Reddit is developing a new video experience that will allow users to watch or listen to its most popular posts. The feature, inspired by viral TikTok videos pairing Reddit stories with footage, is currently in development and could begin testing later this year.
The social media platform is creating a way for users to consume content beyond text-based posts. According to CEO Steve Huffman, the new experience will focus on the site’s most popular submissions, presenting them in a video format. This approach mirrors the success of TikTok videos that often feature Reddit stories accompanied by gameplay or other relevant visuals.
Huffman stated that the feature is “already in the works” and indicated potential testing could begin before the end of the year. The move suggests Reddit is looking to adapt to evolving content consumption habits, particularly those popularized by short-form video platforms like TikTok. By offering both visual and auditory options, Reddit aims to broaden its appeal and engagement with a wider audience.
