Reddit, Inc.

Whew, we're still riding high from Snoosweek! Last week was our biannual hackathon where Snoos take a break from their usual work and tackle a new project aimed at making Reddit better, both internally and externally. The exploration during this week often culminates in tangible improvements for our users and employees; for example: - Comment Search, the ability to search within the comment section - Reddit Recap, end of year product that wraps up your year on Reddit - Community anniversaries, product element that shows when a sub was created - Badger, an internal tool that visualizes reporting structures - Native smart cropping for ad creatives - Link previews in Reddit chat - Plus many more! And this year we introduced a new award—The Devvinici—for the best application of our Developer Platform. Upvotes to our participants, judges, and winners for making this a Snoosweek to remember. ??

We heard you. Contributing on Reddit is about to be a lot easier.

After almost 20 years, Reddit has become a living archive capturing every aspect of humanity—from the curious and silly (hi, r/DivorcedBirds ?? ) to the painful and transformative. The breadth and depth of the human experience is complex, and our communities are no different. Reddit is about the people—not the platform—and it turns out people are capable of pretty incredible things.

Today is r/FirstTimeHomeBuyer's 10-year cake day. ?? This corner of Reddit provides a welcoming space to learn, commiserate, and celebrate with other people pursuing home ownership in?one of the toughest housing markets?in recent history. And when users achieve their goal, they commemorate the milestone with a classic combo: pizza with a side of keys. Check out r/FirstTimeHomeBuyer: https://lnkd.in/e3iHeh3T

Call it a Search Party—our Product org is focused on making on-platform search a truly first-class product and the go-to place to find information on Reddit. ?? This work is possible thanks to smart people like Christophe Hivert, Machine Learning Engineer. One of Christophe's proudest moments at Reddit is the recent launch of a new search algorithm aimed at helping users find safe and relevant posts. And when he's not improving the experience for our users, he's spending time in communities like r/chess, r/swimming, and r/namenerds.
