- Reddit lets you add a link via your profile bio (250 chars) and a dedicated "Social Links" section that supports up to 5 clickable links.
- Bio links are not clickable in old.reddit — only on new Reddit and the mobile app.
- For multiple links (your YouTube, Discord, store, newsletter), use a single link-in-bio URL like UniLink.
Method 1 — Add Social Links to Your Reddit Profile
- Open reddit.com and click your avatar → Edit Profile.
- Scroll to Social Links.
- Click + Add Social Link.
- Pick a platform (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, etc.) or Custom URL.
- Paste your URL and add a label.
- Click Save.
Reddit allows up to 5 social links per profile. They appear as buttons under your profile name.
Method 2 — Add a Link in Your Reddit Bio Text
- Open your profile (reddit.com/user/yourname).
- Click Edit Profile.
- In About, type your bio (250 char limit).
- Paste a URL — it will be clickable on new Reddit and mobile.
- Click Save.
Limitation: URLs in bio text are not clickable on old.reddit.com. Older Reddit users will see the URL as plain text. For maximum reach, use Method 1 (Social Links) instead.
Method 3 — Add a Link in Your Subreddit Sidebar
If you moderate a subreddit:
- Mod Tools → Community Settings.
- About → edit description.
- Use Markdown:
[Visit our Discord](https://unil.ink/yourname). - Save.
Sidebar links are clickable everywhere — old.reddit, new Reddit, and mobile.

Why Use a Link-in-Bio Page on Reddit
Reddit caps social links at 5. If you have more than 5 destinations (YouTube, Twitch, Discord, store, newsletter, IG, TikTok), one link-in-bio URL fits everything:
- Use slot 1 for "All My Links" →
unil.ink/yourname. - Use the other 4 for top-priority platforms.
- Track which links Redditors actually click.
Reddit and Self-Promotion Rules
Many subreddits enforce "10:1 rule" — at most 1 self-promotion post per 10 community-contribution posts. Linking to your profile (which has your bio link) does not violate this rule, because your profile is the entry point Reddit itself shows.
Best practice: contribute to subreddits genuinely. People who like your comments will visit your profile — and your bio link.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add a clickable link to Reddit bio?
Yes — through Social Links (5 max, clickable everywhere) or in bio text (clickable only on new Reddit + mobile).
How many links can you add to Reddit profile?
Up to 5 social links via the Social Links section, plus URLs in bio text (250 char limit).
Why aren't links in my Reddit bio clickable?
URLs in About text are plain text on old.reddit.com. Use Social Links for maximum compatibility.
Can you add a Discord link to your Reddit profile?
Yes — Edit Profile → Social Links → + Add → Discord (or Custom URL).
Does Reddit ban accounts that promote external links?
Reddit allows external links in profiles. Spammy posts that only link out can violate subreddit rules — but profile bio links don't trigger spam filters.
