TL;DR
- Reddit is splitting its home feed into two tabs: For You and Following.
- For You mixes posts from joined communities with personalized recommendations, while Following only shows posts from communities you’ve joined.
- The update will roll out globally over the next few weeks.
Reddit is great when it comes to finding real-world answers to queries, first-hand information, discovering new communities, and connecting with people with interests similar to your own. Its recommendations are, most of the time, a reflection of your interests, sprinkled with content that Reddit thinks you’ll like and relate to. That’s great, but sometimes you just want to catch up on posts from communities you’ve already joined. Fortunately, Reddit is making that easier with its latest update.
Taking a page out of TikTok’s book, Reddit is splitting its home page feed into separate For You and Following feeds. Essentially, you’ll now be able to separate algorithmically recommended content from communities that you actually follow.
