Redesigning Reddit
summary
Redesign plans keep Reddit’s core mechanics but add a visual card view, new profile pages, first-class event threads and sitewide video while testing relevancy algorithms with real users. Moderation expands beyond bans using quarantining (now rarely used) plus clearer content policy and larger trust & safety teams. Team grows from ~140 to ~250 people to ship multiple features; big redesign runs live tests now with a targeted full launch in Q1.
