Reddit Now Lets You Mute Subreddits You Don't Like

In a post to /r/reddit, Reddit announced that it began rolling out a feature that will allow users to mute specific communities that contain content they don't want to see. Ars Technica reports: If you mute a subreddit using this feature, posts from it won't show up in your notifications, home feed recommendations, or Popular, Reddit's feed of the most upvoted content from across its various communities. Later, Reddit plans to apply muting to other places like "All" and "Discover." Muting a community won't stop you from being able to visit or post it, though. You can mute up to 1,000 communities and tweak your muted list at any time in Settings. The report notes that this new muting feature is only available in Reddit's iOS and Android apps for now. For updates on availability, Reddit directs users to their changelog feed.
