A guide to unlocking all of the Reddit app's new achievements ⭐
In April 2024, Reddit added 18 achievements to the mobile app, grouped into 3 categories (and added 30+ more & outfits later). Here’s all the details, and how to unlock all 57 achievements!
What are achievements?
Whilst completing common activities within the Reddit app, you’ll occasionally see a small pop-up in the middle of the screen informing you that a new achievement has been unlocked. Tapping this will take you to the “Achievements” screen, also accessible by tapping your icon in the top right and selecting “Achievements”.
Some of these achievements are unlocked based on past activity (e.g. I unlocked “Nice Comment” on a 6-year-old post), whilst others always need to be earned (e.g. “Search Explorer” for tapping search results). Each has a somewhat arbitrary rarity of “Common”, “Rare”, “Epic”, or “Legendary”.
Most are pretty straightforward, and I unlocked all in the initial batch except the streak awards within a few minutes. The streak awards require up to 500 days of daily activity, so for now they’re still locked for me!
A later update added displaying the “Top X%” achievements next to a user’s name when they post / comment in the subreddit they earned the achievement in:
Interestingly, if you view an achievement, you can see the comment / subreddit that earned you the achievement, as well as what number user you were to unlock it. Finally, you can also share an earned achievement (or current streak), giving you an image (with toggleable username & avatar) to post… on Reddit?
You can also view other people’s achievements via their profile.
Does anyone hunt them?
A whole community of active achievement hunters has sprung up at r/redditachievments!
Over there, tactics for unlocking achievements are discussed, along with updates on new achievements, and even a weekly leaderboard of top achievement hunters. Moderators (especially u/EndersGame_Reviewer) keep an eagle eye out for any new content, and maintain their own achievement list & help others achieve.
The subreddit has been invaluable for this article, and I usually hear about new achievements via it. I also use it to find users with rarer achievements so I can get screenshots!
Outfits?
Yep! An update in October 2024 made one achievement in each category unlock an “outfit” of 7 items for your reddit avatar (left item, right item, hat, glasses, face, top, bottom). These are limited to 25,000 redeems.
 Community Captain Unlocked with Rising Star achievement (Building Community) |

Building Community (15)
These are tricky to earn! They require long-term commitment to a single community, and a later update added progress indicators:
Note the 10% achievements are more common than the 25% achievements (Rare vs Legendary) due to being released far earlier.

Reddit Streak (13)
The streak achievements are simple loyalty rewards, requiring some sort of active action every day for weeks on end. This is the only achievement category to have a progress indicator at the top, in addition to the usual per-achievement progress:
Note that the last couple of achievements cannot be obtained yet, as the achievements have not been out long enough. The 300-day achievement was earned by u/Speedy1904 on the 7th September, so the 500 day should be available 26th March!

Exploration (22)
These achievements are a little more challenging, with 100,000 upvotes being almost impossible! Interestingly, past posts and comments often are included in this, so you might rediscover a popular post you made years ago.
The sharing achievements can actually be obtained easily, by just tapping “share” and “copy link” repeatedly on the mobile app. As such, 1,000 shares will take 10-15 minutes of dedicated tapping.
Since the banana achievements are relatively new (late October 2024), I’m not sure exactly how far 1 million banana lengths is! However, considering I achieved the 1,000 banana lengths the day the achievement came out, hopefully the achievements aren’t too tricky. There also seems to be a daily limit (maybe 20,000 per day?).
