This guidance is subject to significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the risk factors discussed in Reddit’s reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Therefore, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance measures to their corresponding U.S. GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort.\n\n**Forward-Looking Statements**\n\nThis communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Reddit's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as \"may,\" \"will,\" \"should,\" \"expects,\" \"plans,\" \"anticipates,\" \"going to,\" \"could,\" \"intends,\" \"target,\" \"projects,\" \"contemplates,\" \"believes,\" \"estimates,\" \"predicts,\" \"potential\" or \"continue\" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Reddit's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s priorities, plans with respect to the share repurchase program, future financial and operating performance, including evolution of machine translation, international growth strategies to increase content consumption and improve local user experience, consumer product strategy with respect to growth and engagement, the integration of AI in Reddit search, the launch of Max campaigns, GAAP and non-GAAP guidance, strategies, and expectations of growth. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is set forth in our letter to shareholders. Reddit's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents that Reddit files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including Reddit’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is being filed with the SEC at or around the date hereof.

Reddit undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements or estimates, except as required by applicable law.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure can be found on pages 11-12.\n(2)We have not provided a reconciliation to the forward-looking U.S. GAAP equivalent measures for our non-GAAP guidance due to uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items. Therefore, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP guidance measures to their corresponding U.S. GAAP guidance measures is not available without unreasonable effort.\nForward-Looking Statements\nThis communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Reddit's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as \"may,\" \"will,\" \"should,\" \"expects,\" \"plans,\" \"anticipates,\" \"going to,\" \"could,\" \"intends,\" \"target,\" \"projects,\" \"contemplates,\" \"believes,\" \"estimates,\" \"predicts,\" \"potential\" or \"continue\" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Reddit's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s priorities, plans with respect to the share repurchase program, future financial and operating performance, including evolution of machine translation, international growth strategies to increase content consumption and improve local user experience, consumer product strategy with respect to growth and engagement, the integration of AI in Reddit search, the launch of Max campaigns, GAAP and non-GAAP guidance, strategies, and expectations of growth. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is set forth in our letter to shareholders. Reddit's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents that Reddit files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including Reddit’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is being filed with the SEC at or around the date hereof. The forward-looking statements in this communication are based on information available to Reddit as of the date hereof, and Reddit undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.\nEdit: formatting" richtextMedia: - __typename: VideoAsset id: yg6vq97woqhg1 mimetype: video/mp4 width: 1920 height: 1080 dashUrl: >- https://v.redd.it/link/1qwxntg/asset/yg6vq97woqhg1/DASHPlaylist.mpd?f=hd%2CsubsAll%2ChlsSpecOrder&v=1&a=1775301065%2CYmZkNDkzYjdhY2UyOTZkMWUxMDE2ZGI3OTU4YmViZDFjN2Y0ZmQ3ZjNjYzgxYTk5MzMzYWNhZGUyOGQ0Mzk3MA%3D%3D hlsUrl: >- https://v.redd.it/link/1qwxntg/asset/yg6vq97woqhg1/HLSPlaylist.m3u8?f=hd%2CsubsAll%2ChlsSpecOrder&v=1&a=1775301065%2CMzE0ZDcwYWZmMjIwNWZiYmI0ODE5YjY0YmU4ZTZiMjY5M2I5ZDQ2YTczZmJlZjU4NWFmYTA1NDBmMmMzMWE5Yw%3D%3D - __typename: ImageAsset id: 1qtx8w7yoqhg1 mimetype: image/png width: 1444 height: 1030 status: VALID url: https://i.redd.it/1qtx8w7yoqhg1.png preview: >- Hi redditors, We announced Reddit’s Q4 and Full Year 2025 Earnings results.

What began as an alternative to traditional media came into its own as an alternative to social media, and now that AI is everywhere, our aim is to keep Reddit the most human place on the internet. No matter what platforms or technology are trending, we’ve always strived to be a more authentic antidote.\n\nOver the years, Reddit’s been stereotyped in all sorts of ways: shaving-challenged basement dwellers, keyboard warriors with too much time on their hands, or—more accurately—the funniest, most interesting, and helpful people on the internet. Take your pick. I’ve never liked the idea of a Reddit hivemind or archetype because Reddit’s not one thing. It never has been. Though I admit it’s always had a certain *vibe*, today even that is entirely dependent on which subreddits you hang out in.\n\nFor a long while, we were known as the “front page of the internet,” but we’ve outgrown a singular front page for everyone. You have different interests than I do, and your Reddit should look different from mine. And from your neighbor’s, or your coworker’s, or your best friend’s. Whether you’re in a community of fellow [first-time parents](https://www.reddit.com/R/NEWPARENTS), aspiring [solo travelers](https://www.reddit.com/r/solotravel/), fans of your favorite [reality show](https://www.reddit.com/r/BravoRealHousewives/), or people who run [ultra-marathons](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultramarathon/), Reddit is home to all of it.\_\n\nWhich brings us to r/popular, the default feed for new users. In theory, it’s what’s most popular on Reddit, but it’s actually what is *liked* by the most active users on Reddit—which is not the same thing. Having it as a default feed gives the false impression of a singular Reddit culture, one that is neither representative of Reddit nor appealing to new users (or anyone at all, IMO). Which is why, in the near future, we'll stop showing it to new users, and unless you read it regularly, we’ll remove it from the core group of feeds in the app.\_\n\nSaid more directly: r/popular sucks, and we’re moving away from it, and towards better, more relevant and personalized feeds.\n\nWe’re one platform, yes, but with many minds (at least more than one). One of my favorite aspects of Reddit is that every community has its own culture, rules, and sense ([or lack](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/)) of humor. We are a constantly evolving ecosystem where anyone, anywhere, can connect on almost any topic or belief. And if your perspective isn’t represented, you can create the community you want to see. The freedom to build your own corner of the internet is what makes Reddit, Reddit.\n\nOn Reddit, no strongly held worldview exists unchallenged. For every earnest subreddit, there is a vibrant and more funny circlejerk counterpart lurking in the shadows. That balance—and sometimes tension—reflects how the world actually is.\n\n![img](0jnmifl1115g1)\n\n![img](3vv3euy2115g1)\n\nMore people are visiting Reddit than ever before—116 million every day. And when I look at the top-visited communities, it’s not surprising to see that they are (mostly) coming here to laugh, ask questions, judge, and generally be entertained. \n\n\n|Subreddit|Weekly Visitors|\n|:-|:-|\n|AskReddit|15,460,341|\n|whatisit|10,950,600|\n|mildlyinfuriating|10,230,061|\n|interestingasfuck|9,526,443|\n|NoStupidQuestions|8,232,847|\n|pics|6,833,698|\n|PeterExplainsTheJoke|6,827,023|\n|mildlyinteresting|6,658,098|\n|AmIOverreacting|6,537,219|\n|TikTokCringe|6,300,278|\n|CringeTikToks|6,282,550|\n|popculturechat|6,006,960|\n|nextfuckinglevel|5,880,113|\n|explainitpeter|5,740,741|\n|Damnthatsinteresting|5,572,937|\n|movies|5,352,666|\n|todayilearned|5,007,263|\n|MadeMeSmile|5,007,046|\n|LivestreamFail|4,807,041|\n|news|4,724,411|\n\n*Top 20 SFW subreddits by weekly active visitors, as of November 20, 2025.*\n\nReddit thrives when its communities are unique. That’s why we empower them to make their own rules (on top of [ours](https://redditinc.com/policies/reddit-rules)) and grow the way they want to. But distinct communities require distinct leaders. A situation where someone moderates an unlimited number of massive communities is not that, which is why we’re making a few changes.\n\nNamely, we’re [limiting](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1pbkqbu/an_update_on_limits_for_hightraffic_communities/) the number of high-traffic communities any single person can moderate. This is a major shift with a lot of nuance, so we're not rushing. We’re focused on helping all affected mods and communities through the transition, which you can read about in detail [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/1ncn0go/evolving_moderation_on_reddit_reshaping_boundaries/).\n\nRelatedly, you may have noticed that we updated how we display community size. We switched from Subscribers—which was really just a measure of age—to Weekly Visitors to reflect actual activity. (And if you really miss subscribers, you can add them back with [this](https://developers.reddit.com/apps/subscriber-count) devvit app.)\n\nThese changes are all part of the same goal: making Reddit more conducive to how people actually use it today.\n\nReddit is for everyone because it’s built by everyone. We’re a vibrant city of coffee shops, nightclubs, arenas, and yes, a few weird basements (neckbeard not required). Sure, you can come here to argue, but like in real life, most people come here to connect. We want to help you do more of that.\n\nThank you to all of you who make Reddit what it is and what it can be next.\n\nSee you next year,\n\nu/spez\n\n\n\nedit: table editor needs some work." richtext: >- {"document":[{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"Hi everyone,"}],"e":"par"},{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"The end of the year is as good a time as any for reflection, and lately, I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about what makes Reddit special."}],"e":"par"},{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"When we started this site 20 years ago (AKA Very, Very Old Reddit), the goal was pretty simple: create a space where people could talk about interesting things they found on the internet.

No matter what platforms or technology are trending, we’ve always strived to be a more authentic antidote.\nOver the years, Reddit’s been stereotyped in all sorts of ways: shaving-challenged basement dwellers, keyboard warriors with too much time on their hands, or—more accurately—the funniest, most interesting, and helpful people on the internet. Take your pick. I’ve never liked the idea of a Reddit hivemind or archetype because Reddit’s not one thing. It never has been. Though I admit it’s always had a certain vibe, today even that is entirely dependent on which subreddits you hang out in.\nFor a long while, we were known as the “front page of the internet,” but we’ve outgrown a singular front page for everyone. You have different interests than I do, and your Reddit should look different from mine. And from your neighbor’s, or your coworker’s, or your best friend’s. Whether you’re in a community of fellow first-time parents, aspiring solo travelers, fans of your favorite reality show, or people who run ultra-marathons, Reddit is home to all of it.\_\nWhich brings us to r/popular, the default feed for new users. In theory, it’s what’s most popular on Reddit, but it’s actually what is liked by the most active users on Reddit—which is not the same thing. Having it as a default feed gives the false impression of a singular Reddit culture, one that is neither representative of Reddit nor appealing to new users (or anyone at all, IMO). Which is why, in the near future, we'll stop showing it to new users, and unless you read it regularly, we’ll remove it from the core group of feeds in the app.\_\nSaid more directly: r/popular sucks, and we’re moving away from it, and towards better, more relevant and personalized feeds.\nWe’re one platform, yes, but with many minds (at least more than one). One of my favorite aspects of Reddit is that every community has its own culture, rules, and sense (or lack) of humor. We are a constantly evolving ecosystem where anyone, anywhere, can connect on almost any topic or belief. And if your perspective isn’t represented, you can create the community you want to see. The freedom to build your own corner of the internet is what makes Reddit, Reddit.\nOn Reddit, no strongly held worldview exists unchallenged. For every earnest subreddit, there is a vibrant and more funny circlejerk counterpart lurking in the shadows. That balance—and sometimes tension—reflects how the world actually is.\nMore people are visiting Reddit than ever before—116 million every day. And when I look at the top-visited communities, it’s not surprising to see that they are (mostly) coming here to laugh, ask questions, judge, and generally be entertained. \nSubreddit\nWeekly Visitors\nAskReddit\n15,460,341\nwhatisit\n10,950,600\nmildlyinfuriating\n10,230,061\ninterestingasfuck\n9,526,443\nNoStupidQuestions\n8,232,847\npics\n6,833,698\nPeterExplainsTheJoke\n6,827,023\nmildlyinteresting\n6,658,098\nAmIOverreacting\n6,537,219\nTikTokCringe\n6,300,278\nCringeTikToks\n6,282,550\npopculturechat\n6,006,960\nnextfuckinglevel\n5,880,113\nexplainitpeter\n5,740,741\nDamnthatsinteresting\n5,572,937\nmovies\n5,352,666\ntodayilearned\n5,007,263\nMadeMeSmile\n5,007,046\nLivestreamFail\n4,807,041\nnews\n4,724,411\nTop 20 SFW subreddits by weekly active visitors, as of November 20, 2025.\nReddit thrives when its communities are unique. That’s why we empower them to make their own rules (on top of ours) and grow the way they want to. But distinct communities require distinct leaders. A situation where someone moderates an unlimited number of massive communities is not that, which is why we’re making a few changes.\nNamely, we’re limiting the number of high-traffic communities any single person can moderate. This is a major shift with a lot of nuance, so we're not rushing. We’re focused on helping all affected mods and communities through the transition, which you can read about in detail here.\nRelatedly, you may have noticed that we updated how we display community size. We switched from Subscribers—which was really just a measure of age—to Weekly Visitors to reflect actual activity. (And if you really miss subscribers, you can add them back with this devvit app.)\nThese changes are all part of the same goal: making Reddit more conducive to how people actually use it today.\nReddit is for everyone because it’s built by everyone. We’re a vibrant city of coffee shops, nightclubs, arenas, and yes, a few weird basements (neckbeard not required). Sure, you can come here to argue, but like in real life, most people come here to connect. We want to help you do more of that.\nThank you to all of you who make Reddit what it is and what it can be next.\nSee you next year,\nu/spez\nedit: table editor needs some work." richtextMedia: - __typename: ImageAsset id: 0jnmifl1115g1 mimetype: image/png width: 777 height: 788 status: VALID url: https://i.redd.it/0jnmifl1115g1.png - __typename: ImageAsset id: 3vv3euy2115g1 mimetype: image/png width: 777 height: 583 status: VALID url: https://i.redd.it/3vv3euy2115g1.png preview: >- Hi everyone, The end of the year is as good a time as any for reflection, and lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes Reddit special.

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Reddit's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as \"may,\" \"will,\" \"should,\" \"expects,\" \"plans,\" \"anticipates,\" \"going to,\" \"could,\" \"intends,\" \"target,\" \"projects,\" \"contemplates,\" \"believes,\" \"estimates,\" \"predicts,\" \"potential\" or \"continue\" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern Reddit's expectations, strategy, priorities, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Reddit’s future financial and operating performance and GAAP and non-GAAP guidance. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is set forth in our letter to shareholders. Reddit's expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize, and actual results in future periods are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including those more fully described under the caption “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents that Reddit files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including Reddit’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which is being filed with the SEC at or around the date hereof.

But I’d like to communicate with you more regularly and directly about what we’re thinking and building. Many of these ideas come from our conversations with mods and users who participate in programs like Mod Council, Partner Communities, and the User Feedback Collective.\_\n\nWe recently shared our [Q1 earnings results](https://www.reddit.com/r/RDDT/comments/1kcibvm/reddit_announces_q125_earnings_plus_ama/) (TL;DR: Solid quarter). Beyond the numbers, I wanted to highlight a few moments from the start of the year:\n\n* In March, we [released a set of tools](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/1j4z42x/making_contributing_easier_on_reddit_new_tools/), including post suggestions, insights, and rule checking, to help users participate successfully in conversations and let mods focus more on leading their communities. Reddit should feel easier to contribute to, especially for first-timers, and these are some of the ways we’re working towards that.\n* [Reddit Answers](https://www.reddit.com/answers)—our AI-powered search tool—is live in nine countries, including the US, UK, and India with support in English and more countries and languages on the way. It’s being used for everything from “what’s the best espresso machine” to “last night’s episode of The Last of Us.” Still early, but the vision is simple: make Reddit’s seemingly infinite human knowledge easier to access. Most of the conversations on Reddit happen on posts less than a day old. Reddit Answers unlocks the other 20 years. Reddit Answers doesn’t replace conversations—it’s a quicker path towards them.\n* In the first quarter, “reddit” was the 6th most Googled word in the U.S. (and sandwiched between “news” and “trump,” which is, I think, Chaotic Neutral on the internet alignment chart), proving that 1) people want what Reddit has and 2) Reddit search isn’t there quite yet, but [we’re right on schedule](https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/59k22p/comment/d992fwq/?context=1).\_\n* 2.2 million players joined our April Fools’ Day event, [r/field](https://www.reddit.com/r/Field/) (with roughly half in my honor\\*), and it’s an early proof of what’s possible for [games on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/GamesOnReddit/). It’s really special to see people creating their own interactive experiences on our [Developer Platform](https://developers.reddit.com/), and I trust whatever our users come up with will be far more interesting than anything we build ourselves.\n\n![img](84rkh6lyzyye1 \"*Mentions of “fuck spez” on Reddit\")\n\nNext month, Reddit turns 20. Honestly, it blows my mind. A lot has changed on Reddit over the years, and a lot has stayed the same. The core of Reddit’s identity hasn’t changed much—our model is still based on communities, voting, and (mostly) anonymous users, so our conversations remain some of the most real you can find online.\n\nToday, we see Reddit as having two superpowers: community and knowledge. At the end of last year, we updated our mission statement to reflect both: **Empower communities, and make their knowledge accessible to everyone.** This captures both our longstanding work in creating a platform for community and for using Reddit as a source for knowledge.\n\nReddit is unlike any other platform, and that’s by design. While social media feeds you whatever content drives the most engagement, on Reddit, you decide what matters and make it popular through voting. We’re also one of the last major sites that doesn’t require you to sign in to access most features. We do this because we think it’s important, and we believe our open model helps fulfill the internet’s purpose: to bring individuals from all over the world together to discover, engage with, and exchange ideas that matter to them, without barriers and regardless of geography or language.\n\nAnd as we look ahead, we want to double down on these values. Our goal is to make Reddit the best version of itself by being faster, better, and easier to use. Here’s how we’re bringing that vision to life:\n\n**Core product improvements:** Across the platform, we’ll be trying out a range of updates to make things better. We’ll be making it easier to create and read posts and find new subreddits, upgrading profile pages, evolving r/popular, improving wikis, and ~~creating~~ fixing a lot of bugs. We will keep you updated with changes as we go.\_\n\n**Moderation:** Moderators make communities, and by definition, without moderators, there are no communities. Moderating subreddits today can be time-consuming, too manual, and at times frustrating. It can be difficult to recruit new mods, and growing a community from scratch is way too hard. Often, a few folks end up carrying the weight, which isn’t fair or sustainable. Our vision is to shift the primary role of a moderator from policing to community cultivation. We’ll get there with better tools—especially more AI-driven automation—that moderators can choose to use in their communities. Focus groups, early product testing, and feedback loops shape how these systems evolve. u/Go_JasonWaterfalls will share more with mods here soon. I want to sincerely thank the many mods who have joined our councils, groups, and feedback sessions over the last couple of years to help us in this journey.\n\n**Search:** We believe search being great on Reddit will make the whole product better. Increasingly, people come to Reddit with a specific question that likely has been answered a hundred different ways. And whether you’re a first-time visitor or an old.reddit diehard, search should help you get to where you’re going faster. I’m the first to admit, finding what you’re looking for on Reddit hasn’t always (ever) been easy. We’ve made a lot of progress in the last few years and have many more improvements coming this year, including expanding Reddit Answers and integrating it directly into the core search experience.\_\n\n**AI + Humans:** An increasing amount of the content you see online is generated by machines—so how does AI fit into the most human place on the internet? First, AI can be incredibly useful for things like summarization, safety, translation, and moderation. That includes filters that reduce the burden on mods by automatically removing spam, hateful, or violent content. And it powers things like [post guidance](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/17625458521748-Automations-Post-Comment-Guidance-Set-Up), which can tell a user whether their post violates a subreddit rule before they submit it—this helps new users learn the rules and also saves mods lots of time. Reddit’s strength is in its people, and we want AI tools that help you do what you’re already doing.\n\nThat said, unwelcome AI in communities is a serious concern. It is the worry I hear most often these days from users and mods alike. **Reddit works because it’s human**. It’s one of the few places online where real people share real opinions. That authenticity is what gives Reddit its value. If we lose trust in that, we lose what makes Reddit
Reddit. Our focus is, and always will be, on keeping Reddit a trusted place for human conversation.\_\n\nAt the same time, anonymity is essential to Reddit. People come here to share experiences they wouldn’t post anywhere else because they know they are safe to do so. To make this possible, historically, Reddit has required practically no information to create an account. We have been—and will continue to be—extremely protective of your personal information, and will continue to push back against excessive or unreasonable demands from public or private authorities. If you want to know more about how we respond to\_ legal requests from governments, law enforcement, and private parties, check out our biannual [Transparency Report](https://redditinc.com/policies/transparency-report-july-to-december-2024).\n\nTo keep Reddit human and to meet evolving regulatory requirements, we are going to need a little more information. Specifically, we will need to know whether you are a human, and in some locations, if you are an adult. But **we never** want to know your name or who you are. The way we will do this is by working with various third-party services that can provide us with the essential information and nothing else. No solution is perfect—including the status quo—but we will do our best to preserve both the humanness and anonymity of Reddit. We will share more as we go.\n\n**Premium content:** You might’ve seen some headlines about “paid subreddits.” Perhaps those articles were behind paywalls. Let me clarify: we’re not putting Reddit behind a paywall. We are thinking about how to empower communities to monetize through premium experiences and exclusive spaces. One way to do that is by enabling communities to offer a separate space for their most leaned-in members (back in the day, the most loved feature of Reddit Gold was access to r/lounge, and we’d like to reimagine this). This would be an optional feature for communities that [want it](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSezA2xdhjMYEHkPRdIs4pVXyTB2vtqcPMZ4pQt679Yv1Ef05w/viewform).\n\n**Sunsetting old.reddit:** old.reddit is the version of Reddit that we built back in the mid-2000s. It doesn’t scale, it’s impossible to develop on, and it’s ugly af. We will be shutting it down at the end of the month.\n\nJust kidding. I don’t know why I say stuff like this. We’ll figure out how to work around it and keep it online as long as people are using it.\n\n![img](prh1c0ewzyye1)\n\nThank you all for being a part of this. Reddit works because you contribute, upvote, downvote, moderate, and create spaces where real conversations happen. The internet is changing rapidly, and human perspectives have never been more important. More than ever, it’s essential that we share information, express our viewpoints, and find connection.\_\n\nThe last 20 years have proven how powerful online communities can be—and as we look ahead, I’m even more excited for what the next 20 will bring.\n\nThank you,\n\nSteve aka spez" richtext: >- {"document":[{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"Hi everyone,"}],"e":"par"},{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"I haven\u2019t posted in a while\u2014and let\u2019s be honest, when I do show up, it usually means something\u2019s gone sideways (and if it\u2019s not gone sideways, it\u2019s probably about to).

Based on your feedback, we will allow you to continue to use CSS on top of the new structured styles. This will be the last part of the customization tool we build as we want to make sure the structured options we are offering are rock solid. Also, please keep in mind that if you do choose to use the advanced option, we will no longer be treading as carefully as we have done in the past about breaking styles applied through CSS^1. To give you a sense of our approach, we’re starting with a handful of highly-customized communities (e.g. r/overwatch and r/gameofthrones) and seeing how close we can get to their existing appearance using the new system. Logos, images, colors, spoilers, menus, flairs (all kinds), and lots more will be supported. I know you’d like to see a list of everything, but we think the best approach will be to show instead of tell, which we’re racing to as quickly as possible. The widget system I mentioned in the last post isn’t directly related. Many communities have added complex functionality over the years (calendars, scoreboards, etc). A widget system will elevate these features to first-class status on Reddit, with the aim of making them both more powerful and reuseable. Yes, we’re evaluating how we would accept user-created widgets. We intend for widgets to be able to be updated via the API, so you’ll still be able to create dynamically updating content in your subreddit sidebar. This change, and the redesign in general, is going to happen slowly. We will will not be abruptly cutting everyone over to the new site at once. We know it won’t be perfect at first (unlike the current site), and plan to include plenty of time to solicit feedback and make iterations. Sharing our plans for subreddit customization this far advance with you is part of this process. We’ll start with a small alpha group and create a subreddit to solicit feedback. As we continue to add features, we’ll expand the testing group to an opt-in beta. If you’d like to participate in the alpha please add a reply to [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/6auyq9/reddit_is_procss/dhhmebb/). Please note, signing up does not guarantee a spot in the alpha. We want to be able to be responsive to the alpha testers, and keeping the initial group small has proved to be effective in the past. I’d like thank everyone who has provided feedback on this topic. There have been some very [constructive](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/677rba/some_brainstorming_about_potential_widgets_in_the) [threads](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/66rdiy/crowdsourcing_new_subreddit_widgets/).

For a long time, we’ve used CSS as the mechanism for subreddit customization, but we’ll be deprecating CSS during the redesign in favor of a new system over the coming months. While CSS has provided a wonderful creative canvas to many communities, it is not without flaws: * It’s web-only. Increasing users are viewing Reddit on mobile (over 50%), where CSS is not supported. We’d love for you to be able to bring your spice to phones as well. * CSS is a pain in the ass: it’s difficult to learn; it’s error-prone; and it’s time consuming. * Some changes cause confusion (such as changing the subscription numbers). * CSS causes us to move slow. We’d like to make changes more quickly. You’ve asked us to improve things, and one of the things that slows us down is the risk of breaking subreddit CSS (and third-party mod tools). We’re designing a new set of tools to address the challenges with CSS but continue to allow communities to express their identities. These tools will allow moderators to select customization options for key areas of their subreddit across platforms. For example, header images and flair colors will be rendered correctly on desktop and mobile. We know great things happen when we give users as much flexibility as possible. The menu of options we’ll provide for customization is still being determined. Our starting point is to replicate as many of the existing uses that already exist, and to expand beyond as we evolve. We will also natively supporting a lot of the functionality that subreddits currently build into the sidebar via a widget system. For instance, a calendar widget will allow subreddits to easily display upcoming events. We’d like this feature and many like it to be accessible to all communities. How are we going to get there? We’ll be working closely with as many of you as possible to design these features. The process will span the next few months. We have a lot of ideas already and are hoping you’ll help us add and refine even more. The transition isn’t going to be easy for everyone, so we’ll assist communities that want help (i.e. we’ll do it for you). u/powerlanguage will be reaching out for alpha testers. ##**Mod Tools** Mod tools have evolved over time to be some of the most complex parts of Reddit, both in terms of user experience and the underlying code. We know that these tools are crucial for the maintaining the health of your communities, and we know many of you who moderate very large subreddits depend on third-party tools for your work. Not breaking these tools is constantly on our mind (for better or worse). We’re in contact with the devs of Toolbox, and would like to work together to port it to the redesign. Once that is complete, we’ll begin work on updating these tools, including supporting natively the most requested features from Toolbox. The existing site and the redesigned site will run in parallel while we make these changes. That is, we don’t have plans for turning off the current site anytime soon. If you depend on functionality that has not yet been transferred to the redesign, you will still have a way to perform those actions. While we have your attention
 we’re also growing our internal team that handles spam and bad-actors. Our current focus is on report abuse. We’ve caught a lot of bad behavior. We hope you notice the difference, and we’ll keep at it regardless. ##**Moving Forward** We know moderation can feel janitorial–thankless and repetitive. Thank you for all that you do. Our goal is to take care much of that burden so you can focus on helping your communities thrive. Big changes are ahead. These are fundamental, core issues that we’ll be grappling with together–changes to how communities are managed and express identity are not taken lightly. We’ll be giving you further details as we move forward, but wanted to give you a heads up early. Thanks for reading. update: now that I've cherry-picked all the easy questions, I'm going to take off and leave the hard ones for u/powerlanguage. I'll be back in a couple hours. richtext: >- {"document":[{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"Hi Mods,"}],"e":"par"},{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"You may recall from my "},{"e":"link","t":"announcement post","u":"https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/5q4qmg/out_with_2016_in_with_2017/"},{"e":"text","t":" earlier this year that I mentioned we\u2019re currently working on a full redesign of the site, which brings me to the two topics I wanted to talk to you about today: Custom Styles and Mod Tools."}],"e":"par"},{"c":[{"e":"raw","t":"Custom Styles"}],"e":"h","l":2},{"c":[{"e":"text","t":"Custom community styles are a key component in allowing communities to express their identity, and we want to preserve this in the site redesign.

He comes from Wikipedia by way of Wikia.

We diverted resources to combat this, and we have made quite a bit of progress, lowering user reported spam by over 60% from its high point last quarter. We still have plenty of work to do, but we are making steady progress. Removing as spam or reporting as such are still the most effective ways to help. * **Account Take-Overs** (ATOs): In response to our improved spam-fighting measures, the bad-guys have been targeting existing accounts, compromising them for the purpose of spamming and vote cheating. We are fighting ATOs on the engineering side, but ATOs also create a burden on our community team to notify affected users, send password reset emails, etc. We are working on automating the notification and recovery processes to free up our community managers. The root cause of the issue is poor passwords. Please use strong and unique passwords. * **Support Backlog**: Because of the aforementioned issues, our community team is swamped with support tickets. We are doing a good job keeping up with the incoming flow, but we do have a backlog that is taking time to work through. We are sorry for any delays. The good news is we have a number of new people joining the team over the next few weeks that will help. * **Modmail**: I am happy to report that we finally have a team dedicated to working on a new system for moderator mail. To this point, we have tried a number of approaches and have had a handful of false starts, but we have not made the sort of progress we would like. The current system is a series of hacks built on an old code base, and because of this, we have decided to build modmail as a new, separate system. This will allow us to develop it without disrupting your current workflows. We know this is where you spend a lot of your time, and we are working hard to make it more effective. We appreciate all you do for Reddit as moderators, and we appreciate seeing the questions you ask in this community.

You, our community of developers, are important to us, and have been instrumental to the success of the Reddit platform. First and foremost, we want to reaffirm our commitment to providing (and improving!) a public API. There are a couple of notable changes to the API terms that I’d like to highlight. The first is that we are requesting all users of the API to register with us. This provides a point of contact for when we have important updates to share; provides a point of contact for when things go wrong; and helps us prevent abuse. We are also no longer requiring a special licensing agreement to use our API for commercial purposes. We do request that you seek approval for your monetization model in the registration process. We have added clarity about the types of things that the API is not intended for–namely applications that promote illegal activity, disrupt core Reddit functionality, or introduce security risks. But you weren’t doing any of these things anyway. We still require users of our API to comply with our User Agreement, Privacy Policy, API Usage Limits, and any other applicable laws or regulations. We will continue to require the use of OAuth2. We understand moving to OAuth2 can take time, so we are giving developers until March 17th to make this change. We look forward to working with you more to create great experiences for our communities. There are many wonderful projects built on our API, and we would love to see even more.
