Does this look familiar to anyone?

I’ve received this message today for whatever reason. Don’t know why I got it and you can’t just reply to it so I’m asking you guys, where the hell did this come from?

Is there a way to find all usernames with a specific keyword?

I forgot name of my old account, but I remember it had the word "Rock" in it. Just searching "Rock" in search tab only gives a few usernames

How to edit/delete your comment when a thread is blocked.

For those who have not yet figured it out, simply navigate to old Reddit. You can use a desktop computer or access the desktop site on your mobile device, through any internet browser of your choice. Once on old Reddit, go to your comments, below the comment you want to edit, select the following options: permalink - save - context - full comments (00) - edit - disable inbox replies - delete

There you have it! Hope this helps!

Followers page not showing up (iOS on iPad)

If I click on followers on my profile page it just takes me to an old Reddit style page with a cartoon picture and 'Page not found, the page you requested does not exist'.

It used to show users when there were only a couple but recently will not show any. I'm not really bothered about numbers of followers but would like to be able to see who the few are! Any help appreciated.

Did something happen within the last 6 month Reddit only works properly about 25% of the time on desktop and mobile?

I've noticed within the last 6 months or so that probably around 75% of the time i go onto reddit on either mobile (Android) or through any browser on my PC I am constantly getting some type of error message, mostly saying a server error. Again this is on mobile through the Reddit Android app, the Windows app and when visiting the website on both Firefox and Edge browsers on my PC. What happened to reddit? This is a regular daily occurrence at this point.

Help with locked account

I had to create this account to actually get help with my original account.

I tried to get on Reddit today to find my account is locked. It says I just need to reset my password using the email link, but I no longer have access to the email I had on file. I tried to switch that email to my current email, but the verification email never got sent.

Is there anything I can do to get my account back?

Desktop, Can Reddit permanently stop accounts without even referencing post/comment or the type of accusation ?

They also don't respond to account grievance, so what kind of report should I use ? its really like lynching people without trail or even accusation !

Also why there is no ticket system, so users can follow up their reports or even reply to an email where a human can listen to justifications or misunderstandings.

search for past comments

I commented a couple times to a girl on Reddit whose name was Kirby. But when I do a Reddit search in my profile I cannot find those posts. Even if she deleted her posts my comments should still be there, right?

Throwaway commenting question

Hi, not new to Reddit but new to throwaways. I created a throwaway to comment on something specific I didn't want tied to my main. When I'm on my throwaway account, it looks like my comment is posted. But when I go back to my main, I don't see the comments left from my throwaway.

If the sub I'm in has karma requirements for posting, is there a way to find out what they are? Or is there any other reason I can't see my throwaway comments from my main? Am I missing something?

is there an option to schedule posts on Reddit web browser?

I have the issue of being in a very different time zone compared to most of the music subs i post to, so im always posting when they are asleep.

Is there such a scheduling option?

What does being downvoted mean?

Since I started on Reddit, I have had a few upvotes (yay) and a few downvotes. How seriously should I take the downvotes? While I want to get my questions answered, I also want to contribute positively to discussions on the site. When I am downvoted, I wonder if I unintentionally did something wrong, or if the downvoter just disagrees with me--completely his/her privilege, but hopefully less damaging than the former. Any way to tell? I just like to learn things.

ETA: Thank you all. It's apparently as I hoped. If someone has serious issues with what I say, please let me know in a reply. I know all too well that I don't know everything!

Every once in a while, Reddit freezes loading in Chrome, but other tabs not affected.

Sometimes I see a Chrome update waiting for me, and download. Restart fixes it.

But more often there is no update, and restart still fixes the loading. Is there a simple setting I'm missing?

2FA Codes

Sooooo, I see quite a few posts with issues similar/same as mine: Backup codes not recognized. Unfortunately, discerning a definitive solution from responses isn’t there. What can we do when we need to close all open accesses and establish new backup codes when authenticator isn’t working?
