GoKawiilReddit splits homepage into 'For You' and 'Following' feeds
Reddit is redesigning its homepage into two separate feeds: a 'Following' feed showing posts from subscribed communities, and a 'For You' feed blending those posts with algorithmic recommendations based on user interests and activity. The change follows Reddit's earlier move this year to deprecate r/all, the feed that surfaced platform-wide popular posts.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The shift suggests Reddit is prioritizing personalized, algorithm-driven discovery over community-curated browsing, a move that could reshape how users encounter content and communities on the platform. It also signals Reddit may be following the broader social media trend toward engagement-optimized feeds, similar to approaches used by TikTok and Instagram, though the company frames it in terms of fostering discovery and participation rather than engagement metrics.
- Reddit is introducing separate 'For You' and 'Following' homepage feeds.
- The 'For You' feed mixes subscribed-community posts with algorithmic recommendations.
- This follows Reddit's earlier deprecation of r/all as part of its personalization push.
