Reddit launches chat channels

Reddit has launched another chat channel on 25 volunteer subreddits, allowing users to message within a particular subreddit in real-time just like Discord and Telegram.

In a post, Reddit said that the idea is for chat channels to be dedicated spaces that persist within a subreddit.

"This is your place for general discussion, a place to share random quips and reactions that you otherwise wouldn’t have in a post," the post read.

Additionally, the chat channels are expected to have a "mod-first approach," with options for moderators and even a mod-only channel to share experiences.

The list of the 25 channels getting the feature wasn't provided by the company in the post, but Reddit claimed it will slowly expand the feature to include all other subreddits.
