Reddit is updating its app to focus more on comments

The tweaks suggest Reddit is working to encourage more engagement via comments and beyond simply reading or viewing posts — but it could lead to some missed context. In other words, this new feature may lead some people to miss details in a post if they click the comments icon by habit or forget to scroll up.
