Reddit’s upgraded AMA posts are rolling out this week
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. Creators of the posts can also add up to five cohosts, whose answers are tagged as such in the comments section. When the AMA is over, hosts can also add an ending note with closing thoughts, links, or final promotional info.
For ordinary site users, a new RSVP option will let them get notifications so they don’t miss one. 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:
