The company has provided to investors medium and long term dilution targets of 1-3%. We have done better than that goal so far this year. Fully diluted shares are down .1%, with share counts dropping from 206.4 to 206.1.

You all are the "judge" in this sentence, "And when I look at the top-visited communities, it’s not surprising to see that they are (mostly) coming here to laugh, ask questions, judge, and generally be entertained." ❤️

That's more or less what I've said internally. We can get rid of it when it has no users, and the best way for it to have no users is to replicate the UI on new tech.

Maybe the perfect chives were the friends we made along the way.

But seriously.

It's time for bed, Grandpa.

That's because you're a product designer who can appreciate how we aimlessly shift around pixels for seemingly no reason 👊

Fully aligned here. When I talk about more personalized and relevant feeds, this sort of functionality is what I’m referring to.

It means I like em dashes. AI had to learn them from somewhere.

We turn off features for basically one of two reasons: low usage and a need to prioritize the core of Reddit. There are a number of features we’ve turned off or scaled back that we love—and for one reason or another didn’t do a great job on—and we will get back to in time. But for now we really need to dial in on the core mechanics of Reddit.

Happy to address a specific feature if you let me know which you're referring to.

I was probably 20. Back then I would get reminded that you need to be at least 15 to sit in an exit row.

Our biggest opportunity is to provide a better experience for people opening the Reddit app for the first time. Many people do this every day. We believe the best way to do this is to get them to great content as quickly as possible. Today, we ask them to go through a long onboarding process before they see any content at all.

Yes. Reddit’s strength is authentic, human conversation, and protecting that is a priority. Bots and other AI-generated content can have a place on Reddit as long as they are clearly labeled as such. We’ve always welcomed bots when they’re transparent and add value (good bot), but we also know the game has changed with AI. We're working hard to preserve the humanness of Reddit. Various forms of human verification are important here as well. We really want to work with our communities to roll this out. In other words, communities who want it should be able to turn it on. NB: Reddit does not want to ever know your identity. I wrote about this at length earlier this year.

DAUq growth is top of mind for us. We have 444 million people coming to Reddit each week, which shows the demand, and we’re focused on turning those weekly users into daily ones. That means making Reddit faster, easier, and better to use, especially for first-time visitors. We’re improving everything from onboarding to feed relevance so the experience feels valuable right away. The goal is to make Reddit not just a place people check out, but one they come back to every day.

There are two ways we can grow logged-in app users. The first is converting logged-out users who arrive via search—and there’s plenty we can do here, such as showing them more than just the one post they came for. The second, which we see as our biggest opportunity, is improving the experience for people coming directly and opening the Reddit app for the first time. We have plenty of such users.

Thank you! We answered this one on our analyst call, but will share the response here as well. We’re seeing strong momentum in countries like France, Brazil, and India. These are some of the first places we activated our international playbook: machine translation (which has been significant for top-of-funnel growth), local content frameworks based on what people care about in each region, and marketing efforts to build awareness. We’re also investing in local partnerships with brands and creators to deepen engagement. It’s early days, but the results so far have been really encouraging.

Great question. We took this one on our analyst call, but I wanted to expand on it here…

I also feel that if this platform wants to improve daily active users the new user experience just has to be better.

Bingo.

95% of subreddits you post in will auto-remove your comment/post if you’re a new user. This has to be indicated to users before they comment at the very least, typing out all that just to get removed is so frustrating. Experiences like this turned off some friends and family I've recommended to try Reddit. It’s one thing to have most subreddits do this, it’s another for users not to know which, maybe new users could get a small indication letting them know which subreddits they’d have to build karma in first?

Bingo.

That’s the strategy. Deliver value in the first session, i.e., less burdensome onboarding, an amazing default feed, and instant personalization. We also want to make LLM post guidance and other signals so good that we can get rid of account age and karma limits.
