Reddit-style direct chat
Reddit Chat Mockup Maker
Reddit chats are often slow and spread over weeks. The sample shows that: a project update in March, a reply in May. Swap in your own usernames, messages and dates for a Reddit-story video or a community case study.

How to make it
- Open the Reddit template in the web editor or the Mimicly iPhone app.
- Replace the sample names, photos and text with your own.
- Adjust times, counts and appearance until the preview looks right.

Questions
How is this different from the Reddit comment template?
This one shows a private chat between two accounts. The comment template shows a public thread with votes and nested replies.
Can I turn it into a video?
Yes. Press Preview to watch the messages appear one by one, then Record to save the conversation as an MP4. On the web, recording works in desktop Chrome or Edge; on a phone, use the Mimicly iPhone app. Use image export when you only need a still frame.
Is this template free?
Yes. It is part of the free collection, and anyone can open, edit and export it without an account. Exports without Pro carry a small “Made with Mimicly” watermark. Sign in for three clean exports shared across images and recordings, or choose Pro (monthly or a one-time lifetime purchase) for watermark-free exports, higher resolution and share links.
Is Mimicly connected to Reddit?
No. Mimicly is an independent editor. It does not sign in to Reddit, send messages or read your account. Everything in the scene is written by you; use it for fictional scenes, examples and storyboards.
