View submission: Making Redditing Simpler

New content-aware feeds

Are these replacing the home feed? I hope not because the separation seems a bit arbitrary. Videos and images could be used in discussion-based communities and text posts could be used for image and video content when added inline.

Also, where do image posts fit in? I assume they don't fall under Read or Watch?

This year, we’re getting rid of some of the clutter that doesn’t add to your experience on Reddit. By cleaning up the interface, we hope to make it easier and faster for you to find the content you’re looking for and contribute to the communities you care about.

I'm not a fan of making the banner smaller and hiding the community about/menu even further. It's already difficult enough, mostly because it can only be accessed from the community level.

Coming soon, we’ll introduce our updated web platform – which will make Reddit faster and more reliable – and changes to the video player that will let you have conversations while watching. We’re also looking forward to telling you about chat enhancements, new storefront updates, and more.

I look forward to the coming announcements!

Notice how they used the regular iPhone 14 mockup for that example but the iPhone 14 Pro for all the other ones. The community banner would be covered up *even more* with the "Dynamic Island" cutout. The design is quickly reaching the point where there is no safe space to ensure content visibility in the banner.
