Does SocialLite support Reddit? What the App Store says, and other ways to cut Reddit recommendations (2026)
SocialLite lists Reddit in its US App Store release notes, and minulo also opens Reddit with Popular, r/all and suggested posts hidden, for free. SocialLite's version 3.1.0 notes (July 27, 2026) say "New platform: Reddit", but its App Store description doesn't name Reddit or say which parts of Reddit it hides, so we couldn't confirm that. Reddit itself lets you turn off Show recommendations in home feed under Privacy in your account settings, though that covers Home only. Muting communities and turning off Trending posts notifications cover more.

What SocialLite's App Store page says about Reddit
In SocialLite's US version history, the notes for 3.1.0, released on July 27, 2026, start with "New platform: Reddit", followed by multiple accounts and posting features. Later notes don't mention Reddit again: the push notifications added in 3.1.2 are listed for Instagram and Snapchat.
The App Store description names Instagram and YouTube and says "other platforms". Under what gets blocked, it lists short-form video feeds, algorithmic recommendations and suggested content, Explore and discovery pages, live streams and shopping tabs, and ads. Under what you keep, it lists direct messages, profiles you visit, content friends send you and posting. It doesn't say which of these apply to Reddit, so we couldn't confirm whether SocialLite hides Reddit's Popular feed, r/all or recommended posts in Home.
SocialLite is free to download with in-app purchases: Pro from $6.99 to $17.99 a month or $19.99 to $47.90 a year, and a Family plan at $12.99 a month (checked 2026-10-26). It had 15,412 US ratings, averaging 4.7. More on its price is on is SocialLite free?
Turn off recommendations in Reddit itself
- In the Reddit app, tap your avatar, then the menu (three lines), then Settings.
- Tap your username under Account Settings.
- Scroll down to Privacy and turn off Show recommendations in home feed.
On reddit.com the same toggle is in your preferences. Reddit says these recommendations show up when Home is sorted by Best, and the toggle covers Home only: the Popular feed and trending notifications are separate. To keep a community out of Home, Popular and notifications, mute it from the overflow menu on its page (up to 1,000). To stop Trending posts notifications, go to Manage Notifications and switch them off under Recommendations. All the steps are on how to turn off Reddit recommendations.
Hide Popular and suggested posts with minulo
minulo is an iPhone app that opens Reddit's website inside the app. Hiding is free.

- Optional: in the Block tab, lock the official Reddit app with Screen Time, free for up to 2 hours per block. Its block screen has an Open in minulo button.
Limits, so you can decide honestly: Popular is hidden only inside minulo, and the official Reddit app doesn't change. While minulo locks the official app, Reddit's notifications don't arrive, and minulo sends none of its own. Schedules, longer blocks, Hard Mode and multiple block lists are in minulo Pro. minulo runs on iPhone and Mac, plus Chrome and Safari extensions, not Android, and it is new, with few ratings.
