New Reddit Features in 2025: Everything You Need to Know
If you use Reddit in 2025, you know that new Reddit features are being added all the time. It’s hard to believe that this June will mark two decades of Reddit—perhaps the Internet’s greatest resource for keeping up with the news, discussing pop culture, and, well, wasting time.
What Are the New Reddit Features in 2025?
The Reddit of 2025 would be unrecognizable to anyone who used its 2005 iteration, and as with any social media platform, site redesigns and new features weren’t always as well-received as they were rolled out. Reddit has come a long way in this time, moving more and more into the mainstream. Now, pretty much everyone is interacting with Reddit in some way, and you’ve probably even noticed Reddit posts have been topping Google rankings for a while now.
But it’s hard to find fault with the latest batch of Reddit updates designed to make engaging with communities more efficient and less frustrating:
- Automated Rule-Breaking Detection
- Recovering Removed Posts
- Enhanced Engagement Insights
Let’s dive into these three new Reddit features in 2025 that will drastically improve the way you interact with Reddit.
AITA If My Post Breaks the Rules? – Automated Rule-Breaking Detection
In addition to the sitewide rules, most subreddits have their own regulations on what sort of content they allow. Some are stricter than others, but you’ll always want to check them out before posting.
A new feature currently being tested on the Reddit mobile platform will take any guesswork out of the equation by analyzing whether or not your post breaks any community guidelines. For instance, the second rule of r/AskReddit states that “All posts asking for advice must be generic and not specific to your situation alone,” which means that starting a thread titled “Should I learn how to play guitar or kazoo?” would likely get flagged for its first-person pronoun. (Go for the kazoo; every band already has a guitarist!)
Additionally, if a community has clear requirements that users must have a certain amount of karma or an account must be registered for a certain amount of time, you’ll be notified if you haven’t reached the benchmarks needed to post there.
Where Did My $&*%in’ Post Go?! – Making Use of Your Removed Posts
Let’s face it – some users are still going to break the rules, but there’s no need to fret (guitar pun). If your post is removed from a subreddit, you don’t have to put your musical dreams on hold. On both mobile and desktop, deleted posts will offer a convenient “Post to a different community” button that will allow you to give that content new life on another subreddit. Reddit will even help you find the most relevant subreddits for your topic with community suggestions that will lead you to r/guitars or r/kazoo.
Make the Most of Your Post – Enhanced Engagement Insights
Savvy Redditors have always kept track of how well their posts perform, from upvotes to shares to awards. An enhanced insights tab offers even more detailed info that can maximize your karma-building efforts to see which of your content performs best—we’re pretty sure a kazoo cover of “Purple Rain” would go viral, just saying. You can even get into the nitty-gritty and see where and when your posts are getting the most traction.
