Reddit provided a sneak preview of what the ability for Redditors to view and manage their followers will look like.

The platform said the feature will debut in May, adding that when Redditors visit their profiles, a link under their description will show them the number of followers they have and take them to a searchable list of those followers, in order from newest to oldest.
