One of the reasons why Reddit is popular among social media users is because it offers knowledge on a wide range of topics.
You can discuss issues in politics, entertainment, medicine, technology, religion, and more with other users.
If you want to write a post containing bullet points, it can be challenging if you don’t know how to navigate the formatting menu on the desktop version.
The mobile app version is even more challenging because it lacks a formatting menu.
So how do you make bullets on Reddit?
To make bullets on the Reddit desktop version, start creating a new post or comment and tap the bulleted list option in the formatting menu. If you use the mobile app, add a dash (“-“) and a space to make the bullet point.
We prepared this article to show you how to make bullets on the Reddit desktop and mobile app.
Overview of Making Bullets on Reddit
Reddit is popular among users because it’s a source of a wide range of content, from astronomy, politics, technology, entertainment, religion, culture, and more.
The desktop version’s formatting is easier because it offers a text formatting menu. Before publishing the post, the menu lets you add bullets, quotes, tables, headings, and more effects.
On the other hand, the Reddit mobile app can be challenging because it lacks a text formatting menu. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t format your text before publishing the post.
That said, this Reddit formatting guide can help you figure out how to format your text as you, please. The guide shows you how to write your text to achieve various effects on your post.
These effects include underlining, bolding, italicizing, striking through, adding quotes, subscripts, superscripts, linking, and creating headings.
How To Make Bullets on Reddit?
We will divide this tutorial into two: making bullets in the desktop and mobile app versions.
Making Bullets on Reddit Desktop Version
Follow these steps:
- Navigate to Reddit on your favorite browser.
- Click on “Create Post” on the right side.
- Choose a community you want to post to.
- Type your post’s title.
- Go to the text section and start writing your post.
- Before writing the bullet points, click the bulleted list icon (three lines with bullets in front) on the formatting menu.
- Write your first bullet point and press Enter to go to the next point, and so on.
- Click “Post” to publish the post.
Making Bullets on Reddit Mobile Version
Follow these steps:
- Open the Reddit app on your mobile device.
- Tap the “+” button at the bottom.
- Type your post’s title.
- Write your text post in the text box below the title.
- Put a dash and a space (“- “) to make a bullet point (For example, “- Point one”).
- Tap the Enter button to go to the following line and repeat the above step to make a bullet point.
- When you’re done making bullet points, tap the “Next” button.
- Choose the community you want to share the post with.

There is a difference between a dash (-) and an underscore (_). Additionally, you only need to put one space between the dash and the first word of your bullet point. Clicking the spacebar on your keyboard more than once might give you different results.
You can also use the same methods to add bullets in Reddit comments. You might need to press the “…” button on the desktop in the formatting menu first.
