Before you ask, yes \u2014 Reddit\u2019s For You feed makes it the latest platform to ape TikTok\u2019s signature design choice. These days, it seems as if everyone<\/a> is trending<\/a> toward layouts<\/a> centered around infinitely scrolling vertical videos<\/a>, but for Reddit, that pivot isn\u2019t exactly new. Redditors have seen posts from subreddits they don\u2019t follow for years<\/a>, and the platform has already rejiggered its video format<\/a> to make those clips look more like TikToks.<\/p>\n Daily industry updates, straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n Subscribe <\/p>\n So what\u2019s new with For You and Following? Essentially, Reddit\u2019s new homepage design splits its two most endearing qualities into two separate feeds. If you visit the platform to discover new ideas that are hard to find elsewhere, For You will feed your curiosity. If, however, you put more stock in the community-focused aspects of the Reddit experience, the Following feed will preserve those connections.<\/p>\n \u201cAt Reddit, good recommendations should help people follow an interest into a community, and from there, into a conversation,\u201d reads a company blog post<\/a>. \u201cAcross thousands of communities, discovery can help people find others who get them, encounter perspectives that broaden their own, and take part in something bigger while sharing their own experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n By letting its users choose to prioritize either discovery or community, Reddit is reflecting the deeper fault lines that have created friction between its execs and its subreddit administrators. In 2023, thousands of subreddits went offline<\/a> as part of a coordinated blackout that protested planned changes to Reddit\u2019s API pricing and third-party support. Three years later, most of those subreddits are back in business, but Reddit is moving forward with plans to limit API access and disconnect RSS readers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Amid that landscape, the new homepage feels like a compromise. As Reddit evolves to stay competitive with other social media platforms, it is keeping its original spirit alive on the Following feed. The changes are expected to roll out to all users over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Would you rather see posts that are suggested for you or posts from communities you\u2019ve chosen to follow?\u00a0Reddit\u00a0is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":668316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[283087,631,218094,61,60,283088,7191,80],"class_list":["post-668315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-for-you-page","tag-for-you","tag-homepage-feature","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-recommendation-algorithm","tag-reddit","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=668315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/668315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/668316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=668315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=668315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=668315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Tubefilter\"\/](\"https:\/\/www.tubefilter.com\/wp-content\/themes\/tubefilter\/images\/logo_main.svg\"){kind=logo}
