![]() ![]() Gizmodo: I know you all are starting off with a “simple” design change, but there will be more changes to the feed going forward. You can read Gizmodo’s full Q&A with Dash below. It’s also a good reminder that social media platforms don’t need to try to be everything for users in order to be successful. ![]() I think that this will ensure that Redditors appreciate the new changes instead of grabbing their digital pitchforks. It’s nice to see a social media platform work hard to improve on what it does best - the Reddit feed - and what users already like instead of trying to copy other platforms (*cough* Instagram *cough*). “We want to ensure that every user has a unique experience that directly fits their needs, which is why we are starting with these changes,” Dash told Gizmodo via email. In an interview with Gizmodo, Suchit Dash, a vice president at Reddit in charge of discovery, which includes the feed and search, stressed that the social media platform wanted to give users more control over what they see and make Reddit more customisable. In addition, users will also be able to remove feeds based on their preferences. This means that, for example, a BTS fan like myself will be able to create a feed full of BTS-only content, basking in the glow of the seven group members, and not have to stumble upon the latest political kerfuffle from the world’s brilliant politicians. ![]() “Our hope is that these upcoming improvements to feeds on Reddit not only allow you to have a more customised and simplified Reddit experience, but also helps you discover and join even more relevant and engaging communities and conversations,” the social media platform wrote.įurthermore, in the “not-so-distant future,” users will be able to create their own feeds of personalised content. The company explained that, going forward, it will be making changes to the feed in three areas: feed architecture (how users interact and switch between feeds) feed expansion (more specific Reddit-provided feeds tailored to interests such as gaming, sports, and beauty) and feed performance (high quality feeds with fast loading times). Users will be able to switch between feeds by tapping on the drop-down menu and choosing the feed they want to browse. It’s a simple change, Reddit explained, and it will not change the way most users switch between the “Home,” “News,” and “Popular” feeds - by swiping left and right. Put away your digital pitchforks! It’s not a big change. It might have already appeared in your Reddit app, like it did on mine. You can check out what the change looks like in the GIF below. In other words, no cascade of countless videos you didn’t ask for and pictures of randos you don’t follow, unlike other platforms. Thankfully, though, the changes won’t be like Instagram.
