How to Customize Reddit

Here’s a guide how to Customize Reddit so you can get the most out of it. You can find the latest news on Reddit and talk to communities about almost anything. But because there are so many subreddits and the platform is so popular, your home feed can quickly become too much to handle. We are sorry if you don’t know about the social news website Reddit.

Sorry it took you so long to find out about one of the best websites on the Internet. Sorry you missed out on it when the online community was smaller and closer. Most of all, though, we’re sorry that we’re the ones who showed you such a huge productivity black hole. People often say that Reddit is the home page of the internet.

For us, it is where the internet starts. It was started in 2005 and has since grown into a storehouse of wit, humor, and everything else that makes up the internet. Reddit is only getting bigger because 2018 was a good year for it. You can also go to the official Reddit support site to know more information.

How to Customize Reddit

Change your Reddit username on desktop

• Open your preferred web browser on your Mac or PC and go to the Reddit homepage.
• Click on the dropdown arrow in the top right corner and select Profile in the list of options.
• You’ll then see a pop-up, asking you if you want to change your username. Click on Change Username.
• Enter your new username, making sure it’s between 3 to 23 characters and click on Continue. Pay attention to the red text underneath the textbox, as it will inform you if the username you’re entering is acceptable.
• Since this will be your username forever, Reddit will ask you if you’re sure you want to keep it. If you are, click on Save Username.

Change a Reddit username on the mobile app

• Open the Reddit app on your Android or iOS device.
• Tap the profile icon in the top right.
• Select My profile from the list of account options.
• Reddit will show you a pop-up asking you if you want to keep your assigned username or change it. Tap on Change username.
• Enter your new username and make sure it is between 3 and 23 characters. Also, pay attention to the red text above – it will let you know the criteria your username must meet to be acceptable. Once done, tap on Next in the top right.
• Reddit will ask you if you’re sure you want to keep the username forever. If you’re certain, tap on Save username.

Creating and switching between a secondary account

If you already chose a username and don’t like it, the only thing you can do is make a new account and use that one instead. You don’t even have to delete your old account because you can have both at the same time.

• Open the Reddit homepage on your favorite browser on PC or Mac.
• Log out of your existing account by clicking on the dropdown arrow in the top right corner.
• From the options in the dropdown, click on Log Out at the bottom.
• Back on the Reddit homepage, click on Sign Up in the top right corner.
• Enter your email address and click on Continue.
• Enter your username and password and click on Sign Up in the bottom right when you’re done.

Reddit won’t make you verify your email address when you make a new account, but it’s a good idea. After making an account, you can switch between them.

• Open the Reddit app on your smartphone.
• Tap on the profile icon in the top right.
• Tap on Settings at the bottom.
• Under the Account Settings, tap your username.
• Under Basic Settings, tap on Switch accounts.
• Select the secondary account you wish to use.
