Welcome, redditors, to a new chapter of The Feed Read. As you may recall, this is an ongoing series about the changes, improvements, and updates coming to your Reddit feed. In this round, we’ll be talking about new features that will help you take control of your feed to give you the content you want, the way you want.

Simpler feed options

We made two changes on our mobile apps earlier this year to make feeds easier and simpler to use for both new redditors and those who have been here for a while:

• Added a drop-down menu of feeds, including Home, Popular and, News (iOS)
• Moved home feed sorting options into settings, since many redditors (especially new ones) didn’t use these options

Both these changes significantly increased how many posts redditors see in their home feeds. And we’re now announcing two more changes to further simplify feeds that will roll out starting today on iOS and early 2023 on Android.

1. Adding a “Latest” feed to the drop-down menu of feeds, which will allow you to view your content sorted by “new” and quickly stay up to date with what’s new in the communities you follow
2. Removing Home feed sort controls and defaulting Home to the “Best” sort

After looking at the numbers, our research showed that more than 99% of redditors use two sorts on their Home Feed: “Best” and “New.” This change will make it easier for you to get to sort options used the most—Home feed (sorted by best) and Latest feed (your home feed sorted by new).

Where to find your latest feed

The Latest Feed is the first of a few new feeds we plan to release in the upcoming year. People use Reddit in lots of different ways based on intent at time of use — some prefer in-depth reading, and others want a passive, relaxed watching experience. To cater to these moods, we’re working to make it possible to access feeds based on your browsing mode preference and to prioritize your preferred feeds for an easier feed switching experience. Stay tuned for updates!

Customizable and cleaner feed

The home feed is used today as an entry point to discover conversations, communities, and creators relevant to you. To make it better, we’re updating and building features that will give you a simpler, more customized in-feed browsing experience. Last month, the community muting feature was rolled out on iOS and Android mobile apps, which allows you to mute and unmute content from communities on your Home, Popular, and now Latest feeds. This will allow you to control what you do and don’t want to see on your feed. (Note: Muting a community doesn’t restrict you from visiting or taking part in it.) We are working on adding the option to mute communities on desktop, so stay tuned for more info there soon.

To help us improve the recommendations on your feed, remember that you can tap on the three-dot menu on the top right corner of the recommended post and let us know if you want us to “show more posts like this” or “show less posts like this” on your iOS or Android app or on reddit.com.

We’re also exploring ways to make content on Reddit easier to read. To achieve that, we’re changing the way posts display on select feeds on Android and iOS. We’re trying out a style that focuses more on the post content and less on elements that aren’t used by most redditors. Starting today, posts displayed in Home, Popular, and Latest feeds will not include awards, and the awards action will be in the three-dot menu.

These changes will only affect those three feeds, and the posts will look the same on the post detail and community pages.

That’s all we’ve got for now! Stay tuned for more in the coming months, as we keep working to improve and refine your Reddit feeds.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this post for a while, if you have questions and feedback about these changes. Got an idea for a specific feed you’d like to see us build next? Let us know in the comments below!
