Here at Reddit we’ve been hard at work and have some fun stuff to share with you today. Let’s just jump in, shall we? \n\nWe shall. \n\n# Here’s what went out January 6th–19th\n\n**All about those avatars** \nAvatars are great, but they can always be better. That’s why we’ve made some new expansions and improvements. \n\n\n* New gear for the new year! [Check out the latest fashions and accessories](https://www.reddit.com/avatar) to keep your avatar looking fresh. \n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/c374krzzxcc61.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e20d032618b3590a6bcb818d84da6a039b04e20\n\n* Better, faster, stronger… We’ve updated the foundational tech that makes avatars work so they can be more scalable, secure, and have better telemetry. This may sound like boring engineering stuff to some but this work means that you can do important things like change the color of your beard without changing the color of your hair or hold something in your right hand without canceling out what you’re holding in your left hand. \n* Avatars aren’t just fun, they’re also functional. We’ve already added profile images and avatars to comment threads on Android and mobile web, and this week they rolled out to desktop as well. (Don’t worry iOS, you’re next.) We’ve found this helps people visually track the back and forth in a conversation, and it also results in more profile views and people starting chats with each other—so avatars are actually helping redditors connect.\n\n**A notification about your notifications** \nAn updated interface and more control over what notifications you receive is on the way. \n\n\n* First off, you’ll be getting a new notification inbox soon, complete with profile and community images and the ability to hide and manage notifications in-line. We’re rolled out to 5% on iOS, Android, and desktop now, and are testing things to make sure there aren’t any major bugs or improvements we need to make before rolling out further. Here’s what it looks like on iOS:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/62bmoqmdycc61.png?width=1464&format=png&auto=webp&s=305ebbcf71a2bde014cf1f34f44eb8753863a106\n\n* Next, you can’t have a new inbox without new user settings as well. Now you can control what inbox notifications and emails you’d like to receive from the mobile web, iOS, Android, and desktop. \n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/y7wwk5zaycc61.png?width=1463&format=png&auto=webp&s=e71e9caaba953200731d1eaf0ad320a2dafb0f70\n\n**Rolling out to new platforms** \nWe’re expanding two features that were mentioned in previous updates, so we can gather more information on how they're performing and make them available to more people. \n\n* Now redditors on Android and desktop have the ability to sign up or log in to their account with a [magic](https://i.redd.it/f4i4x1tmt68z.gif) link—a link we send to your email address that lets you access your Reddit account with one click. (This is already out on iOS.)\n* New redditors on Android, mobile web, and desktop will now be able to select more detailed subtopics they’re interested in, instead of super general ones, after creating their accounts. (This is already out on iOS.) \n\n**And a few more miscellaneous items**\n\n* What’s better than best? An improved best sort! We’re running an A/B test where the best sort on comment threads will prioritize comments with a high upvote ratio. The idea is that this will help high-quality comments that don’t have a lot of views yet get the attention they deserve. (It’s a very subtle change, but we think it’ll make our best sort even better.) \n* Previously, the award sheet you see on post and comments was different than what you saw while awarding a live video. Now we’ve cleaned them up to be the same. \n* For the next two weeks, we’re testing giving logged out redditors on the mobile web various offers and rewards if they download the app for the first time and log in to their account. This limited test will go to 25% of mobile web users.\n* If you haven’t verified your account with an email yet, you should. (Verifying your account [gives you a way to log in if you forget your password](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043047632-How-do-I-log-in-to-Reddit-if-I-forgot-my-password-), and helps ensure you won’t get locked out of your account.) We’re reminding redditors who haven’t verified their account yet to do so, using a dismissible banner on iOS. \n\n**Bugs and small fixes** \nHere’s what’s up with the native apps:\n\niOS bug fixes: \n\n* Blurred NSFW images in a media gallery will unblur after they’re viewed in theatre mode now\n* You can search for posts by filtering by date again \n* When you scroll up on a chat it won’t jump you to the most recent message anymore \n* The app won’t crash while watching videos anymore \n* Reddit live streams will play with the correct color theme now \n* Opening comment threads with permalinks won’t crash the app now \n\nAndroid updates and fixes:\n\n* The pop up asking you to rate the app will show up less often now\n* Push notifications open correctly for everyone again \n* Chat notification badges update consistently again \n* The exit button works while Anonymous Browsing again\n\nHope you have a great week. As always, we’ll be around for a bit to answer your questions."

Over the past several months, we’ve worked on updating the icons on web to do three main things:\n\n* **Improve accessibility** \nPreviously, we relied on color to indicate on/off states, but the new icons sets also use contrasting outlines and fills to further differentiate on/off states.\n* **Improve interactions** \nWe standardized and increased the size of the icons to make them easier to click.\n* **Improve the User Interface (UI)** \nWhen you visit Reddit, the main focus should be on the content, not the UI. The new fill states were designed to be less distracting so that the content of a page remains the main focus.\n\nHere’s some examples of some new icons with their on/off states to look over:\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/j87c40ph44471.png?width=1150&format=png&auto=webp&s=144f88a4b2610467a2fcb183189a3e7a050f32a7\n\nThanks to those of you who helped give feedback on earlier tests and get the icons to where they are today. This change is now live on 100% of non-moderating surfaces (we’re working on mod surfaces and icons separately), so if you see an old icon slip through or any bugs, let us know.\n\n**Experimenting with a new mobile moderation experience** \nAs was [announced over in r/modnews](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/nktza6/experimenting_with_a_new_mobile_moderation/), we’re testing out a mod view where moderators can easily access their Mod Queue and a feed of the communities they moderate from the mobile app. This experiment is just a test to get information and feedback from mods about how it can be improved. If you have thoughts or ideas, [add your comments to the post](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/nktza6/experimenting_with_a_new_mobile_moderation/).\n\n**A few more things…** \nBugs, small updates, and tests across various platforms.\n\nOn all platforms\n\n* If you signed up with an email but haven’t verified your email address yet, you’ll get a reminder email to finish the process.\n\nOn the web\n\n* Now you can use quick commands in chat. Pressing the Return key will send your chat message and Shift + Return will add a line break.\n\nOn the mobile web\n\n* The styling of the navigation menu has been updated and some of the navigation items in the About Reddit section have been reorganized.\n\nOn iOS\n\n* Fixed a bug where the screen was blinking while adding text in a post title.\n* Image thumbnails in crossposts that are tagged as NSFW or with a spoiler will blur properly again.\n* You can post image galleries to your profile now.\n\nOn Android\n\n* To help people find more posts and content they may be interested in, there’s a test showing related posts below comments. This has already been tested on iOS and now we’re bringing it to Android.\n* The updated video player is out to 100% of redditors on Android.\n* Fixed a crash that occasionally happened while you were tapping a post or comment."

This week we have a few updates to share about new features and tests, along with a retirement and some removals. Let’s dive in…\n\n# Here’s what’s new June 8th–June 22nd\n\n**New opportunities to create new communities** \nAs was [announced last week in r/modnews](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/o18ct9/creating_new_opportunities_for_future_community/), starting today we’re removing a number of dormant communities and making their names available for future community creators. There are a number of communities on Reddit that get started but, for whatever reason, never really take off. Over the years, this has resulted in a large number of communities that have always been dormant or may have experienced a small amount of activity at one time but have become ghost towns. If you’ve ever tried to create a new community only to find the name you want taken by an inactive community, you know how frustrating that can be. But no more! This initiative will help make many of the names available again. \n\nThere will be two phases to this initiative, and communities must meet certain requirements/thresholds in order to be considered dormant and eligible for removal. ([Learn about the requirements in the original post](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/o18ct9/creating_new_opportunities_for_future_community/).) There are a lot of dormant communities (almost a million!) so it will take around two weeks to remove them, and you may be interested in some of the names up for grabs. If you’re into random stuff, good news―r/RandomStuff will soon be available. Do you think American cheese is the greatest?―r/AmericanCheese could be the place to connect with your fellow enthusiasts. But all kidding aside, we’re excited about the new namespace that’s becoming available and hope new creators will make the best of it. To learn all the nitty gritty details, [check out the original r/modnews post](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/o18ct9/creating_new_opportunities_for_future_community/) or [today’s update](https://www.reddit.com/r/modnews/comments/o5ymis/an_update_on_creating_new_opportunities_for/). \n\n**Testing a new way to discover communities** \nStarting this month, you may see a new tab on the Reddit iOS app called Discover. This new space has a few familiar features like a list of communities you follow, along with some new things such as a way to browse posts by topics and a scrollable feed with a mix of content. Here’s a preview: \n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/wty56dnf7w671.png?width=2926&format=png&auto=webp&s=c79e1191da73b884d27f7cac7da96cc286e3c955\n\nDiscover is a great place to go when you’re bored or looking to burst your bubble and find new things you may have never seen or interacted with before. This will be going out to 10% of redditors on iOS later this month, and will roll out to other platforms as we learn more and get feedback. \n\nr/trendingsubreddits **rides off into the sunset** \nBack in the day, [trending subreddits on the front page](https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/22pz96/reddit_change_trending_subreddits_on_the_front/) was one of the only ways to find new communities. Today, there’s a [trending communities leaderboard](https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/leaderboard/), personalized recommendations, improved onboarding for new redditors, and new ways to discover communities we’re testing like the Discover tab mentioned above. Because there are so many ways to find trending and new communities, the time has come to retire the r/trendingsubreddits community and any widgets that used its curated trends. If you want to check out the last few hand-selected communities (that were picked to celebrate this little community and all the other communities it helped put on redditors’ radars over the years), head on over to r/trendingsubreddits to check it out one last time. \n\n**A few small updates from the native apps** \nBugs, tests, and tweaks… \n\nOn iOS\n\n* Autocorrected words display correctly (with a blue underline) when the comment composer is expanded again.\n* Now text posts have a link keyboard accessory.\n* Fixed a bug that was showing an error message after people had successfully resent a message in chat. \n\nOn Android\n\n* We’re testing a few different things to improve comment threads and make them easier to read through—moving the fast forward button (as [some of you mentioned the other week](https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/nvfm9k/new_web_icons_a_mobile_moderation_test_and_a/h12ymfm?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3), the default placement can be confusing); left aligning vote, award, and reply buttons; making it easier to expand collapsed threads, and truncating comments that are more than five lines long. \n* Community user flair saves correctly again.\n* If you download and save images to your phone while using Pie OS or older, your images will be saved to Photos instead of Photos/Reddit now."
