What’s up, Reddit?
It’s officially March (what is time?[1]) and we’ve cooked up a bunch of fresh updates for y’all. Whether you want to learn about new supported languages or changes coming to Chat, dig into[2] the latest Reddit product news below.

In case you missed Monday’s announcement[3], you can now search comments *within* a post on desktop, iOS, and Android! You don’t have to “cmd-f” on the post page anymore and you can search comment threads without expanding them. Learn more about this exciting update and other search improvements here[4].
Reddit now supports Dutch, Swedish, and Canadian French for Android. We’ll be rounding out coverage for these languages to iOS, web, and more throughout 2023. Reddit should default to your phone’s language settings, but you can always access User Settings to change your language. If you’re curious about which other languages Reddit supports, please see here[5].

In the pursuit of empowering communities, we have been building a new Reddit chat (one-to-one and group chats) from the ground up. In the coming weeks, we’ll be gradually transitioning to a new chat infrastructure. And in the coming months, we look forward to building awesome features to improve your chat experience.
The transition will occur over several months. While our priority is to ensure a smooth transition, some Redditors may still experience temporary issues with chat during this process.
If you run into any issues with your chats during the transition, let us know in r/help and we’ll be happy to help further. You can also check out this help center article[6].

Thank you for bearing with us as we transition your chats to the new experience. Stay tuned to our Changelog posts for more updates!
iOS redditors with a Vault[7] (a digital wallet on Reddit) will now see their Vault in the side drawer and can access their Vault settings from there. They'll be able to view their Collectible Avatars, access their public Vault address and recovery phrase, change their Vault password, sign out of their Vault, and switch Vaults.

For those who aren’t familiar, Crowd Control[8] is a tool communities use to automatically collapse or filter comments and filter posts when things get tricky (for example, if someone engages in a community in bad faith).
8: https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038129231-Crowd-Control
As of last month and coming this month, mods will see new Crowd Control options available on the native apps. This means, among other changes, when viewing content in your community’s feed, mods will see the option to “Adjust Crowd Control” for that particular post. We’re excited to bring our most used community safety control to mobile, so mods can take necessary measures on a per-post basis with convenience and ease.
That’s Changelog for today, my friends. Questions? Feedback? Anything generally cool or interesting you found on Reddit and want to share (like this cool post[9] about egg prices in the US)? As always, feel free to holler in the comments below – we’ll be sticking around for a bit to respond.

Why does the android app is so slow when opening a post? I literally have to wait 3 to 4 seconds after tapping a post from the home screen. Is it only me? Or others are also facing this issue?

Actually a really useful, and under-rated feature. Honestly, whoever came up with this was a star, give them and the people who coded it a shoutout in their annual reviews, they 100% earned it.

Not something I'll use, but nice to hear it's been done, tis excellent news for the folks who will.

Woohoo, we've needed those bugs stamped out for a long time, I hate them and it makes modding using Reddit chats annoying.

They'll be able to view their Collectible Avatars, access their public Vault address and recovery phrase, change their Vault password, sign out of their Vault, and switch Vaults.
Ew, can you stop doubling down on gross crypto financial bubbles? NFTs are gross, they collectible Avaters fundamentally are NFTs by another name, we want free awards back, instead of the NFT nonsense. Much better for the environment as well.
As of last month and coming this month, mods will see new Crowd Control options available on the native apps.
I granted don't use Reddit on my mobile at all, I prefer having the keyboard and a large screen, but them again, I just don't really like using mobile internet very much. This all said, I keep hearing other mods constantly complain about the difficulties of modding on mobile and setting the mod tools. Is this something that's been brought up with focus groups in mod council? Imagine your data scientists can rattle off the figures about how many mods use mobile v.s PC etc better than I can, but it must be a pretty large proportion of traffic, so seems like an obvious thing to improve, such that you can mod on mobile equally as well as on PC. Heck, I know of at least one mod who didn't at one point even have a PC, and was having to mod exclusively on mobile, which doesn't sound easy (if a subreddit that had a lot of trolls or the like, imagine setting up a working automod on mobile)...

Concerning the new chat infrastructure - What will happen to already existing chats?
There are a few older chats that work as appendages to subs and are established communities. More and more people are no longer able to access those chats. The people who are effectively shut out are already looking for alternatives. And they are finding them on other plattforms.

Could you give some more details on this? I believe the existing chat was a sendbird instance. Is this new one all in house or are you switching to a different provider?
Is there any progress on not having two separate messaging frameworks and consolidating messages and chat? Not that I want messages to go away, as it stands they are much superior.
Will the new chat be available via the api? When the original chat was released many years ago, it was promised it would be available in the API, which would have been trivial to add since sendbird has an established API that could have simply been turned on. But it never was and so today all of my various bots, like u/RemindMeBot, have thousands of chat messages they can't reply to from users who don't know any better.

I’d like to see editing of “Titles of Posts”, I have so many typos in my titles, it’s just not right.
EDIT: I’d also like to see manual re-ordering of “Custom Feeds” & “Favourites”, at the mo it’s a mess, I’d like my favourites to flow, ie all Reddit Clients together, all Reddit feeds,eg: r/Reddit r/findareddit, r/NewtoReddit together, Apple based Reddits together & so on.

I don't care about any of this until you fix the spam notifications, and I suspect I'm not alone. I'd love to be able to have push notifications again.

Since today, while in a post, my phone's 'back' button closes the app. To exit the post without closing I need to reach all the way to the top of the phone and press the app's back button. Please rollback.

Not being able to block advertisement accounts is really bad. There is some personally negative ads that I do not like seeing so I block those, now clicking the username on ad just opens then ad on android. Really negative user experience

Why did the comments and share buttons move all close together on mobile? They’re smaller now too. I keep hitting the wrong one. Spread out worked better imo
