Every day, over 57 million daily active unique visitors engage with more than 100,000 active communities on Reddit, and to date, have contributed more than 13 billion pieces of content (posts and comments) worldwide. Starting today, we’re rolling out new features to make it easier for redditors and publishers to share content on and off Reddit.
New ways for people to more easily share Reddit content
Previously, when a person came across a post, conversation, or meme on Reddit that was so incredible and impossible not to share, we didn’t make it easy to send it to others. If we’re being honest, the features were outdated, and it took multiple steps to share anything from Reddit. But that’s changing – in line with our work to make Reddit easier to use, redditors can now quickly and easily share Reddit content they love on other social platforms without compromising their Reddit identity.
On Reddit’s native apps for iOS and Android, you’ll now find:
An updated ‘shared link’ preview for text posts that redditors have shared via messaging services. The appearance of the shared post now includes a visual preview of the content, the subreddit name, and total upvotes and comments.

The ability to share content directly from Reddit to Instagram Stories without having to first screenshot or download content.

A new custom ‘share sheet’ featuring the redditor’s most used sharing channels which appears when the user click on the share icon under a post, making it easier to publish without having to leave Reddit.

A one-tap screenshot-sharing experience that allows users to share content without saving images to their device – meaning they can link back to the content rather than only sending a screenshot.

Making sharing easier for publishers with new embed links
To make sharing easier for publishers, we’re introducing a new toolbox that makes it easier to display Reddit content on their own platforms.
This new toolbox comes with easy-to-use, self-serve tooling and includes features that clearly outline the predictable height of a post or comment, more prominently showcase the community the content is from and display the total tally of upvotes and comments. Publishers can also now add a call to action to join the conversation. Publishers can learn more here.
By making it easier for users and publishers to share and link back to Reddit content, we continue building on our mission to grow and help more people find community, belonging, and empowerment – by engaging in the topics that matter to them most.
