Reddit’s October 28, 2026 announcement introduces For You and Following feeds, with a global rollout over the following few weeks. For You combines posts from joined communities with interest-based recommendations. The announcement describes Following as showing posts from communities you have joined.

Choose the job for this visit
If your goal is to catch up with familiar communities, Following is the option described for that purpose. If you want to find additional communities and conversations, For You is the discovery option. The choice concerns what you want from this visit; one feed does not have to serve every browsing task.
For example, imagine that you have ten minutes to check discussions in communities you already joined. Start by naming that goal before opening the feed. On a different visit, you might deliberately look for an unfamiliar hobby community. These are suggested browsing choices, not a promise about the relevance of any particular post.
Check the label and your return visit
Reddit says users can switch between the feeds and that reopening Reddit returns them to the one last viewed. If the new choices are visible in your account, select the feed you intend to use and check its label. On your next visit, compare the visible selection with the one you left.
Keep the observation simple: device, app or browser version, date, selected feed and the feed shown when you returned. If the result differs from the announcement, those details give support a clearer report than saying that the whole feed is wrong. No account setting needs to be changed merely to write down what happened.
A rollout is not an account-level confirmation
The company’s stated rollout window does not establish that every account already has the new experience. Check the interface you actually have before following instructions that assume both choices are present. This article does not establish a separate rollout date for India or a universal completion date.
Also keep feed membership and post ordering as separate questions. The cited announcement describes which communities contribute posts; that description alone does not establish chronological ordering, an exhaustive list of every post or the removal of every other kind of interface content.
A useful first check is therefore narrow: identify your browsing goal, inspect the selected feed and observe what happens on a return visit. Compare any unexpected behavior with current Reddit guidance. No signed-in account, mobile app or feed-personalization behavior was tested for this article.
