## Key points

- Reddit is separating recommendations from posts by joined subreddits.
- The app will remember which feed users last chose.
- User feedback is planned to help refine recommendations.

## Summary

Reddit is splitting its main app feed into a “For You” section for algorithmic recommendations and a “Following” section for posts from subreddits users have joined. The change gives users a clearer choice between discovering new communities and keeping up with their existing subscriptions, while making Reddit’s main feed more like those on other social platforms.

The app will open to “For You” at first, then remember whichever feed a user last selected for later launches. Reddit says recommendations should help people find relevant conversations they might otherwise miss, and it is developing ways for users to give feedback and refine suggestions. The move aligns with CEO Steve Huffman’s aim to bring casual users back and surface relevant posts, including older ones; Reddit is also experimenting with audio and video versions of popular posts.
