On the heels of Clubhouse\u2019s latest fundraise<\/a>, Reddit today officially unveiled<\/a> its Clubhouse rival Reddit Talk following a recent report from Mashable that revealed<\/a> the company had been developing audio-based social networking features. Like many of the newly launched Clubhouse clones, Reddit\u2019s voice chat experience hasn\u2019t deviated much from Clubhouse\u2019s overall design where speakers sit at the top of the screen in a stage area of sorts, and listeners appear below \u2014 all with rounded profile icons, plus tools to react or raise a hand to ask to speak.<\/p>\n

In Reddit\u2019s case, however, it\u2019s repurposed this Clubhouse-style format for its own communities, known as subreddits. Initially, Reddit Talk will live within subreddits, which are individual forums focused on a given topic or theme. Those community\u2019s moderators will be the only ones able to start a talk for the time being, as the audio feature is still being tested, Reddit says.<\/p>\n

These moderators will be given tools that allow them to invite users to join, mute participants, and remove speakers during the live sessions. They can also ban unwanted users from the talk entirely and stop them from being able to rejoin.<\/p>\n

Although only the subreddit moderators can start talks, once they are underway, they can invite anyone they choose to join them to speak. The other users can listen to the Reddit Talk sessions across both iOS and Android.<\/p>\n

While the overall style is very much Clubhouse-like, Reddit has added its own touches. For example, users can react to speakers using a different set of emojis than you might find on rival services. Reddit\u2019s product images today showed reactions that included popular Reddit designs like a rocket ship, the Reddit alien, and the diamond emoji, among others. Reddit says it\u2019s currently testing a way for moderators to customize the background colors and the emoji used in their own communities when they launch Reddit Talk. They\u2019re also able to change their own avatar\u2019s appearance to fit the talk, too.<\/p>\n

Reddit suggests the new audio features will make sense for things like QAs, AMAs, lectures, sports radio-style discussions, community feedback sessions or even just hangouts.<\/p>\n

The company is currently developing other features designed specifically to support AMAs and other types of conversations, it also noted.<\/p>\n

In the comments of the Reddit Talk announcement, Reddit responded to questions from users about why it\u2019s doing this, and acknowledged the Clubhouse similarities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that there is more to offer here by letting users have real-time live voice discussions with others in their communities \u2014 maybe talking about a sporting event while it\u2019s on TV or listening to a casual chat or AMA with field experts,\u201d Reddit\u2019s Product Lead for creators <\/a>wrote. \u201cYes, there are a few different platforms diving into live audio right now. Our hope is that by announcing this early with a community-first design, we will see engaging conversations hosted first by moderators, who we\u2019ll be working with closely to ensure we\u2019re creating a unique, supportive, and positive user experience,\u201d the comment read.<\/p>\n

There are more than a \u201cfew\u201d other platforms now building out Clubhouse clones at this point, of course. Facebook has several tools on the way, Twitter has Spaces, and there are audio platforms in various stages of development from Discord, Telegram, Spotify and even LinkedIn, in the works.<\/p>\n

Reddit Talk is not publicly available as it\u2019s in a test period. But community moderators can join a waitlist<\/a> to be alerted as to when they can try out the feature for themselves. After the test period, Reddit says it will work with moderators to allow other trusted users to host talks through the new feature, too.<\/p>\n
