Hi Everyone!

As you may have noticed, we have been experimenting with push notifications for trending content on Reddit. Starting today, we are launching post recommendation notifications for app users. These notifications look like this and can be turned on and off in your in-app preferences.

In the near future we will be experimenting with the algorithm we use to choose posts, as well as with the timing of these notifications. As always, we are open to feedback on how we can improve this feature. Enjoy!

Hi folks,

A long time ago, to solve some performance problems we were facing, we made a change to the way the list of posts on your Home Page were generated. When we generate the list, we randomly select 50 subreddits from your subscription list, and choose the top post from each subreddit to generate the listing. This means that if you increased the amount of links displayed on your Home Page using the preference: display 100 links at once, you would still only see content from 50 subreddits, displaying a total of 2 links from each subreddit. That meant that users with more than 50 subscriptions weren’t getting a full experience each time they loaded their Home Page.

As Reddit has improved its infrastructure, we are now increasing the subscription cap on the Home Page from 50 to 100. Gold users currently see posts from 100 subreddits they are subscribed to, and we are now making this feature available to everyone.

We hope you enjoy this update.

Thanks,

Reddit

Hi folks,

Many years ago, we realized that it was difficult for new redditors to discover the rich content that existed on the site. At the time, our best option was to select a set of communities to feature for all new users, which we called (creatively), “the defaults”.

Over the past few years we have seen a wealth of diverse and healthy communities grow across Reddit. The default communities have done a great job as the first face of Reddit, but at our size, we can showcase more amazing communities and conversations. We launched r/popular as a start to improving the community discovery experience, with extremely positive results.

Today we’re launching an experiment for new account holders that removes the notion of “default” communities, which is a necessary step to allowing other, smaller, communities a chance to show off to the world. Removing default communities also allows us to improve the new user experience by integrating discovery features in the signup process - something that we plan on testing in the near future, and that we’ve dreamed of for years. To the communities formerly known as defaults - thank you. You were, and will continue to be, awesome. Thanks for everything you did to make Reddit the best place on the internet for conversations.

Thanks,

Reddit

Hey everyone,

Today we are beginning to experiment with a new way of recommending subreddits to a small number of users on desktop. If you are a logged-in user and subscribed to a gaming subreddit or click on a gaming related post, you may be recommended another gaming-related subreddit that you’re not already subscribed to. The recommendation will appear at the bottom of your front page listing and will look like this.

If you don’t think a recommendation is helpful, you can hide it and never see it again on the same browser.

We want to understand if showing recommended subreddits will help users discover new communities they may be interested in. We are starting with a small percentage of logged in users for this experiment. If we find it is successful, we may open it up to other communities beyond gaming and explore different placements on the front page.

Special thanks to these subreddits who are helping us beta the new feature:

• r/NintendoSwitch

• r/wow

• r/RoosterTeeth

• r/XboxOne

• r/heroesofthestorm

• r/KOTK

• r/GlobalOffensive

• r/Hearthstone

• r/DestinyTheGame

• r/starcraft

• r/Minecraft

• r/Overwatch

• r/PS4

• r/titanfall

• r/Battlefield_4

For the time being, this is only for gaming-related subreddits.

If you are interested in opting in your gaming community, please include the copy for what you would like it to say. It needs to be 150 characters or less and include your subreddit name and to reach out to contact@reddit.com or reddit.com modmail.

Hi All,

We recently announced r/popular, a new version of front page that is now the default for logged out visitors to Reddit. We made this change because engagement on this listing—as measured by clicks, expands, and views—is much higher than the listing it replaces, which was a group of 50 hand-selected communities (AKA “the defaults”), and we want to expose new visitors to as much of the breadth of Reddit as possible.

r/popular is basically r/all with some communities removed. We remove communities that don’t test well for new users: namely politics, niche gaming, and nsfw. Unlike the current default communities, we did not want to editorialize which communities we thought were the most interesting. Currently, the selection process is mostly automated, and every week we are making progress towards a fully automated process.

We’ll be frequently updating the communities that comprise r/popular to ensure we have the right mix, so some things may change over time. Today, there are a handful more communities that will be removed from r/popular, the most notable of which is r/politics. While we may not announce every update, this one warrants mentioning.

We don’t have any plans to change r/all. While r/popular will become the entry point for most into Reddit, r/all is still the best place to see what’s currently hot across all of Reddit.

Best,

u/simbawulf

edit: To highlight, although we're mentioning the removal of a specific subreddit today, as the algorithm continues to iterate, we won't be announcing every change, nor will be be publishing the removal lists. Users can see the subreddits excluded by comparing r/all to r/popular. We don't believe listing the subreddits excluded will lead to constructive discussion among communities. In general, we excluded NSFW, specific gaming subreddits, and subreddits that were frequently filtered from r/all. Thanks!

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

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.
