From The Verge: Reddit is starting to test verified profiles, the company announced today. Users who are verified as part of this “limited alpha test” will have a gray checkmark next to their username “across profiles, communities, feeds, post detail pages, and search results.”
For this “initial test,” Reddit says it’s “selected a group of public figures and trusted partners,” and they’ll need to opt in, have accounts in good standing, and “actively contribute” on the platform. Reddit notes that verification “doesn’t grant special privileges.”
Currently, users can’t request verification. Businesses that already have the “Official” label that Reddit started testing in 2023 will have that replaced with the new gray checkmark.
