Reddit rolls out new features to improve post sharing experience

Reddit admits that previous features were outdated and required multiple steps

Reddit is rolling out new features after incorporating feedback related to sharing its posts on social media platforms.

While launching the new updates, the company acknowledged that its previous sharing-related features were outdated and required a longer process to share any post.

To make it easier, when a user shares any Reddit post link via instant messaging apps, the link will show a visual preview of the content, subreddit name, upvotes tally and number of comments. This way, users can get a preview in the chat window only.

Users can now also share their Reddit posts on Instagram stories directly, without the need of uploading a screenshot.

Apart from that, Reddit has also added a new embedding toolbox which makes it easier to embed tweets in articles.
