Reddit Updates

What I meant was that most users now upload photos and videos on reddit itself instead of link to external services.
 
yes the self hosted content is the problem specially videos. Most of the time they are not even very high quality, most are ripped from some other place.

Images usually load fine on first page but as you open a thread depending upon image it will take a sec to minute to load.

This is trace route to their two servers used for serving media, looks fine to me. 🤷‍♂️

there is no consistency sometime it works, their system automatically degrades the video quality even if I select manually HD quality 🤷‍♂️ its messed up.

P.S. for me all media is served from their fastly BOM cdn server and routing to it looks so I don't understand what is the problem. I think its over optimization that they keep serving you shit quality from cache.
 
We wanted to give you a heads up about a new feature that we are launching this week called “Start Chatting.” This past month, as people around the world have been at home under various shelter-in-place restrictions, redditors have been using chat at phenomenal new levels. Whether it’s about topics related to COVID-19, local news, or just their favorite games and hobbies, people all around the world are looking for others to talk to. Since Reddit is in a unique position to help in this situation, we’ve created a new tool that makes it easier to find other people who want to talk about the same things you do.

Redditors can visit a community and click on the ‘Start Chatting’ prompt, which will then match them with other members of that community in a small group chat. In our testing, we’ve already seen some interesting use cases for Start Chatting, such as meeting new people within conversation-oriented communities, discussing cliffhangers from the latest episode in our TV show communities, or finding others to game with online. We’re excited to see other use cases emerge as more and more redditors get access to this feature.
