“How do I get Reddit to automatically refresh new comments in a thread?”
In this guide I’ll be going through the steps on how to get new Reddit comments to show automatically without manually refreshing the browser.
There are a few ways to auto-refresh new reddit comments by using the ‘reddit-stream.com‘ link. Go to any Reddit comment thread and replace the ‘reddit.com’ part of the URL address with ‘reddit-stream.com’. Or just simply type in ‘-stream’ into the ‘reddit[-stream].com/comments/xxxxxxx’.
My favorite way to show new Reddit comments automatically is by using the bookmarklet. Click and drag the ‘reddit stream’ bookmark onto your browser toolbar. Next time you’re in a Reddit thread and want to view the newest comments automatically simply click on this bookmarklet from your web browser toolbar.
I’ve been using this method for years and it works great for popular reddit threads with a lot of new comments every coming in. I like to use it for live events such as the UFC or other live sporting events.
