Overview
- Reddit announced the two-tab homepage on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and has begun a staged global rollout that is already visible to many users in the United States.
- The For You feed mixes posts from communities a user has joined with algorithmic recommendations tailored to their interests, while the Following feed shows only posts from joined communities.
- Users can switch between the two tabs and the app will remember the last feed they viewed so it opens to that tab on return.
- Some users who saw the change during early tests expressed frustration about recommended content appearing in their main feed, and Reddit framed the persistent tab choice as a design move to give users more control.
- The update aligns Reddit with other major platforms that use recommendation-first home feeds and is intended to increase discovery and engagement by nudging users toward new communities and conversations.
