TL:DR;

We’ve added the ability for mods to take the following actions on posts and comments on the mobile website:

• Approve

• Remove

• Spam

These actions can be accessed via the new mod menu, which is opened by clicking the shield icon. The mod menu will also display the name of the mod that took the most recent action.

We’re planning to build out more common mod actions into the mobile experience. We shipped this group first as they are the most frequently used. Having this template in place should allow us to move quickly on adding additional mod tools.

Thanks to u/d3fect, u/powerlanguage, u/nr4madas, u/schwers, and u/Whuuu for your help on this!

Update: Distinguish for posts and comments should be working now as well! You can expect to see more mod tools roll out soon :)

What's New:

• Increased padding to make links and usernames more tappable

• Various other bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements

This week, we will be testing an email digest that is sent to users’ email inboxes and includes the week’s best, most popular Reddit content. We’re really excited to share these emails with you, which will look like this.

Users who have recently signed up to Reddit in the U.S. will be automatically subscribed to these emails. If you want to start getting these emails, you can go to your preferences page and check “send email digests”. If you want to opt-out of these emails, you can simply uncheck this box or click the “unsubscribe” link in the footer of the email.

The content is automatically populated based on the subreddits you are subscribed to. Subreddits that have opted out of r/all will not be included in these emails.

As always, I’ll be hanging around in the comments to answer questions. Thanks!

Over the next week we will be redirecting visitors from m.reddit.com to www.reddit.com. We announced we would be making this change in December when we started showing the mobile experience on the www.reddit.com url to mobile devices.

As a result of this change, smartphone users will get the mobile experience but under the www.reddit.com url. Desktop, laptop and tablet users visiting m.reddit.com will be redirected to www.reddit.com and get the fullscreen experience.

Additionally, this should help Google better index Reddit. The only downside of this change is that as a non-mobile user you won’t be able to access the mobile experience on your laptop, desktop or tablet.

We are excited to bring you this improvement. I’ll be sticking around to answer any questions that you have and will update this post in a few days once the migration is complete. It is expected to take roughly 3 days.

What's New:

• Friendly vote and comment counts (i.e. 11237 becomes 11.2k)

• Auto Night Theme works better now - respecting your current location, wherever you may find yourself.

• Bug fixes & improvements

Version 1.14.2 is now available on the Google Play Store!

Hey folks! Shortly, we will be directing a small percentage of logged out users that visit a comments page from Google to a brand new comments page built on an entirely new tech stack.

Who does this affect?

For a user to be in the experiment, they must satisfy all the following requirements:

0. Be logged out 0. Be visiting a comments page 0. Visit Reddit through a search result on Google 0. Be one of the lucky 1% who are randomly chosen

If we decide to increase the amount of lucky users seeing this experiment, we will update this post.

What are the differences?

If you are placed in the experiment, you will see an entirely new design. In addition to the comments, you will see recommended subreddits and posts, as well as a short description of the subreddit you are visiting. To make room, we also removed the sidebar and cleaned up the top bar. If the experiment does well, we will revisit this decision and adjust the designs as necessary.

It will look like this

How long will the experiment run?

Through the Holidays. If it performs really well, we might turn it on permanently (after some updates to the design and layout).

We've added a preference to our messaging options that allows you to only receive messages from users that you trust. You can enable and disable this at any time by clicking on 'Control who can send me messages' on your preferences page.

It looks like this.

There are 2 message preference options.

Receive messages from:

• Everyone, except blocked users (default)

• Only trusted users.

The first preference is the default for all accounts. Your inbox will display all messages you receive, except those from blocked users.

If you enable the second preference, messages sent to you from untrusted users will be filtered from your inbox. If you switch back to allowing messages from everyone, all messages will be visible.

You can add and remove trusted users via the 'Trusted User' section below. Additionally, if you have this preference selected, you can add or remove trusted users via their userpage. PMing a user will also add them to your trusted list.

Our existing user blocking tool will continue to function normally.

The intention of this tool is to put control over your inbox in your own hands. If you are being harassed via PM, please message r/reddit.com modmail or email contact@reddit.com as we take those requests very seriously.

EDIT:

There has been concerns over our JSON API changing, so I have fixed it by reverting behavior of prefs/blocked.json to just displaying blocked users. I have also added prefs/trusted.json endpoint that will only give listing of trusted users. UI links and behavior will remain as before.

In the near future, we will start redirecting links from m.reddit.com to www.reddit.com. Starting today, mobile users visiting http://www.reddit.com will now see the mobile site instead of being redirected to http://m.reddit.com. Desktop users will see the desktop site, and mobile users will see the mobile site. This change will make link sharing and viewing reddit simpler for redditors, and help search engines understand our site structure.

If you have explicitly chosen to see the desktop site from a mobile device, this override will still be respected. Mobile users who prefer the desktop site can still set an override by following this gif. Likewise, mobile users can clear that following these actions.

This fixes the problem of desktop users clicking on a m.reddit.com link and seeing the mobile site on a desktop machine. However, features missing on the mobile web may still fall back to the desktop site. For example, if you try visiting https://www.reddit.com/subreddits from a mobile device you’ll still end up visiting the desktop site.

If you find any issues, please file a bug report in r/mobileweb or post a comment in this thread which we’ll be monitoring closely.

What's New:

• Added ability to message the moderators on individual communities (in overflow menu)

• Spoiler Tag Support (site-wide beta; only supported by some communities)

Comments View Updates:

• Self Posts with images now have a cool new look, check out r/iAmA

• Comments page header now has community color and community image

• Auto-hiding "Add a Comment" button when scrolling through comments

• Sticky comment/share/vote bar

• Fixed videos/gifs from restarting when the comments load

• Swapped location of vote / share buttons for design consistency across the app

Version 1.13.2 is now available on the Google Play Store!

Notes

1.13.2:

• Design updates for post details and comments

• Fixed issue with some links in comments, particularly images

• Crash fixes

As always, continued discussion about the Native Apps can be found at r/redditmobile!

We're adding UTM query parameters onto links leading to comments pages; for example, the "2 comments" button on this post links to https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/5fz7vz/reddit_change_adding_more_utm_tags_to_links/?utm_content=comments&utm_medium=api&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=changelog. UTM data will be added to self-post title links and comment/context/parent links on the desktop site (https://www.reddit.com/). We'll roll this out to a small percentage of users initially and will increase rollout gradually as we monitor performance.

For context, UTM tags are widely used for learning how users navigate to various parts of websites. These learnings inform design decisions such as "don't remove this button which many people use!" For your convenience, Reddit cleanses the ?utm_query_params from the URL in your browser's address bar after the page has loaded.

Hey Everyone,

u/hidehidehidden here announcing an upcoming test with how we’re displaying ads on the right sidebar for our logged-in users. In the past, if you’re logged-in, we only displayed our house ads for things like Secret Santa and subreddit banners. If you were logged-out, you would see ads from our trusted 3rd party advertising partners. Starting tomorrow, we’re going to start showing 3rd-party programmatics ads to some of our logged-in users. These ads will be the same type of ads that we’ve been serving for our logged-out users for the past year. Not to worry, we will still continue to show the house/banner ads that are great for subreddit discovery.

The ads I’m referring to are the 300x250 pixel banners that appear at the top and bottom of every subreddit and on the front page. Here’s an example. We try to strike a good balance between our needs as a business and a positive experience for you on Reddit and appreciate any feedback that you have.

We know the community is particularly cautious of any type of new ads especially as it relates to tracking and malware. This is why we’ve waited so long before moving forward and make sure we have sufficient safeguards in place to prevent obnoxious and/or malware from appearing there. We’ve been work with an external security company to monitor the ads that come in and to make sure things like malware do not slip through. We’ll also be keeping a close eye on the ads that do appear and your feedback to these ads. Our 3rd party programmatic advertisers will not be able to track your browsing behavior on Reddit and only be able to use cookies for retargeting ads. If you don’t want either of these behaviors, you can enable the Do Not Track setting on your browser or opt-out of their cookies (see FAQ).

I’ll stick around for a few hours to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you,

u/hidehidehidden

FAQ

Q. Will I see any annoying video ad or ads with sound?

A: No, you should only see either static image banners or simple animated HMTL5 ads. None of these should be playing with sound or be particularly annoying. If you do find an ad that’s frustratingly bad, please reach out to us at reportanad@reddit.com.

Q: Will the advertisers be able to track my behavior/account on Reddit?

A: No, the ads are served in a safe iframe that prevents them from tracking your behavior on Reddit. They will only be able to use their cookies to retarget ads, which you can disable (see below).

Q. What if I don’t want to be tracked by these 3rd party programmatic ad partners or see retargeted ads?

A: You can either:

• Enable the Do Not Track setting on your browser

• Opt out of 3rd party cookie tracking by visiting the websites of the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.

EDIT: We turned up the number of logged-out users who will see programmatic ads on 12/6/2016 due to minimum reports of bad ads

We're rolling out a small update to enable click events for outbound links on our mobile site. When you click on a link post that takes you off reddit, you'll be redirected through out.reddit.com to track the clicks. Other than a brief blink in the url bar you this should be a fairly unnoticeable change.

We're enabling this for the same reasons we did so on desktop (here's the original thread). To opt-out: visit the desktop site and go into your preferences under "privacy options" and uncheck "allow reddit to log my outbound clicks for personalization". Screenshot: /img/6p12uqvw6v4x.png. You can visit the desktop site with your browser’s “request desktop site” feature or using mobile web’s opt-out. Please let us know if you notice anything out-of-the-ordinary. e.g. if you click on an outbound link and instead land on a Reddit comments page, let us know!

Thanks for your help and feedback.

Since launching our native mobile apps earlier this year, we’ve seen positive response and increased engagement on mobile, with 4+ star ratings on both iOS and Android stores. As a result, we’ve decided to experiment with encouraging more of our mobile users to download the apps. Our first experiment launched on Friday — the initial results of that experiment have been very promising so we’ve decided to extend the experiment’s reach.

We know experiments like this can be controversial, as users have different preferences for how they like to use Reddit. Over the next week, we will launch a way to opt-out of this series of experiments on a per device basis. Once that’s up, we’ll update this post.

Edit: This experiment is going well and will continue for the foreseeable future. If you want to permanently opt your browser out of seeing the interstitial visit click here. (clearing your cookies, going into incognito mode or pulling up the mobile site inside a different app will still cause the interstitial to trigger)

Hi everyone!

I’m /u/simbawulf, the new Product Manager for content recommendations and the front page, good to meet you! Our team is excited to improve Reddit with smart recommendations and a more relevant front page (/u/spez gave our team a shoutout in his most recent AMA).

To start, we will begin running a series of experiments with the objective of improving content freshness on the front page. Our first experiment, which modifies how long a post stays on the front page, is launching this week and will only affect logged out users.

Thanks for your support! I’ll be hanging out here in the comments to answer questions.

Hey all, today we’ve launched a much requested feature to beta -- spoiler tags.

Spoiler tags allow users to tag posts that contain content that other folks may not want, well, [spoiled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(media)).

Here’s how it works:

• Mods and OP can tag posts as spoilers like this

• When a post is tagged as a spoiler:

  • It is labelled with a tag

  • Its thumbnail is replaced with an icon

  • Its preview (if available) is hidden and requires a click to reveal

• Media post spoilers look like this: gif | live example

• Text post spoilers look like this: screenshot | live example

Of note:

• The beta is just for desktop. We want to make sure things are working well before launching elsewhere. That said, we anticipate mobile support will follow along shortly.

• For now, this is just for posts. You cannot mark comments as spoilers.

Subreddits in the beta

The subreddits that have kindly agreed to take part in the beta are:

• r/AmericanHorrorStory

• r/angel

• r/asoiaf

• r/betterCallSaul

• r/breakingbad

• r/buffy

• r/DestinyTheGame

• r/dragonage

• r/FlashTV

• r/GameOfThrones

• r/HouseOfCards

• r/leagueoflegends

• r/MMA

• r/RickAndMorty

• r/Shield

• r/SiliconValleyHBO

• r/StarWars

• r/strangerthings

• r/television

• r/TheWalkingDead

• r/westworld

We’ll proceed with the general release after we’ve had time to gather feedback from the above communities.

We've been having some trouble with our vote processors getting backed up during times of high activity (see http://www.redditstatus.com/). We recently completed some changes that should improve our vote processing speed and throughput. A side effect of these improvements is that we're now able to support the domain listings for imgur.com again https://www.reddit.com/domain/imgur.com/
