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 11 more in May). Here’s all the details, and how to unlock them all!
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 except the streak awards within a few minutes. The streak awards require up to 300 days of daily activity, so for now they’re still locked for me!
Achievements are greyed out until earned, when a full colour version is unlocked. They also have a progress indicator underneath.
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?
Building Community (6)
These are tricky to earn! They require long-term commitment so a single community, although I’m unsure what communities are eligible for this award.

Reddit Streak (11)
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:

Exploration (5)
These achievements are a little more challenging, with creating a 10 upvote post or comment being more challenging depending on which subreddits you joined. Past posts and comments are included in this, so you might rediscover a popular post you made years ago!

 Hometown Hero (Common) |
Have joined a country specific subreddit (e.g. r/UnitedKingdom) |
 Nice Comment (Common) |
Receive 10 upvotes on one of your comments |
 New Share (Common) |
Share a post outside of Reddit using the app’s “Share” button |

 Conversation Starter (Epic) |

Getting Started (7)
These are all very simple achievements that you’ll probably earn in your first time using the Reddit app! Historical actions don’t count, so you’ll need to repeat actions if you’ve completed them in the past (e.g. joining a subreddit).
