About Reddit

Reddit is the community site at reddit.com. On October 29, 2026, CEO Steve Huffman said in the Q3 shareholder letter that Reddit is shifting to a logged-in-only experience. Testing begins in select markets outside the US in Q4 2026, and those tests are meant to shape a global version.

The letter does not give a worldwide date. On the earnings call he said people should still get a taste of Reddit on the homepage, and that shared links should keep working. Axios reports that the homepage and content opened from search or a shared link stay viewable while logged out, that a logged-in account does not require a real name, and that incognito mode in the app is being rebuilt as read-only.

The Q3 release says daily active uniques were 130.3 million.

Pricing: Reddit is free to use. Checked November 1, 2026, from the October 29 shareholder materials.
