Hello redditors. I’m Pali, Reddit’s Chief Product Officer. I joined Reddit last fall and now that I’ve had some time to get settled, I’ll share a few of the things Reddit is working on this year.
Let me start with my motivation for joining Reddit—all of you. Everyone who works at Reddit, including me, has the distinct privilege of serving an incredibly passionate and thoughtful community of people. People who engage in authentic and meaningful conversations, whether it’s in communities like r/astrophotography[1] or r/cricket[2] (two of my favorites) or places like r/AskReddit[3], r/CasualUK[4], r/Eldenring[5], r/StarTrekMemes[6], or the open canvas and incredible diversity of r/place[7]. Together, these global communities have made Reddit *the* human face of the Internet. In my view, that's the magic of Reddit. And my team's mission is to do everything we can to ensure that the authentic, meaningful conversations that make Reddit what it is, continue to flourish as we bring Reddit to more people around the world.

To make that happen, this year the Reddit product team is focusing on empowering redditors and their communities. We’re prioritizing work around five key pillars—making Reddit Simple, Universal, Performant, Excellent, and Relevant—these pillars will help us make Reddit *SUPER*[8] for all of you.

What shapes the Reddit experience are the features and tools that people interact with every day—things like Reddit’s Home and Popular feeds, comment threads, search, or the moderation tools that keep communities running. Last year, we made huge strides toward improving search relevancy and front-end design[9], brought new moderation features to the mobile apps[10], iterated on custom avatars[11], and even had time for a few fun projects like our end-of-year Reddit Recap[12]. (Ngl, I’m really envious of everyone with more bananas[13] than me.)

But there are a lot of Reddit features that aren’t so easy to navigate. This year, we’re focusing on making Reddit easier and more intuitive by improving core features like onboarding, the home feed, post pages, search, and discussion threads.
At the beginning of this year, the new Discover[14] tab gave redditors an all-new way to find communities they might never stumble across in their Home feed or on r/popular, and last month comments on Reddit became searchable[15], making it easier for redditors to quickly find conversations. But this is just the beginning. Other efforts this year will focus on better curation of communities, new live spaces for events like AMAs or livestreams, and a simpler way for new redditors to explore posts and curated recommendations so they can find communities about things they care about faster.

Topic browsing within the new Discover tab
Another series of initiatives will focus on making posting easier. A few projects in the works include:

As Reddit continues to grow into a platform people use all over the world, our teams will focus on building global Reddit experiences that support redditors from a diverse set of locations and cultures.
We’ve been working with redditors and moderators from outside the U.S. to translate Reddit’s user interface, and have already made Reddit available in French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), and Spanish (Mexico and Spain). As we continue to streamline our localization process, Reddit will be translated into more languages. And we’re also testing using machine translations so people can get quick translations of posts in their own language.
Creating an experience that’s truly local means much more than translating user interfaces. That’s why we’re working with local teams to connect redditors to relevant local content and build communities that make sense for their location.
Providing geo-relevant community recommendations during sign up
Part of that includes partnering with local moderators to build experiences that are authentic to their communities and cultures. And another huge part is making sure that our safety operations and machine learning efforts take into account the cultural nuances and differences of each new location.
One consistent message from redditors has been that performance on the site and native apps could be better. We agree. That’s why the Reddit engineering team is working on making the Reddit platform faster and more reliable.
Last year, a major priority was improving feed load times (also known as Cold Start Latency) so that redditors could tap into their feeds and scroll through posts quickly, without waiting or watching little blue spinners tell them the page is loading. Because of those efforts, we saw drops in wait times across the board—iOS went down -11%, Android -19%, and the backend was down -25%. We also made improvements that reduced crashes and errors, resulting in a 64% reduction in downtime and a 97% reduction in background error rate.We’ll continue to invest in these sorts of latency and stability improvements, while also investing in a design system to componentize Reddit’s user interface (UI).
Another big factor in a webpage’s performance is how much stuff it loads. The number of requests for assets, the size of those assets, and how those assets are used are all good indicators of what sort of performance the site will generally have. Reddit’s current web platforms make a lot of requests and the payload sizes are high. This can make the site unwieldy and slow for redditors (especially in places that may already have slower internet service).
We’ve already begun work on unifying our web (what some of you call new Reddit) and mobile web clients to make them faster, clean up UX debt, and upgrade the underlying tech to a modern technology stack. (For those interested in such things, that stack is Lit element, Web Components, and Baseplate.js. And the core technology choice is server-side rendering using native web components, which allow for faster page loads.) Stay tuned, because we’ll be sharing more on these efforts later in the year, and there’s some exciting stuff on the way.
Some redditors prefer using Reddit’s older web platform, aptly named Old Reddit. TL;DR: There are no plans to get rid of Old Reddit. 60% of mod actions still happen on Old Reddit and roughly 4% of redditors as a whole use Old Reddit every day. Currently, we don’t roll out newer features like Reddit Talk on Old Reddit, but we do and will continue to support Old Reddit with updated safety features and bug fixes. Of course, supporting multiple platforms forever isn’t the ideal situation and one reason we’re working on unifying our web and mobile web clients is to lay the foundation for a highly-performant web experience that can continue supporting Reddit and its communities long into the future. But until we have a web experience that supports moderators (which includes feature parity), consistently loads and performs at high-levels, and (to put it simply) the vast majority or redditors love using, Old Reddit will continue to be around and supported.
Reddit’s always been about the conversation, and more and more people are having live multimedia conversations with audio and video. To make Reddit more *excellent*[19] for you, we’re creating new multimedia experiences that creative redditors can use to connect, host events, and hang out.
19: https://media.giphy.com/media/vMnuZGHJfFSTe/giphy.gif
Last year we piloted Reddit Talk[20] with a selection of interested moderators, and since then we’ve seen communities host a variety of live audio talks about everything from movie launches[21], and dad jokes[22] to audio dramatizations[23] and casual conversations within their community.

23: https://www.reddit.com/r/LOTR_on_Prime/comments/u1lq70
Live comments and audience interactions in Reddit Talk
While talks continue to catch on, we’ve rolled out new features[24] to support hosts, such as the ability to record talks, a web experience, and listener reactions. After chatting with moderators[25] who have hosted talks as well as redditors who attended them, we’re focusing on improving the audio itself, letting moderators add approved hosts[26], and letting individuals host talks outside of communities from their profiles.
26: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/ulyqgq/adding_approved_hosts_to_reddit_talk_in_your/
All over Reddit, communities are participating in real-time conversations. Whether it’s gameday threads during Champions League matches, heated debates during the recent NFL draft[27], or discussions about a favorite TV show’s recent finale—across Reddit, communities are using comment threads to communicate around live events related to their interests. To support this, we’ll be focusing on improving and expanding how chat works on the site. We’re also working with moderators towards building out live chat posts within communities. This will give redditors new ways to engage, ranging from persistent general discussions, talks, and Q&As within communities, to more ephemeral chats that take place during live sporting events, breaking news, album releases, and more.
27: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/ue7s60/2022_nfl_draft_day_1_discussion_thread_spoilers/
Live chat posts within communities
In 2021, redditors got a set of new camera tools[28] that included the ability to flip the camera or set a timer for recording, and editing tools like the ability to clip videos, add text, and export videos. Now we’re continuing to improve media posting and recently made updates to our image editing tools by adding the ability to crop, rotate, or markup images with text, stickers, or drawings.
28: https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/svo77h/updates_on_reddit_talk_mod_tools_image_editing/
Markup and editing video creation tools
Of course, adding new creation tools is just one piece of the puzzle. This year we’ll also focus on the back-end so that videos and images on Reddit load faster and more seamlessly. Which brings me to my next topic…
As we’ve talked about before[30], we know the video player is still a work in progress. We’ve heard your feedback and are working on a series of updates to address it:
29: https://media.giphy.com/media/1zk6v7m1Rz8ifqSH0C/giphy.gif
30: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/owjcoq/addressing_the_new_video_player/
In 2021, improvements to Reddit’s feeds, such as the update to the default “Best” sort[31], helped more redditors discover and join new communities. From increased post views and comments, to a greater number of smaller subreddits seeing growth in subscriptions; using Machine Learning (ML) to improve recommendation algorithms[32] has helped connect redditors to the communities and content they enjoy.
31: https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/o5tjcn/evolving_the_best_sort_for_reddits_home_feed/
Something we talk a lot about in-house at Reddit but haven’t talked much about publicly before, is that the vast majority of people come to Reddit with intention, not for attention. That mindset translates to a lot of our projects, but while working on ML, it means we evolve our algorithms and recommendation engines[33] in a way that doesn’t merely optimize for engagement and attention, but for value—the value Reddit’s content brings to individual redditors and their communities (both on-platform and in real life).
Reddit is powered by communities, and our algorithms are no different. Reddit runs on votes, and people see things on Reddit because they vote on them. An upvote or a downvote is an explicit signal that gives us constant and immediate feedback from the community. This year we’ll continue to improve this community-driven model by incorporating more signals (both positive and negative), exploring more ways redditors can give direct feedback (such as “show me more/less of this”), and adding tests to better understand how different aspects of the model affect redditors’ experience.
Community-driven signals in feed recommendations
To see the plans above come to fruition and to make Reddit truly SUPER[34], our moderation and safety tools will also continue to evolve.
34: https://media.giphy.com/media/3ohs7S33U5cM3OSyL6/giphy.gif
Safety is foundational to everything we do and build at Reddit. As was outlined in our recently published 2021 Safety & Security Report[35], admins removed 108,626,408 pieces of content last year (27% increase YoY), the bulk of which was for spam and content manipulation (which is commonly referred to as vote manipulation and brigading). We also made updates to features that redditors have long asked for including blocking improvements[36], the ability to view and manage your followers[37], and a new system that auto-tags content as NSFW.

37: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/mz36uf/adding_the_ability_to_view_and_manage_whos/
Looking ahead, we’ll focus on safety efforts in two main areas:
Moderators are a critical piece of the Reddit ecosystem, and a critical part of our job as a development team is supporting them by making moderating on Reddit as easy and efficient as possible. In 2018 we introduced the Mod Council[38]—an opportunity for mods and admins to have a two-way, ongoing dialog about features in development. Another important initiative is our Adopt-an-Admin[39] program, where Reddit employees help moderate communities in order to better understand the mod experience first-hand. Most recently, we kicked off a series of Mod Summits to provide additional forums for feedback and conversation—and had over 600 mods join us to share their experiences at our last summit in March.
38: https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415446939917-Reddit-Mod-Council-
39: https://mods.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/4421932319501-Adopt-an-Admin
These ongoing conversations and programs have transformed the way we build and develop mod tools. And as someone who came to Reddit late last year, I was extremely impressed by the deep knowledge and expertise our moderators bring to the way we build products.
One recent project to come out of those conversations is a feature moderators have long asked for, Mod Notes[40]. Launched on the web last month, Mod Notes allows mods to leave notes with reminders for themselves and others about people’s actions in their community. Another feature we continue to iterate and expand with mod feedback, Crowd Control, has now been adopted by over 900 communities. And features we’re currently still working with moderators on include bringing removal reasons and Mod Notes to mobile and mod queue enhancements such as the ability to sort in new ways.
40: https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/t8vafc/announcing_mod_notes/
Another important mod initiative is our work focused on addressing mod harassment—pre-empting harassment where we can and making it easier to report when it occurs. Last year, the team focused on tools to reduce harassment in modmail, direct messages, chat, and custom reports. Now we’re building on this work by focusing on three main areas:
1. **Prevention**: Exploring tiered engagement permissions with features such as Crowd Control or approved users, as well as ways to better identify and handle ban evasions.
2. **Escalation**: Expanding reporting coverage to make reporting easier and more efficient.
3. **Responsiveness**: Improving how long it takes admins to respond to reports by streamlining our in-house tools to help our agents quickly and accurately make more informed decisions. This is work that will not only help mods, but also all redditors who are reporting policy violating content, and something we think will have a big impact on making the site safer.
There are also a few projects in the works we’ll be sharing more about in the months ahead:
Late last year, we started experimenting with the idea of Community Funds[41]—a program to help financially support community-driven projects that showcase the creative, collaborative, and generous spirit of redditors all around the world. During the pilot phase, we provided 13 communities with over $60,000 in funding that they used to host a comics tournament,[42] hold a r/askhistorians digital conference[43], create a community-designed billboard in Times Square[44], and much more. We recently announced that we’re pledging $1 million toward the Community Funds Program[45] to fund even more ideas. Through these funds, we want to continue empowering redditors to positively impact the world around them through the power of their communities. I can’t wait to see what the community comes up with.

There are a lot of passionate developers making great tools redditors and moderators use on the platform every day. Supporting and working with these developers will only make Reddit more extensible and make using Reddit better for everyone. This year, we’re exploring ways to support the creativity of third-party developers as they expand on the Reddit experience, while safeguarding the security and privacy of people on the platform.
Since launching avatars, we’ve enjoyed seeing redditors use this fun, simple tool to represent who they are. The next step is exploring more ways redditors can make their avatar their own by making it easy to create your own gear, finding fun ways to represent redditors contributions, and giving people greater control over their avatar and online identity—even beyond Reddit.
As I wrap this up, I want to say that this year is an exciting year for Reddit. We have an opportunity to bring Reddit to more people, and there’s a significant amount of responsibility in evolving a platform that’s become a home to so many people and communities. As stewards of this platform built and loved by all of you, we take that responsibility seriously—but it’s really you, the Reddit community, who will determine what Reddit is and what it will be.

Can you fix the new block feature? Currently it's being horribly abused to prevent disagreement in conversations, and that then preventing you from not only ever replying to the person that blocked but never being able to even reply to replies to them at any point in the future is awful.
You should be able to reply to people that have blocked you and they just shouldn't be notified or even see your message (unless they choose to).
For example here. I made a comment somewhere that someone disagreed with, so they responded to attack me and then immediately blocked so I couldn't respond at all. Now when new Pokemon news comes out, I can't even reply to a ton of comments in the thread because of some guy that I had never actually talked to in my life. How is this fair or promoting discussion in any way?

I still don't understand how the changes you made to blocking are improvements. From my point of view, it's completely backward.
If a person "blocks" me, they can still see my content, but I can't see theirs (I can actually on old reddit, but not on their profile). Also if a person "blocks" me, I can't reply to any children or sub-children of any of their comments.
What this means is that anyone can make a controversial post and immediately block anyone who posts a dissenting opinion. This will **completely** stop the blocked person from participating in the conversation, while the block*er* is still free to reply to the existing comments and control the narrative. And all the while they'll still see all the things that they supposedly "blocked".
You didn't fix blocking, you turned it into a bad mute function. I don't understand what your goal is with these changes, or what problem you're trying to solve. You know that anyone can open someone else's profile in incognito and see everything, right? These changes don't seem to solve anything at all.

4% of redditors as a whole use Old Reddit every day.
This is utterly shocking to me.
Are there any plans to allow “new Reddit” the same level of customization power that “old Reddit” has? It’s very cool being able to go into a subreddit and see how that community has designed its own page!
It makes Reddit feel bigger, makes Reddit feel more accessible, makes Reddit feel more personal, and makes it feel more relevant to the individual community.

Highlighting a community’s post requirements and making it clear what post types are and aren’t allowed in different communities.
This sounds like it has promise.
I would really love it if the admins could find a way to get the users more informed on the overall rules of the whole website, as well as getting them to take a look at the subreddit rules at least briefly before first participating there.
Just spitballing, but maybe some kind of relatively easy quiz/test thing that only really just ensures a basic level of awareness of the sitewide rules and polices, at least.
It's really frustrating to get people spamming off-topic content and then acting entirely confused when it's removed. Or when we get used as tech support because the official app is so buggy that users can't figure out how to post, or do other things. Better error messages such as "this subeddit doesn't allow crossposting" or "this subreddit doesn't allow video" as opposed to what feels like a place-holder error message of "Oops, something went wrong" next to a shrugging snoo.
I think if you could figure out a way to raise the overall "reddit literacy" of the participating users here, it would go a long way toward improving the experience for everyone.

Safety and harassment isn’t handled well at all and is so arbitrary to the point of being useless. 3 exact same comments telling me to end my life all get reported, 2 of them came back with the default BS “we’ve found that the reported content doesn’t violate Reddit’s Content Policy” and only ONE came back with a successful violation and removal.
Clearly the people handling these don’t even know their own site’s rules.
Edit: Ironically someone nice awarded me *and* I got someone one else telling me to off myself[1] at the same time, the universe do be funny in balancing good and bad like that.

###Working with third-party developers
There are a lot of passionate developers making great tools redditors and moderators use on the platform every day. Supporting and working with these developers will only make Reddit more extensible and make using Reddit better for everyone. This year, we’re exploring ways to support the creativity of third-party developers as they expand on the Reddit experience, while safeguarding the security and privacy of people on the platform.
I was one of the third party developers who was worked with (just a little bit) on this and I must say I'm very excited to see what's coming. Every major platform that openly supports third party developers and integrations has massively benefited from it. Discord and twitch are two excellent examples of places where bots and other integrations greatly enhanced the experience of the site and wouldn't have been possible without the close cooperation between the company and passionate community developers. I hope this turns out the same for reddit.

So, not planning to do anything about the swarm of user-impersonating bots then?
This is such a trivial problem that users with no knowledge of the backend can spot it: a bot scans the thread for a highly upvoted comment and comments the same thing. This allows bots to accumulate a legitimate looking comment history and age, and by parroting legitimate looking activity they can engage in vote manipulation, spam referral product links, plant malware links, astroturf product promotion, or engage in other coordinated inauthentic activity in between legitimate looking mimicked comments.
I feel like this should be a priority, and really isn’t.

Regarding the translation, please make it optional. I’d hate to have to click “see original” in every single post that I want to read in it’s original language.

A significant amount of this is Safeguarding/Supporting reddit communities and providing moderator tools.
Our community has been the victim of block abuse, and its forcing us to speculatively ban users for blocking other users to manipulate the narrative and causing users we value in our community to leave, as they become less and less able to participate in discussion. It's been pointed out multiple times that your blocking 'improvements' have caused serious issues in many communities.
Are there any plans to introduce tools so that moderators can moderate accurately against this type of abuse? I understand you have no intention of reverting the change to blocking.
