Reddit's search function has seen a 30% year-on-year increase in usage, according to CEO Steve Huffman. The company has invested heavily in its search engine and added AI features to help users find what they're looking for. The social platform ended the quarter with more than 493 million weekly active unique users (WAUq), up 23% from the same period last year, and about 126 million daily active users (DAU) - a 17% improvement from the previous year. Additionally, the company's machine translation feature has also contributed significant user growth.
