You can read more about Reddit’s latest UI update here. Hopefully, these additional changes will further refine Reddit’s vision. But right now, it’s all theoretical, with the only change being a minor tweak in the main UI.īut it seems like a good one? Again, it looks cleaner, and the focus here seems to be right. Custom Feeds (Multireddit): Custom feeds are special feeds made up of whatever subreddits the user wants, like extra frontpages.
Topic-based feeds could also be interesting, and could also help Reddit refine its ad targeting to specific audiences, if users align with that approach. Honestly, I don’t know why platforms feel the need to use cool lingo in their announcements, but yes, ‘smooth like buttah’ probably best sums up the aim of this new development push at the app. And also with high-quality that’s smooth like buttah
Feed Expansion - Providing more specific feeds to engage with (think Gaming, Sports, Politics, Beauty, etc.). Feed Architecture - Improving the way that you interact with and switch between various feeds on Reddit. The change is part of a broader re-think at Reddit as to how it can simplify and improve the user experience, which will also see it exploring updates in these areas: Others use Reddit for professional purposes, like the community with 6,100 members focused on journalism job openings, or /r/dataisbeautiful (15.6 million) focused on high-quality maps, charts, and graphs.So, given that most Redditors already swipe across to switch feeds, which is still available as an option, this, functionally, won’t change much, but it does make the app a little cleaner, with fewer options competing for attention on the main screen. Some subreddits are made of makers and doers - like amateur astrophotography - with 1.4 million members who love to take pictures of space- and /r/cookiedecorating (43.2k). Most, though, cover niche subjects like /r/Charcuterie (68.8k), /r/videogamescience (23.4k).įor journalists, thousands of local communities -as well as health and science communities-are especially useful for learning about issues of community interest. Many communities cover broad subjects- like /r/journalism (41.5k members) and /r/philosophy (15.6 million). 
That distinguishes it from platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn or YouTube, which tend to be more focused on notable people. Reddit is topic and community-based, not personality-driven. Check out one of my favorites, /r/todayilearned for a taste of the platform’s eclectic mix. More than 50 million people visit Reddit daily to read or comment in more than 100,000 communities.
