March 6 (Reuters) - Reddit ( RDDT ) on Thursday launched

new tools aimed at helping people adhere to community rules and

better understand content performance, in a bid to revive user

growth after a recent slowdown.

The social media platform, like its larger rival Meta

, is investing in new tools to attract more users and

stave off competition in a crowded market.

Reddit ( RDDT ) said its "rules check" feature, currently in testing

on iOS and Android, will allow users to comply with specific

subreddit rules. This will help users adjust their posts and

avoid removal.

A new post recovery feature will let users repost

content to an alternative subreddit if their original post is

removed for rule violations.

Reddit ( RDDT ) will also offer subreddit recommendations based on

post content and inform users about criteria required to post in

particular communities.

The company said its improved post insights feature will

provide metrics on a post's performance, showing users

engagement statistics and audience interactions to improve

future posts.

In December, Reddit ( RDDT ) launched an AI-powered search tool

called Reddit Answers, currently in beta, to a limited number of

users in the U.S., which provides curated summaries of community

discussions.
