“Because you visited…”

You might like to know there is a way to turn off these “because you visited this sub before” and “because you follow (sub)” posts in your feed.

Depending on the type of recommendation you are seeing, you can disable or hide them. If it's a suggested post, you can tap the three dots (...) post overflow menu located above the Join button and select "Disable recommendation" to remove these from your home feed. If it's under "Recommended for you" just tap the three dots (...) and select "show me less of this". Then, just refresh the app after disabling and they should no longer appear.

Other options to “hide” things on Reddit can be found in https://www.reddit.com/settings/notifications[1][2].

Unfortunately, there’s no way of getting rid of the “Discover”[3] tab (the ‘compass’ icon) on mobile which replaced the very useful ‘Square-Circle-Square-Magnifying Glass’[4] icon housing the Communities tab.

You might actually like to see random subreddit suggestions from time to time. Some methods of randomisation include:

Reddit will also randomise subs for you. r/all and r/popular are the first two ports of call, but if you want to let Snoo take you somewhere new, you should visit http://reddit.com/r/random[11][12]. Adding r/mistyfront to your feed will post random posts from random subreddits for you to enjoy, while r/serendipity is another meta-subreddit which takes a popular entry from a random subreddit and posts it for your consideration.
