Quick Glimpse Into Reddit's New Content Tools

Let's quickly take a look at the new changes Reddit has made.

Post Check

The first feature is Post Check" which runs an automatic check on content to ensure it's well within the community guidelines. Sometimes a user might have accidentally broken a rule, which would cause the post to be removed later.

You can access this feature from the little wand icon on the bottom left corner of your screen. The tool will highlight the parts that are against the rules, making it easier for you to fix them.

In case your post is removed because of community guidelines issues, you can now easily post it to a different subreddit. The platform itself will recommend which other communities you can post it on without violating their guidelines.

Community Suggestions

Another feature addition is Community Suggestions". If you are unsure about the community where you should make a post, this feature will be handy.

Once you click on the drop-down menu from the Pick a Community" option, it will suggest the most relevant communities based on your post's content. This will help you connect with the right audience and increase engagement on your post.

Sometimes you might not be able to contribute to a community because of some other criteria that you don't meet. In that case, Reddit will help you understand how you can overcome it.

For example, if you are unable to contribute because of low karma points, this new feature will notify you about the same and tell you that you can increase your karma points by commenting and posting on the platform.

Post Insights

Last but not the least, Reddit has also introduced Post Insights" which will give you better information on how your post is doing in terms of views, shares, and upvotes. This in turn will help you understand which kind of content does well and which does not.

The best part is that Reddit went for a global rollout. These features are now available to all Reddit users both on mobile and desktop.

These features are the latest in the line of Reddit's growing number of innovative tools. The platform has been heavily investing in new technology to keep up with its rivals.

In December, it launched a new feature called Reddit Answers (which is still in beta mode and only available in the US), which summarizes community discussions.
