The new feature comes after Reddit confidentially filed foran initial public offering in December. The company is aiming for at least a $15 billion valuation, Reuters has previously reported.
Reddit has 52 million daily users and is a popular online platform for people to gather in communities, or subreddits, to discuss interests such as finance, gardening and fitness.
The Discover tab will let users scroll through photos and videos from subreddits that are similar to ones they are already a part of. It is the first new tab on the app that the company has launched in nearly two years, Reddit said.
