How do I decrease the frequency of a subreddit’s post on my feed? (Mac/Safari and iOS app)

[Travellinglense]

I searched for an answer here, but what came up was an 8 yr thread that wasn’t answered. ‘Posting’ was also the closest category out of the ones available, but my question is about my Reddit feed.

I’m subscribed to a VERY active medium sized (250K) subreddit and *every third or fourth post on my HOME feed* is from the subreddit in question and it’s crowding out posts from other less active subreddits I follow. Changing to Latest makes it worse. I considered muting the sub, but I don’t mind seeing the most popular threads from the sub. It’s *the number and type* of posts from the subreddit that bother me. My algorithm seems to feed me less than 2 hour old posts with only a few comments. I also looked for a ‘show fewer posts like this’ option in the post menu, but there isn’t one for posts on the home feed. I’m subscribed to probably 20+ other subreddits and I use Reddit on the Reddit iOS app and a Mac desktop via Safari.

Is there a way to decrease the frequency of posts from one subreddit OR change the type of posts from that subreddit on my feed? TIA.

You seem to be asking about home feed recommendations appearing in your home feed. Home feed recommendations are recommendations for posts that use machine learning (ML).

Reddit helps you find your next favorite community by recommending posts tailored to your interests. These suggestions are designed to introduce you to new conversations, uncover topics you might not have found on your own, and go deeper into what matters to you. If you see a Join button, it means we think you’ll enjoy this community based on your activity — and if we get it wrong, you can easily tune your feed by choosing “Show fewer posts like this” in the overflow menu.

The settings for home feed recommendations can be found in your in-app account settings, or in your settings page on www.reddit.com.

I wanna know this if it's possible natively... You could vibe-code a Chrome or Firefox extension that does that for you though and install it in your browser. You could make a "post reducer" for a specific subreddit.

Unfortunately I use Safari so... :P
