How to hide posts on Reddit (one post, a subreddit, or a topic)
To hide a post on Reddit, click the three dots on it and choose Hide; it drops out of your feed, and only your view changes. To hide more than one post at a time, mute the community or block the account. Reddit has no way to hide posts by keyword, so here’s what to do about whole topics.
Updated November 2, 20261. Hide one post
- On the post, click or tap the three dots (the overflow menu).
- Choose Hide.
On reddit.com, pressing H hides the post you’re on. Hiding only affects you: the post stays up for everyone else, and nobody is told.
Reddit is testing a different design with some people: an X on each post in the Home feed in place of Hide. It hides the post and also tells Reddit to show you less of that kind of thing, with an Undo if you tap it by mistake.
2. Find posts you’ve hidden
On reddit.com, open your profile and choose the Hidden tab. Every post you’ve hidden is there, and you can unhide any of them. If you can’t find hidden posts in the app, use reddit.com in a browser.
3. Hide more than one post at a time
- Show fewer posts like this: on a recommended post, open the three dots and choose it. Reddit says it stops recommending that community and tries to show fewer from similar ones.
- Mute the community: on the community’s page, open the three dots and choose Mute r/…. Its posts stop showing in your Home and Popular feeds. See how to block a subreddit for every way to do it.
- Block the account: on someone’s profile, open the three dots and choose Block account. Reddit says their posts won’t show up in any feeds, and their comments are collapsed.
- Turn off recommendations: in your account settings you can switch off home feed recommendations, so Home only shows communities you joined. In the app, it’s under Privacy in your account settings.
What Reddit can’t hide: a topic
Every one of those works on a single post, a whole community or a whole account. None of them works on a subject. Reddit doesn’t have a setting that hides posts containing a word or about a topic, across your feed. Moderators have keyword tools for their own communities, but there’s nothing like muted words for your feed.
So if what you want gone is the election, a TV show you haven’t finished, or crypto, it keeps coming back through communities you can’t mute without losing things you like. Our guide to filtering keywords on Reddit covers the workarounds.
Hide a topic across all of Reddit
Remedy is a Chrome extension that filters Reddit as you browse. Tell it, in your own words, what you’re done seeing, like “no spoilers for the show I’m watching”, “nothing about the election” or “no crypto hype”, and it removes matching posts and comments as they load, whichever subreddit they’re in. It understands meaning, not just exact words, and its popup lists everything it took out.
It works on a computer, in Chrome, not in the Reddit app. It filters X, YouTube, Instagram and other sites too.
Questions
Can other people see that I hid a Reddit post?
No. Hiding only changes what you see. The post stays up for everyone else.
How do I unhide a post on Reddit?
On reddit.com, open your profile and choose the Hidden tab. Every post you’ve hidden is listed there, and you can unhide each one.
Can I hide Reddit posts by keyword?
Not with Reddit’s own settings. Muting works on whole communities and blocking on whole accounts, so hiding a topic takes a filter like a browser extension.
