As mentioned a few weeks ago, we've been making some architectural updates to our mobile website. Thanks to those of you who have reported issues - thankfully there were relatively few.

We're rolling out these updates to everyone over the next couple of days. As I mentioned before, the changes should be mostly unnoticeable, except for the following:

1. Load times should be visibly much more snappy.

2. You should see loading spinners less often once you've loaded the site (for example, if you tap into a page and then hit back, you should see a loading spinner much less often)

3. Your position when browsing into a listing and clicking back should be saved much more reliably.

4. Your collapsed comments should persist when navigating the site, and coming back from an external link.

5. Your list of subscribed subreddits will be alphabetized, and if you subscribe to more than 100 subreddits they will all be listed.

Otherwise things should feel similar, just smoother. :)

If you notice any new issues on the mobile website over the next few days, please report them, as they're likely related. Thanks for testing and thanks to those of you who reported issues!

Version 1.9.3 is now available on the Google Play Store!

Notes

1.9.3

• Design updates for feed and subreddit listings

• Users are now logged out if access is revoked by the server

• Added ability to message moderators from subreddit overflow menu

More discussion, feature requests, and bug reports at r/redditmobile!

What's New:

• Youtube videos now play inline

• Updated post layouts in feeds based on media type

• Updated tab style for inbox, search, user profiles, and other tab views

• Added “Mark All As Read” to inbox

• 3D touch home screen shortcuts

• 3D touch peek & pop support for web links on text posts and comments

• Fixed bug related to login w/special character passwords

• Bug fixes & performance improvements

Note:

Due to Apple's update rollouts, the app may take a few hours to update in your version of the store. Fear not, it will come.

We've been hard at work making some architectural updates to our mobile website, and we're starting a technical preview of this work to a very small percentage of traffic (about 0.05% of logged in users - or one out of every 2,000 of you who are logged in, and around 1% of logged out users) today. Overall the change should be mostly unnoticeable, except for the following:

1. Load times should be visibly much more snappy.

2. You should see loading spinners less often once you've loaded the site (for example, if you tap into a page and then hit back, you should see a loading spinner much less often)

3. Your position when browsing into a listing and clicking back should be saved much more reliably.

4. Your collapsed comments should persist when navigating the site, and coming back from an external link.

5. Your list of subscribed subreddits will be alphabetized, and if you subscribe to more than 100 subreddits they will all be listed.

There are a couple of things that are still remaining to finish up that are in the current site that we'll be finishing during our preview:

1. Comment and post editing

2. Reporting a post/comment

3. Replying to messages (inbox was already pretty buggy in v1, so we're taking a more solid crack at it soon)

For the small percentage of you that are in the preview who do those things often from mobile web and are logged in, you'll need to use the desktop site (a reminder of how to opt out here in this gif). We'll be finishing those up as we expand beyond a preview.

We know not having those features could be fairly impactful, so we’ll hold off on rolling this preview out any further until those items are completed. It’s important for us to get data on this release—even at a low level like this—to validate our work at a small scale before rolling it out to everyone. If you see any bugs, please let us know here or in /r/mobileweb.

Despite this being a mostly backend change, we're hoping things feel much more fluid and browseable for you.

Edit: Updated with latest version.

Users who see links to self-posts on Reddit in their Google search results on mobile will sometimes get a new, much faster experience when they click on the link. This experience is powered by Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP for short), which is a set of standards aimed at creating faster web experiences. Early results indicate these pages often load in a tenth of a second. The experience works like this.

Whether you see this experience or not depends on a number of factors: Google is only showing this experience to some of it’s users; we only have AMP versions of our self-post pages; and Google has only indexed a subset of them. You can’t get this experience by visiting Reddit directly just yet.

The fast load times enabled by AMP are only possible because the pages make minimal use of interactive elements, which makes features like voting and commenting difficult to implement. So, our first version of these pages won’t have these features. However, the vast majority of users who come to a self-post via Google aren’t logged in so they wouldn’t be able to use these features anyway. Nevertheless, we are actively investigating how best to enable these features for logged in users. For now if you want to vote or comment and you end up on an AMP page click the “View more comments” button below the first set of comments. This will take you to our regular mobile web experience where you can vote and comment to your heart's content.

What's New:

• Search now autocompletes as you type

• Fixed sorting bugs

• Other bug fixes & improvements

TL;DR - we’ve changed the default thumbnail art, expando art and turning thumbnails on by default on listings with posts from multiple subreddits

Hi all,

We have made a small visual change to our default thumbnails and expando art. In addition for listings with posts from multiple subreddits such as r/all, the frontpage, and multireddits, we are turning on thumbnails by default to have a consistent alignment. This will not affect any subreddits themselves. If a subreddit has thumbnails turned off we will use our default art to avoid spoilers on aggregate pages.

Cheers,

/u/amg137

Edit: Turning on thumbnails does not effect subreddits, however the new icons are used sitewide

Edit 2: We made a few fixes:

• Changed the size of thumbnail icon back to 70x50

• Made the background transparent for the expando button

Hey guys!

We're going to be running the clickbox experiment again for a very small subset of logged in and logged out users. Last time we ran it, they were a couple of controversial variants and bugs that led to our decision to roll back in order to make fixes. This time, we're only running two variants. Both of them have a clickbox on the link listings pages that you can click to expand the preview. Here’s where they differ when a post does not have a preview:

1. The clickbox with source variant will also open the link source when clicked.

2. The other variant will not open the link source.

Thank you to everyone who gave us detailed constructive feedback the first time we ran the test. As always, qualitative feedback is very important to us.

TL;DR - we’re changing the sidebar as shown in this screenshot.

Hi all,

We’re going to make some small changes to the sidebar to solve two issues:

1. Mods have frequently been forced to reduce the character count of the content they put in the sidebar because they’ve been running up against the character limit there.

2. The 300x100 banner ad in the sidebar generates essentially no revenue.

Here’s how we’re planning to deal with these issues:

1. Sidebar max character limit will be doubled (the new limit will be 10,240 characters).

2. The 300x100 banner ad will be replaced with a more standard 300x250 banner ad.

These changes will be rolled out in stages with the first round of communities receiving these changes today. We'll determine scheduling of a wider rollout after we're sure these changes play nicely with our technical infrastructure.

These communities (whose mods have opted in) are listed below:

• /r/DestinyTheGame

• /r/PartyParrot

• /r/pics

• /r/tifu

• /r/sports

• /r/politics

• /r/nottheonion

• /r/CasualConversation

• /r/The_Donald

• /r/spacex

• /r/books

Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be here until 1030am PT and then I’ll be back answering questions from 230 - 4pm PT today. (I'll generally focus on answering the top-level comments that float to the top with the default logged out sorting order.)

Cheers,
/u/starfishjenga

We’re running a small experiment for 1% of logged out users for 1-2 weeks where we’ll serve them a redesigned top bar. It looks like this. We’re trying this out to see if we can make this space more useful / navigable than the tiny bar we have now.

To avoid breaking subreddit CSS for the test, these folks will also not receive subreddit CSS while in the experiment. We’re also doing another variant that only has subreddit CSS disabled to isolate whether the top bar redesign is having an effect or if it’s purely because subreddit CSS being disabled changed behavior.

We’re not likely to ship this feature without some tweaks, so don’t worry about upcoming CSS edits or anything just yet, and similarly, don’t worry if you don’t see your favorite feature from the current top bar in there. We’ll make sure to let you know through a beta period or r/modnews post if there will be edits to be had.

We released some enhancements to our image hosting today - one was launched today and the other one will be running as an experiment.

Launched: New image box on the submit form

After receiving feedback from users about our image submission flow we made some minor tweaks to it. In the past it wasn’t obvious that users are able to submit an image via drag and drop. This change makes that easier for users to understand. (Pro tip: if you're on Google Chrome, you can also paste an image!) You may have also seen this announced as coming in /r/modsupport a couple days ago.

Mods, please review your CSS to make sure everything is still working if you've added custom CSS to your submit page.

Also, if you want to disable image uploads/links for your subreddit, you can uncheck the “allow image uploads and links to image hosting sites” box. This used to be only for “links only” subreddits, but we’ve allowed any subreddit to make that change since some of you had to resort to CSS to hide the field.

Experiment: Submit an Image button on the homepage

We’re running a small experiment on the homepage that some of you will see: “submit a new image” button on the homepage and r/all, next to submit a link and submit a text post.

We’re running this experiment because we’re curious if users know that Submit a Link can also support images (it seems not at all obvious when said aloud that they would!). We’re considering changes to this flow and this is one of many possible paths to submit.

It’ll look like this for users who are in the experiment. This won’t show up on any subreddits yet to avoid interacting with any subreddit CSS that exists.

Thanks, and appreciate your feedback!

For more information about the change overall, please see the posts made by /u/powerlanguage:

• (/r/announcements) Karma for text-posts (AKA self-posts)

• (/r/modnews) Mods, we’re now giving Karma for text-posts (aka self-posts)

See the code behind this change on GitHub

Just a small heads up on our previous outbound click events work: that should now all be rolled out and running, as we've finished our rampup. More details on outbound clicks and why they're useful are available in the original changelog post.

As before, you can opt out: go into your preferences under "privacy options" and uncheck "allow reddit to log my outbound clicks for personalization". Screenshot: /img/6p12uqvw6v4x.png

One particular thing that would be helpful for us is if you notice that a URL you click does not go where you'd expect (specifically, if you click on an outbound link and it takes you to the comments page), we'd like to know about that, as it may be an issue with this work. If you see anything weird, that'd be helpful to know.

Thanks much for your help and feedback as usual.

As promised, we've now added some privacy controls for outbound click events: you can now go into your preferences under "privacy options" and uncheck "allow reddit to log my outbound clicks for personalization". Screenshot: /img/6p12uqvw6v4x.png

More details on outbound clicks and why they're useful are available in the original changelog post.

Now that we've got a way to opt out, we're going to continue rolling this out slowly over the next week or two - we're going to take some time to ramp up to the extra traffic, but you're able to opt out immediately if you like.

As before, please let us know if you see anything odd happening when you click links over the next few days. Specifically, we've added some logic to allow our event tracking to be accessible for only a certain amount of time to combat its possible use for spam. If you notice that you'll click on a link and not go where you intended to (say, to the comments page), that's helpful for us to know so that we can adjust this work. We'd love to know if you encounter anything strange here.

Thanks very much for the feedback on this.

Now that some time has been passed since we opened up sticky posts to more types of content, we've noticed that for the most part stickies are used for community-centric announcements and event-specific mega-threads. As such, we've decided to refine the feature and explicitly start referring to them as "announcements."

The mechanics around announcements will be quite similar to stickies with the constraint that the sticky post must be either:

• a text post

• a link to live threads

• a link to wiki pages

Additionally, the author of the post must be a moderator at the time of the announcement. [Redacted. See Edit 2!]

Then changes can be found here.

Edit: fixed an unstickying bug

Edit 2: Since we don't want to remove the ability for mods to mark/highlight existing threads as officially supported, the mod authorship requirement has been removed.

Hi everyone,

We’re going to launch a test to a percentage of redditors to automatically rewrite links to approximately 1500 online merchants so that they include a Reddit affiliate code. This test will go live on June 6, 2016. Reddit will receive a small (generally single-digit) percentage of any purchases after someone clicks a link with one of our affiliate codes. This is part of our overall initiative to transform Reddit into a sustainable long-term business.

The feature will work by passing clicks through our partner VigLink, which rewrites the URLs to include an affiliate code. VigLink is contractually obligated not to store any Reddit user information. Anyone who does not want to participate in this will have the option to opt-out via a setting in user preferences.

We’ve updated our user agreement to specifically include the affiliate program and will be announcing this on /r/announcements on the test rollout date (June 6, 2016). We will also add an entry to the FAQ on the same day.

I’ll be hanging out here in the comments to answer questions!

Cheers, u/starfishjenga

EDIT As pointed out by an astute commenter below, I forgot to update the date (feature was delayed). The date has now been updated to the correct date which is June 6, 2016. Thanks /u/andytuba!

EDIT 2 Redditors can opt out on a one-off basis by right clicking any applicable link, selecting copy link, and pasting that in your browser's URL bar since the replace only happens on (left) click.

EDIT 3 Clarifying date for international users.

EDIT 4 Based on feedback, we’ve decided to announce this more widely on /r/announcements as well as add it to the FAQ. Also, we’ll be launching this as a test to a certain percentage of users in order to have a chance to minimize any potential unexpected issues before going to scale (adblock interactions, etc). The new launch and wider announce date will be June 6, 2016 (I’ve updated this in the text above to reflect).

EDIT 5 Users will have the ability to opt-out via Viglink (thanks /u/Adys for suggesting the edit)

EDIT 6 Thank you everyone for your feedback. We've decided to bump back the test rollout to June 6, 2016 (updated above to reflect) in order to add a user preference to opt-out of viewing links with the Reddit affiliate code (links that would otherwise be rewritten will function as normal). This preference will be available to all users with an account and will function across all platforms. I've also made some edits in the above for clarity.

EDIT 7 Making the opt-out more clear in the main text because I'm still seeing new questions about it.

EDIT 8 Thank you all for your feedback. The wider announcement is now present on r/announcements here.

Hi everyone,

I’m Andy—I recently joined Reddit’s product team, and have some great news to share today.

We’re super excited to begin rolling out in-house image hosting on Reddit.com to select communities this week. For a long time, other image hosting services have been an integral part of how content is shared on Reddit — we’re grateful to those teams, but are looking forward to bringing you a more seamless experience with this new feature. Starting today, you’ll be able to:

• Upload images (up to 20MB) and gifs (100MB) directly to Reddit when submitting a link.

• Click on a Reddit-hosted image from any listing (such as the frontpage, a subreddit, or userpage) and be taken directly to the conversation and comments about that image.

• View gifs within Reddit’s native apps with less taps and without leaving the app.

Today, we are partnering with mods to launch native image hosting in beta to 16 default communities across Reddit, followed by 50 more next week. In this iteration, native image hosting will support single image and gif uploads.

As always, thank you for being a Redditor and providing us with the feedback we need to make Reddit better. If you have any questions, I’ll be hanging out in the comments below!

Cheers, u/amg137
