Among several updates, Reddit is also improving the experience for logged-out users. Now, logged-out users should see more useful search results, with improved recommendations for related posts and communities.
In a blog post, Reddit said that people are discovering the website through various search engines to find relevant content posted by users. Thus, it has improved the experience for those who visit the site infrequently or for the first time.
The landing page has undergone design changes that allow users to browse content without searching. Now six trending posts are displayed at the top, up from the previous four. Posts have also been improved with increased title sizes and a better inset for images and videos.
Additionally, the search result page has been updated to provide a more simplified layout. The mobile version now prioritises posts over other elements, making it easier to navigate.
The updated desktop site now features a sticky sidebar, allowing users to easily navigate through relevant communities and posts. Even when logged out, users can view a subreddit’s landing page, which includes information about the community, such as its banner, member count, and rules.
The landing page for logged-out users is now more than twice as fast as the previous one. So, users can access the content they want without having to wait for long loading times.
The profile page has also been simplified and refreshed to align with other logged-out experiences.
The company recently announced that it is currently testing its verification mark. This will be done through the use of ‘official’ badges that will be given to a select few limited accounts. Additionally, the platform has promised to introduce new accessibility features for its apps in August. These features are designed to make the apps more screen reader-friendly, ensuring everyone can access and use them easily.
Reddit also said in the post that it is working on modernising the experience for logged-in users while improving the stability and performance.
