Reddit has announced a feature, “community muting”, which will begin rolling out on mobile apps today. This feature gives you more control over what you do and don’t want to see on Reddit. You may have seen a few teasers about this feature (here & here)–that’s because muting is part of a larger effort to give redditors more control over their Reddit experience.
How does it work?
Muting a community will remove the community’s posts from your notifications and Home/Popular feeds (including Home feed recommendations). For the initial rollout, muted communities will be removed from Home & Popular feeds in the mobile app. The next step is expanding this feature to the reddit.com desktop site
