How To Block on Reddit

The Reddit blocking feature has previously failed to function like in other platforms. Although it has been there, it used to act as a mute button as it prevented you from interacting with a person’s post while the other party would see your posts and comments.

The guide has presented the steps involved when blocking a person on Reddit using a PC, Android, or iOS device. Also, frequent questions by users have been addressed!
