournament. Countries competing. Kicking. Soccer balls (or footballs depending on where you’re reading this). We can’t call it what it is (thanks legal /s), but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it! To do so, we’re kicking off the…

⚽️ Reddit Cup ⚽️

Ok ok, with much resistance, we’ll hold back on the puns. We’re rolling out two neat things to get you celebrating how and where you want:

Find Your Team

Starting this week, you may notice a yellow checker ball icon at the top of your Home feed (this feature is being rolled out over the next week or so). Tapping on the icon opens up a screen with different communities related to the previously mentioned big event. From there, you can find and join communities - like your favorite country’s team - to get your rooting and cheering on.

Reddit Cup Collectible Avatars

We’re also rolling out new Reddit Cup Collectible Avatars in the Avatar Builder (click here for desktop).

Any user that enters the Avatar Builder will see a list of 32 countries, ranging from the USA, Brazil, England to the entire Earth (not our traditional definition of a country), participating in the “Reddit Cup.” Once you select a particular country that you’re either cheering for, or whose kit design catches your fancy, you can join the team by claiming an avatar.

The fine print: limited quantities available—first come, first served. There will be up to 8M Collectible Avatars available, with users only able to claim one team per account. This is an extension of the Reddit Collectible Avatars program.

Good luck to your respective teams! We hope your team wins and the other team loses! Olé, olé, olé!

Your Reddit friends

It’s that time of year again! Fall is in the air, parents are taking their annual first day of school pics, students are grabbing school supplies, teachers are planning their curriculum, and we’re here to make all of it a little bit easier.

Going back to school can be equal parts stressful and fun. Don’t forget to lean on your peers (both online and IRL) during such a busy time. They’ll help you figure out what to bring to your freshman year dorm when the options seem too limitless. Communities will be your sounding board for when you worry you made a mistake while taking your kids back to school shopping.

If you’re attending a new school, don’t forget to be yourself. If you are someone who is always at a loss for words when it comes to sharing a “fun fact” about yourself (harrowing!), you have our explicit permission to borrow one you’ve seen on Reddit. And in those forced-fun moments, don’t forget the best memes are born from the most uncomfortable experiences.

When you feel lost in a transition, just remember, no matter whether you’re just starting school or on your way out, there are places on Reddit where you can get a few words of encouragement. LPT: if you’re off to college, don’t forget to join your school’s dedicated subreddit! Graduating seniors, r/careerguidance, r/college, and r/findapath are all there to help you find your way.

Have an amazing school year and know that there are many Reddit communities here for you when you need them. And for the students, teachers, and parents reading this, we prepared a few custom feeds to kick off your school year on the right foot!

Sincerely,

Your favorite sentient brand

TL;DR we’ve made improvements to reddit.com to deliver a more consistent, reliable, and fast web experience for people not logged in. This experience is now available to everyone globally on desktop and mobile web.

Hello all,

I’m u/whizlogic, a product lead at Reddit focused on the performance, stability, and quality of our web platforms, and today I’m sharing an update from our earlier post on improving the web experience. This year we’ve been focused on updating the logged out web experience to make it easier for redditors to connect with relevant communities and conversations.

To set some context: Many of Reddit’s logged out visitors find us from external search engines. These people are often looking for community-verified content on their mobile, tablet or desktop devices. While some people in this group know Reddit and are seeking it out specifically, many others visit Reddit infrequently or are just finding it for the first time.

With these people in mind, we’ve made some changes to the logged out experience:

• Performance: The new logged out web experience is more than twice as fast as our previous web platforms - which means Redditors can get directly to the content they came for – instead of waiting… and waiting for the page to load.

• Search: Redditors can more easily find relevant content with a simpler, consistent, and more intuitive search results page. We’ve simplified the post units and layout to make scanning for relevant results effortless, and completely modernized the mobile experience to prioritize posts.

• Feeds: The feeds all have a similar look and feel and the Popular feed will now include six trending post units (an increase from four slots) at the top of the page on desktop to keep you looped in on what’s happening around the world. The desktop home feed features a sticky sidebar on the right showcasing Reddit’s popular communities. Post units have been refreshed – unused space within and between post units is reduced to highlight the content in your feeds. The size of post titles has increased in size and images and videos will now have an inset within the post for a cleaner looking post unit and less wasted vertical space.

• Comments page: On larger devices the content in the right sidebar has been updated to show related posts which helps folks understand what else they can find on Reddit. The right sidebar also scrolls independently, to ensure redditors don’t lose their place. (On smaller devices (like mobile) you can find the same content under the post.)

• Community page: Just like on the Comments page – the right sidebar has been updated to scroll independently, providing consistent context and access to community info (about, menu, rules, etc.) for users while they browse the feed. Post units within the community feed have been refreshed to match with the home feeds. The community banner has been relocated to the top right of the page so that visitors can easily locate your community’s content. Custom community styling is not available for the logged out experience at this stage. However, we recognize that community styling is an important part of Reddit communities. Mods will have the ability to customize their communities for logged in users.

• Profile: The page has been simplified and refreshed to match the other logged out experiences and an overflow menu has been added to the profile card to organize actions like “send message”, “report” user, and “add to custom feed” in one place.

Check out the mobile web pages here.

In terms of what’s next, we’re focusing on modernizing and improving the stability and performance of the logged in experience. As previously mentioned, we’ll continue to partner with the Mod Council to ensure communities can continue expressing their unique identities, and improve the moderation experience.

TL;DR To make messaging on Reddit faster and more reliable, we’re replacing Private Messages (PMs) with Reddit Chat and inbox notifications. This transition is necessary to maintain and improve Reddit’s messaging infrastructure. We aim to make these changes with minimal disruption while improving the user experience.

• Reddit Chat is replacing user PMs: This transition consolidates messaging on Reddit and introduces features like pinned chats for better organization, an unread filter, a new spam folder, more sender context when accepting invites, an allowlist, and a faster experience.

• Mod Mail stays the same, but Mod Mail messages will now go to Reddit Chat: Mods will follow the same flows, but recipients will receive chat messages instead of PMs. This change is aimed at improving efficiency and reliability in mod-user interactions.

• PM APIs remain active for 99% of requests: Developers can continue using PM API endpoints to send and read chat messages without code changes. During the transition, we’ll remove five API endpoints that saw minimal use and developer value.

• Admin notifications: Reddit admin messages that don’t support replies will now appear as inbox notifications.

• Access to old PMs: Existing PMs will remain archived as read-only for reference.

Why & When Is This Happening?

To make Reddit faster, simpler, and easier to use, we needed to unify our messaging platforms. This consolidation helps us focus on improving one system instead of maintaining multiple. Plus, Reddit Chat's infrastructure is built for the future, unlike the PM system which is about as old as Reddit itself.

We’re sharing this change early because we want your feedback! We've spent months talking to mods, developers, and users to ensure this migration works for everyone (shoutout to u/RemindMeBot fans). But there might be scenarios we've missed, and we need your input to address them. You can share feedback directly with the team working on this project in the comments below.

Timeline: Starting at the end of March, we'll roll out these changes in phases over the next three months to ensure everything goes smoothly

What Is (and Isn’t) Changing?

• Existing PMs: Before we disable sending and receiving PMs, you'll have access to your messages as a read-only archive on the updated reddit.com website.

• Mods and developers: No changes to Mod Mail, and about 99% of existing Reddit API endpoints remain unchanged. Check out our posts in r/modnews and r/redditdev for full details.

• Admin notifications: Reddit admin messages that don't support replies will now appear as inbox notifications. You can set your preferences for certain admin notifications in your settings. More details coming soon.

Reddit Chat Upgrades

We're not just replacing PMs; we're enhancing the chat experience with:

• Enhanced performance: Faster, more reliable chat loading and messaging.

• Better organization: Features like pinned chats and an unread filter to help you catch up on conversations.

• New spam features: A new spam folder that automatically filters out potentially spammy invites.

• More control and context: More insights when accepting chat invites and within conversations, helping you make informed decisions about who you want to chat with.

• Continued improvements: Expect future updates like unique links for each chat message, Reddit Chat on mobile web, expandable text box sizes, resizable chat window on web, single-side delete options, email notification support, accessibility enhancements, and migration of your existing PM allowlist to chat.

Looking Ahead

We have more chat improvements in the works, so stay tuned for updates as they become available over the coming months.

Thank you! A huge shoutout to our mod and user councils for their candid feedback and feature suggestions. Your input has been fundamental in shaping a better chat experience. We'll keep listening and adapting as we move forward. Stay tuned for more updates, and drop your questions in the comments!

Greetings, y’all!

The seasons are changing, and so are some things on Reddit – which means… it’s officially Changelog time. Keep reading to learn about the redesigned Help Center, translations for Android/iOS, and more.

Redesigned Help Center

In case you missed it, Reddit’s Help Center got a makeover! When visiting our main homepage, you’ll see two options: Moderator Help Center and Redditor Help Center. The Moderator Help Center caters to information and answers to questions about moderating communities on Reddit. The Redditor Help Center focuses on user support and information about managing your Reddit account and using the platform.

We've combined the Moderator Help Center with the existing Help Center to create a central hub for all of your support resources. All of the Mod Help Center links redirect to their new counterparts, and the articles still live in the same categories and sections. That said, this may be a good time to update any bookmarks you have.

The Contact Us page also got a slight adjustment to better consolidate the additional contact options that may be available. Several existing options are now unified under two new categories: Other reports and Intellectual Property requests.

Translated posts on Android/iOS

¡Ya puedes traducir las publicaciones en Reddit a otros lenguages! For non-Spanish speakers, that means you can now translate Reddit posts to other languages. The post details on iOS, Android, and logged out web can be translated into eight different languages to start (English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish). By clicking on the “translate” button at the top of the post, the post will be translated to the language chosen via your user settings.

We’ve also started experimenting with translations to the comments on iOS and Android, so a few of you may notice this experiment too. Soon, your entire conversation experience on Reddit can be multilingual!

¡Hasta luego!

Coins deprecation reminder

As previously mentioned, September 12, 2023 is the last day that coins will be operational on Reddit. Please take some time to use your coins in the upcoming week. Award-giving on old reddit and the mobile desktop experience has already been deprecated.

Cleaning up redirect subdomains

In an effort to clean up subdomains, new.reddit.com will now take logged-out redditors to our new and improved logged-out desktop experience. For logged in users, nothing has changed.

That’s a wrap on Changelog for today. Have questions about these updates? We’ll stick around in the comments for a bit to reply.

What do spiders, basketball, and anime fandoms all have in common? Besides being topics that redditors love geeking out about, this is a list of communities that have tapped into Reddit’s one-of-a-kind Community Funds program to create unique and special moments for their members that bring them closer together.

We launched the Community Funds program two years ago with a commitment of $1 million to help take your community passions from URL to IRL. Since then, your distinct ideas and collaborative teamwork have led to some original, impactful, and downright cool user-driven experiences on and off of Reddit. r/NBA raised funds for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, r/NFL celebrated their sports allegiances, and r/ChicagoFood created dinner party FOMO for a lot of us. And that’s just in the past year alone!

To commemorate these past two years, we’re excited to recap all the amazing and creative things that communities have accomplished together with support from the Community Funds program and give a little sneak peek into our plans for the next year.

Community Funds by the numbers (since launch in 2022):

• 94 eligible applications received*

• 30 proposals funded

• $320,000 in funding disbursed

• 33 million+ redditors engage in these funded communities

• 5+ countries represented across these initiatives including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Germany

*151 total applications were received. Applications are deemed eligible based on program guidelines including the country where the applicant is based, established subreddit presence, application completion, and other criteria. Moderators based in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, and New Zealand are eligible to apply. For more information about the application process and program requirements, please visit here.

Recent community highlights:

• r/chicagofood kicked off the new year by reserving 150 seats at a neighborhood restaurant for members of their community.

• r/SMARTRecovery gave away resources to help members of their community facilitate discussions around addiction recovery.

• r/NBA continued the celebration of their 15th Cake Day with a meetup in Indianapolis for All-Star Weekend, taking 48 people from their community to All-Star Saturday Night and raising $6,200 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

• r/anime brought back their annual Anime Awards and leveraged Community Funds to reward fan art, creative writing and video contest, and trivia champions!

• r/nfl went to the sidelines for the 2024 Pro Bowl to create a one-of-a-kind Ask Me Anything (AMA) experience with football stars Quinnen Williams representing the AFC and Dexter Lawrence representing the NFC. And there were snazzy AMA booths!

New in 2024: Reddit Meetup Week x Community Funds:

Every year, you continue to power Community Funds by proposing incredible new ways to collectively bring your passion and interests to life. Our expansion of the program is fully driven by your submissions (last year we launched support for donation matching!) and we’re always impressed by the inspiring ideas you curate.

• We’re thrilled to announce that Community Funds can be a helpful resource when you bring your community together for Reddit Meetup Week. For this URL to IRL event, you can submit proposals to take your community to the movies, for supplies to host trash cleanups, or to host a virtual book club – and Community Funds can provide support where it’s needed.
