Ever since we got hooked on Reddit, mainstream apps like Instagram and Facebook have dropped in the device time graph. But one thing bothers us. We took the time to curate and sign up for the subreddit list, but only let Reddit hit us with suggested posts. After a while it became annoying, but we managed to stop suggested posts on the Reddit feed.
It’s easy to turn off suggestions on the Reddit app, both on the web and on the mobile version. After you do that, your home screen feed will be free of suggestions. We’ll also show you how to turn off notifications for these posts. Let’s get started.
Why Reddit Suggests Posts and Sub-trends
That’s enough – we’ve given enough to Reddit even though we’ve just started writing this. Reddit really has good intentions wanting to recommend the posts to you. They are not sponsored. They are just posts that generate a lot of views, upvotes, and engagement in your particular area. So Reddit feels you might not want to miss it.
You also get suggested posts based on similar interests reflected in your current subscriptions.
But if FOMO has never been an issue for you and you strictly only view Reddit posts from subreddits you’re subscribed to, move on to the next section.
How to turn off suggested posts on Reddit
