According to the blog post it's new today:

https://www.redditinc.com/blog/evolving-the-reddit-brand-a-m...

"We’re introducing new bespoke typefaces, Reddit Display, and Reddit Sans."

View on HN

First commit was on April 7, 2020 https://github.com/reddit/redditsans/commit/08de53e01be8e8c2...

Was that public or announced or the final typeface though?

Why would Reddit say they're announcing this now, otherwise?

Reddit has been using these fonts internally for a few years in their marketing. They were not available to the public. They have been made available this week, hence the announcement. (The Github repo was made public a few weeks ago in preparation for adding them to the Google Fonts service.)
