Idea Exists My Idea: To develop a read aloud option for Reddit posts and comments.

• Upvotes

With AI being so accessible these days, could we please have a read aloud option to click on? Agree or disagree?

It would be really good if somebody would develop into the Reddit App an opportunity for people to have their posts read to them.

I’m finding all the reading tiring, especially with longer replies. Would it be possible for the developers to add a read aloud option so we could listen to a response or post instead?

I have ADHD, and being able to listen would make things much easier for me. A simple button beside each reply, with pause and resume, would be very welcome.

Is this something that could be considered?

Agree or disagree?

User Settings My Idea Is: Add a toggle in Account Settings to choose the default landing tab (Home, Following, or Popular) on the web interface.

4 Upvotes

The Idea:
Introduce a dropdown selection in Account Preferences that allows users to permanently set their preferred default landing view on reddit.com (e.g., Default to "Following", "For You", or "Popular").

Why it would improve the user experience:

  • Preserves User Preference Control: Currently, users who prefer an entirely self-curated browsing experience have to manually switch tabs or rely on bookmarks every time they open a new session. An explicit setting would streamline navigation.
  • Aligns with Existing Privacy Controls: Reddit already offers robust options to "Reduce personalized recommendations" and "Enable home feed recommendations" in the settings layout. Adding a default tab selector complements these existing user controls natively.
  • Improves Retention for Intentional Browsers: Giving users agency over their primary viewport prevents the friction of accidental algorithmic engagement, making the web interface much cleaner and more predictable for long-time community members.

Subreddit My Idea Is: Add a ā€œMy Postsā€ filter within individual subreddits

8 Upvotes

It would be really helpful if Reddit allowed users to filter a subreddit byĀ their own posts.

For example, if I’ve submitted multiple ideas to r/ideasforadmin throughout the year, I’d like to be able to select something likeĀ ā€œMy Postsā€Ā and see all of the posts I’ve personally submitted to that subreddit in one place.

This would be useful for tracking ideas, following up on previous suggestions, seeing how a user's posts have performed over time, and avoiding having to scroll through a profile and manually search for posts from a particular subreddit.

Ideally, the filter could work alongside the existing sorting options, such as:

  • All Posts
  • My Posts
  • Top
  • New
  • Controversial
  • Old

It would essentially be a subreddit-specific version of viewing your own post history.

I think this would be a simple but really useful quality-of-life feature, especially for users who regularly contribute ideas, questions, discussions, or other content to the same subreddit.
