Reddit posts will be less likely to break the rules of a given subreddit, thanks to a number of changes the company is introducing to its apps.
These include the ability to ask an AI to check your post before you submit it …
Repeatedly posting prohibited content from a subreddit can be a quick way to get banned, and Reddit is now starting to test a new AI check feature in the iOS and Android apps.
To save time, you can carry out an initial check after typing the subject line:
This feature will first be made available to a small number of users during the testing phase, before a planned rollout to all if the test goes well.
Four additional features are available from today in iOS, Android, and desktop apps – starting with Post Recovery. If you do find a post removed from a subreddit for breaking the rules, you’ll now be offered the opportunity to post it to another community.
The apps will also save you time when you don’t meet the posting requirements for a subreddit – for example, your account is too new, or doesn’t have enough Karma. This will now be flagged before you start typing.
You can also see suggested subreddits based on your subject line.
Finally, a new Post Insights feature will allow you to see your post views, upvotes, shares, and more.
Reddit may be facing new competition shortly, thanks to the return of Digg.
