Hey everyone, u/Go_JasonWaterfalls here, Reddit’s VP of Community. Welcome to r/reddit! You’re in the right place for all sorts of updates, announcements, and news related to Reddit Inc. and the platform.

TL;DR Moving forward, the posts that you would normally read in admin communities such as r/blog, r/announcements, and r/changelog will be posted in this community instead.

Why the change?

Well, after hearing from you through surveys and comments in the communities themselves (thanks to those of you who took part), we learned that having lots of different admin-run communities that focus on a variety of niche topics (some of which overlap) can be confusing to navigate. This goes for us, too.

So we’ve decided to consolidate a number of our official communities and make r/reddit your one-stop shop to learn about what’s happening at Reddit. A few things we plan to share here:

• Content that previously lived in r/announcements, r/blog, and r/changelog, like new feature announcements, links to reports on transparency and safety, and special events and projects like Extra Life, Reddit Recap, the Snappening, and Up the Vote
• A broader range of information on different areas of Reddit (thanks to those of you who made this request, we think it’s a great one), plus AMAs with company leaders and other folks across Reddit. (Mods? Members of internal teams? Redditors doing interesting stuff? You tell us!)
• Reddit history and lore, data and research insights (anonymized of course), and stories about how y’all use Reddit

All good things...

While we’re ramping up a new space, that also means it’s time to wind down the old spaces in order to make sure we have One Place To Rule Them All. This means that r/announcements, r/blog, and r/changelog will be archived on February 24 as we wind this space up. Archived subreddits can still be fully viewed, but do not allow new posts or comments, so you’ll still be able to see the content in these spaces. That all said, we’re keeping r/shittychangelog so you can continue to laugh at our mistakes.

In addition, we’ll be archiving a few other spaces today, as they’ve fulfilled their purpose. We thank them for their work, and end their watch:

• r/​​subredditads
• r/community_chat
• r/goldbenefits
• r/redditchat

We also have communities like r/mobileweb, r/beta, and r/cssnews that we’re still mulling the future of. On one hand, the updates in these communities may be better suited to this new space (or even other spaces), however, we also recognize their value as community discussion centers. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Moderator-specific communities, like r/modnews and r/modsupport will not be affected by these changes, nor will r/help or r/bugs. r/modnews will continue to be the place we post updates specific to moderators, with r/modsupport as your place to get support. r/redditsecurity will still be the place to find things like our quarterly security reports and other safety-related efforts. We’ll also continue to monitor r/help and r/bugs for your feedback and bug reports.

We want r/reddit to be a community that you help shape. If you have suggestions for things you’d like to learn about, conversations you’d like to have, or anything else you think would be interesting or helpful, let us know in the comments. Some ideas to get you started:

• Experimental designs—Reddit design teams do a lot of conceptual work that’s more experimental. Wanna see it?
• This Week on Reddit—an overview of the top growing communities, popular topics, and community events, AMAs, and happenings across the platform.
• Wordle scores (#219 broke many a Reddit admin).

Thanks for being here; we can’t wait to hear your ideas.
