Reddit is one of the most influential platforms on the internet, and your Reddit profile says more than you think. Before someone engages with your post or comment, they often click your username first.
Knowing how to curate your Reddit profile helps you control what people see and how you’re perceived.
This guide explains how Reddit profile curation works, the available visibility options, and how to update your settings.
Why Curating Your Reddit Profile Matters
Your Reddit profile shows:
- Posts you’ve created
- Comments you’ve made
- Communities you’re active in
Curating your profile helps you:
- Protect your privacy
- Highlight relevant contributions
- Keep personal and professional activity separate
Reddit Profile Visibility Options
Reddit gives you three options to manage what appears on your profile.
1. Show All
Displays:
- All posts
- All comments
- All active communities
Best for users who want full transparency.
2. Customize
Lets you choose:
- Which posts appear
- Which comments are visible
- Which communities show
Best for creators, professionals, and anyone active in multiple topics.
3. Hide All
Hides:
- All posts
- All comments
- All community activity
Best for privacy-focused users.
Note for businesses:
A fully hidden profile can hurt credibility. On Reddit, empty profiles often look suspicious and yes, you might get roasted!
How to Curate Your Reddit Profile
- Go to Settings
- Open the Profile tab
- Scroll down to the Curate your profile section
- Choose Show All, Customize, or Hide All
Changes save automatically.
NSFW Content Visibility
In the Curate your profile section, you can manage NSFW posts and comments.
- Turn this OFF to keep NSFW content invisible on your profile if you are participating in NSFW communities.
- This is useful for keeping your profile clean or professional.
This setting works independently from Show All, Customize, and Hide All.
Which Option Should You Choose?
- Show All: Maximum visibility
- Customize: Balanced control
- Hide All: Maximum privacy
If you’re unsure, Customize is usually the safest choice.
