Reddit is overhauling how its “ask me anything” question-and-answer posts with notable people and celebrities work, adding scheduling, reminders, and new “live” badges.
Reddit’s “ask me anything” posts, or AMAs, could feel more like special events than standard posts with a twist, thanks to changes that go sitewide on Thursday. While none of the updates reflect a total overhaul, they do put a new kind of emphasis on the popular Q&A sessions. Starting on Thursday, a new AMA tab will offer special options like the ability to schedule and promote an AMA in a single post.
Once the AMA is live, new tabs let readers filter comments by questions the hosts have answered or those they haven’t. Also, scheduled AMAs will get labels noting if they’re coming soon, already live, or have passed. Here’s an image gallery with some of the changes: Reddit has been testing its new format for a while, so you can see how it works in a few AMAs.
