TL;DR: New comment features are rolling out. You can now turn a great comment into its own post, check stats on your comments, and save drafts automatically. Rollout begins today on both native apps and web and will continue over the next few weeks.

• Share comments as posts: easily turn comments into posts to continue the conversation. 

• See comment insights: monitor comment analytics in real-time by tracking views, upvotes, replies, shares, awards, and more.

• Comment drafts: automatically save your comment drafts in case you swipe away or need more time.

Comments carry the conversation. Now they can create their own thread.

The comment section is where you find some of the best stuff on Reddit (like or ), but sometimes your (objectively great) comments can get buried. Now there’s a new way to spotlight and re-engage with past conversations.

How it works: 

1. When you see a comment, tap the share icon and select a community.

2. Write a new title, add body text, and hit post.

*If a community does not allow shared comments as posts, the option to select that community will be greyed out during the selection process.

See if you’re actually funny – or just early.

Now you can see how well your reply lands with comment insights. Available across all platforms and in , this tool gives you real-time data, including:

• Upvotes: The number of upvotes your comment has received.

• Upvote Ratio: The ratio of upvotes to downvotes on your comment.

• Replies: The number of replies to your comment.

• Views: How many times your comment has been viewed, including a geographical breakdown. 

• Shares: How many times people have shared your comment.

• Awards: The number of awards your comment has received.

Save it for later.

Accidentally swiped away mid-reply? Need more time to come up with the perfect response? Now you can automatically save your comment as a draft so you won’t lose progress.

Here’s how:

1. Click or tap the comment icon below a post or reply below a comment.

2. Type your response in the text box that appears. 

3. Your copy for the comment will automatically save to drafts in case you accidentally swipe off or exit or would like to wait to comment. 

4. You can then access your draft in your user profile under “drafts.” Drafts currently will not save gifs or images.

Bonus: Leveled-up desktop contribution.

Lastly, on desktop, we’ve added the ability for you to add text alongside images, videos, and link posts. 

We’re excited for you to try out these new features, and we’ll be in the comments if you have any questions.

P.S. Similar to our March , we have a separate post in with specific information for moderators. 

TL;DR: Starting today, you’ll have the option to curate which posts and comments are visible to others on your Reddit profile. Rollout begins today on iOS, Android, and web, and will continue to ramp up over the next few weeks.

Reddit is a place where you find community and connect with others based on what you’re passionate about. And let’s face it – what we’re passionate about can often have…range. But just because your Reddit activity reflects the diverse range of interests and aspects of your life, it doesn’t mean you always want everyone to be able to see everything you share on Reddit. 

Today we’re announcing updated profile settings that give you more control over which posts and comments are visible on your profile – and which ones aren’t. Whether you're a regular contributor in who wants to keep those posts within that subreddit, a proud fan theorist in eager to share your thoughts on what's happening to Mark S., or a premium lurker finally ready to comment but not ready to show those comments to the world – you decide what others see when they visit your profile.

What’s Changing

Updated Profile Setting

Previously, every post and comment made in a public subreddit was visible on your profile page. Moving forward, you’ll have more options to curate what others do and don’t see.

Under the “Content and activity” settings, you'll now see options to:

• Keep all posts and comments public (today’s default)

• Curate selectively: Choose which contributions appear on your profile (e.g., you can highlight your posts while keeping your posts private)

• Hide everything: Make all your posts and comments invisible on your profile

In addition to these new curation tools, the rest of your profile settings are now consolidated under Curate your profile, making it easier to manage everything in one place:

• NSFW toggle: Show or hide all posts and comments made in NSFW communities [NEW]

• Followers toggle: Show or hide your follower count

A Better Experience for Profile Visitors

We’re also updating how your profile appears to others. The refreshed profile experience includes:

• A redesigned activity summary with karma, post counts, and subreddit engagement all in one view

• A smarter Active In section that updates dynamically based on your Content and activity settings

Mod Visibility Permissions

Moderators often review user profiles before taking action in their communities. To support moderation needs, mods will retain some access regardless of your visibility settings. Here's how it works:

• If you post, comment, send modmail, request to be an approved poster, or request to join a private subreddit, that mod team will have access to your full profile content history for 28 days after the interaction – regardless of your settings.

• After 28 days, access reverts to your chosen visibility settings unless you interact with that subreddit again, in which case the 28-day timer resets.

• The same rule applies when you comment on another user’s profile – that user will have 28 days of access to your full profile content.

Why? This gives mods and profile owners the context they need when you engage in their subreddit or profile, while still respecting your choices elsewhere. You can read more about mod visibility permissions .

The Fine Print

• Changes to content visibility will only reflect on your profile. The content will still be viewable within the subreddits where you made the post or comment, as well as via search results, both on and off Reddit.

• The Content and activity setting applies at the subreddit level, not for individual posts or comments.

• The settings will be reflected across all platforms (including old Reddit), and can only be updated on and the mobile app. 

• As a moderator, you'll always see a redditor’s contributions to your subreddit, even after 28 days of inactivity.

What’s next?

This is just the beginning of evolving user profiles on Reddit. We’re continuing to invest in features that help you manage your identity and presence across the platform.

As always, we’ll be here today to answer any questions in the comments! Here’s your for making it to the end of the post.
