Reddit opened up the waitlist for its new Reddit Developer Platform, calling it a suite of resources and tools that will empower and enable developers to support the platform’s 100,000-plus active communities and millions of users.

The company explained in a blog post, “Currently, third-party developers on Reddit operate primarily as siloed resources for the communities they care about, utilizing limited resources and ad-hoc support. The Reddit Developer Platform will change all of this. The platform will serve as an avenue for third-party developers to build meaningful Reddit extensions that our users will love.”

Reddit said the focus of its developer team will be on creating offerings that improve flexibility, performance and support for third-party developers, adding that chief product officer Pali Bhat said earlier this year that supporting and working with developers will only make Reddit more extensible and make using the platform better for everyone.
