Kind of like how discord assigns roles for members to access other parts of the server & have more perms. Just a thought!

Dear Reddit,

Just because I joined my direct community subreddit, and it is an American B-size city, does not mean I am interested in other city's subreddits. I do not live near them, and do not care about them.

I have muted so many of them that now I am getting ones outside of America. It would be cool if this would stop. It would be cooler if somehow your program would take into account the subreddits I muted as well as posts I engage with.

Still enjoying the space, -E

I think this feature is long overdue; we all still have a bunch of notifications in our inboxes and we can't de-clutter them; also to be able to delete private messages will be a nice addition.

Marijuana product ads should be included with alcohol or have their own category in the sensitive ads toggles.

I'm assuming these ads are region based due to local laws, but they should have an opt out, they carry the same possible concerns as gambling and alcohol ads.

I didn’t know where to post this and found this subreddit.

Reddit has become a digital content originating social media. Reddit needs to have good feature that lets us sort top posts by per year, so we could see trends over the years. Such as we can easily find out memes that were popular in 2015.

Reddits PM's, please take a note.

An idea: add it so the OP of the subreddit can pin his own comment, if he forgot to write something on the sub. Currently, the only way for it to be on the top is to be the most upvoted. Not very efficient. :(

It seems a little strange that it does nothing once you're in a thread, especially if you're viewing a comment you made before (which doesn't even go to the single comment thread by default).

Sometimes I'm 15 posts deep and I want to go back to my home feed.

The only way I've found to do that is to press the back button 15 times, or completely kill the app and start from fresh.

Can you add a more convenient way of getting back to home?

I have never seen an app anywhere without this feature, except for Reddit. Maybe it's by design to keep us doom scrolling forever.

That's what this is.

I hate the recent update with the left column that I can't make go away and the subreddit banners that don't span the whole page. I have a 27" 4K monitor. Reddit already took (at most) half of the available horizontal space, but now with the banners shrunk, it's a weird lonely island in the middle of the page and I f***ing hate it.

I'm generally down for UI changes, and I vastly preferred the UI of like 2 weeks ago over "old" reddit. This change makes me genuinely sad, especially the left column trying to be YouTube but forgetting that YouTube lets you hide it.

*edit*

Looks like the UI I'm used to is now under new.reddit.com. Keep this alive and I guess it's fine, though I've never had to add "new" to the url before, and it seems weird that the "new" ui would suddenly be hidden behind a subdomain.

I really just want to change my user name just once. When joining reddit years ago I had no idea what I was doing when signing up and have been left with a user name given to me.

Reddit let a user change there username 1 or 2 times per age of account 🤔

There's an option to return to "old reddit" in preferences, but I've been forcefully changed from a UI that I liked to one that gives me a headache. I was using new.reddit for a while to continue browsing and even tried to get used to the redesign but honestly I hate it, and actively dislike being on the site now.

We need to have an additional option to return to the previous layout.

I know that Old Reddit is more or less deprecated, but it feels silly that there are so many differences in how Markdown is actually parsed. The most recognizable one is probably the WYSIWYG editor from New Reddit escaping underscores in bare URLs. But I've found at least two others.

• New Reddit tries to pair unescaped parentheses in URLs, while Old Reddit looks for the first unescaped close parenthesis. So if you don't escape anything, it breaks on Old Reddit, but if you follow the old fix of escaping close parentheses, it will break on New Reddit. You actually need to escape all parentheses to make it work on both

• Block spoilers. Writing spoilers like >!this!< works on both versions of the site, but I just learned that adding an unclosed >! to the beginning of a paragraph only makes the entire paragraph a spoiler on Old Reddit. This feels especially silly, because I don't think that syntax even existed until New Reddit.

I actually do tend to prefer New Reddit's parser, because I think some of the rules are more intuitive. But as someone who prefers Old Reddit's layout, the differences cause no end in confusion

Very often when I collapse a comment thread I end up pointing at a random user's nickname from below with my mouse cursor, which shows me a popup of that user's info that gets in the way and that I absolutely don't need to see, which is annoying. The need to look at a user's profile is rare for most people, clicking on it is enough.

P.S. also, it's weird that Reddit doesn't have a way to send feedback.

I have heard from many users that deleting posts or comments This does not mean that both posts and comments have disappeared from the system. But other users will still be able to see the post. But it's written as delete instead. I don't understand why that is. Therefore, I would like to help improve the system when posts and comments are deleted. Messages will disappear from the system as if they were never posted or commented on before.

I really have no interest in seeing people or animals harmed and those kinds of videos are traumatic and should be separated from other nsfw content.

The newest (terrible) UI must be improved, and this is one of the big ones for me.

If I select a text in a comment, and click reply, it should be presented as a quote in my reply box, like it was. That was such a useful timesaver.

Most social media sites allow far greater control over the ads you see. You can select an option on an ad you don't like to see fewer of that kind of ad, they have more opt out options, and some even let you stop seeing specific advertisers. Reddit even has a few ad categories you can opt out of already, but they don't really cover the most contentious ad categories as they stand.

In addition, continuing to run ads to users that report them makes no sense as it is wasting money advertising to people that do not want to see the ad and will not engage with it. Reddit is throwing away advertisers dollars. I also think Reddit should enable reporting on all ads, or at least prove and communicate they are doing due diligence on checking and vetting ads they remove the reporting option on. Removing the option for certain advertisers is preferential treatment and opens the door to those advertisers running ads that fully need to be reported by all of reddits rules. Creating opportunities for this seems like a bad move.

I think Reddit should create a more welcoming and customizable user experience when it comes to ads. The more unwelcoming it is, the fewer users will want to visit.

I’m using an iPad Pro with iOS 17.3.1.

There’s a "T" in the bottom left corner of the reply window that is inactive. No formatting is available on screen at all. There’s no ability to create hyperlinks or block quote or strikethrough or indent or most of the formatting icons that I can see at the top of this window. There’s no link to the Markdown Mode, either.

All I have access to is Bold, Italic and Underline but those only pop up on my in-app iPad keyboard, but not as normally presented via Apple (in the wrong place on the keyboard and not processing correctly). When I used Old Reddit, there was no formatting icons on the keyboard at all. The icons/controls were all in the Reddit reply window.

Is there a fix in the works? Am I the only one with a problem?

One of the big issues right now in the political world is the absolute uselessness that polling has become.

Polling techniques haven't really changed since the days of the land line so polling since 2020 has become inaccurate.

I suggest Reddit setup front page polls for all redditors to reproduce popular polls created by journalists and pundits alike to see if reddit itself represent more of the electorate in your country. I'm mostly interested in the U.S. but I think the data for other countries could be interesting as well.

Is reddit more indicative of the average citizen or the current polling list?

It could be something reddit does (if handled extremely professionally) to drum up business.

It's just a thought.

Most comments that break the rules get a lot of downvotes. For posts with a lot of comments, it is hard to get to the very bottom. Because of this, it would be very helpful if mods could sort by most downvoted comment.

When there is plenty of screen real-estate it'd be handy to immediately show any changes, even when the user scrolls far down. Currently the preview stays in the upper left corner which makes it annoying to try out things (scroll, pick, scroll again... scroll, undo... <repeat>).

One way would be to create a separate pane that doesn't scroll for the preview. Though that feels like a waste of space that could be offering choices (a more dynamic presentation).

Fancy though maybe confusing for the user, would be to scroll the options up and down by shifting them left/right first. Then elements at the top would disappear after going fully left, and new elements would appear in the lower right.

A less changing/confusing position option would be to create a blank space under the initial preview, and use all other space to offer choices. With some shifting under the preview as the user scrolls up.

Or another dynamic option would be to shift the preview away from the cursor (as it gets close pop elsewhere or slide like a bubble that can't be popped). Which allows displaying and selection across the whole page. And not require shifting so many elements in an usual way (like a factory conveyor belt).

With a more cramped display there could still be a tiny preview, especially if turned to landscape orientation. Then just scroll through the options.

Before the latest UX overhaul, I could follow a post or comment by other users, and then get a notification for new replies.

It would be nice if you could toggle a percentage or ratio of content from each subreddit in your personal feed. Like lets say you got a couple meme sub's you follow but dont want the full load of meme's in your feed so you could toggle it half or a quarter the amount of posts so you could still get some but not be burdened by the full load

Somewhat recently the admins added an inactivity feature, & even more recently than that admins added a feature where "active" moderators can reorder moderator lists.

These features are great things on paper, but can also be catastrophic if not implemented properly due to potential abuse or collateral damage.

I'm someone who's recently fallen victim to this system & I'd like to highlight its flaws as a way to give feedback, I'm not asking for the outcome to be changed but please help improve the system for future users.

###Problem 1

Communities with extremely little or even no activity level don't have enough activity for a moderator to remain "active" - I have a subreddit I created but it hasn't grown much, and I wanted to revamp it to try to grow it again and I was locked out of doing most mod actions. The subreddit has zero posts and I already set it up so there was literally nothing for me to do. I'm also the sole moderator.

###Potential Solution 1

The activity required to be considered active should dynamically adjust the less active your subreddit is, and should even be disabled if the subreddit has no user engagement at all. Furthermore if there is only one mod on the mod team then restricting their powers because of potential "abuse" makes no sense. Therefore if theirs either only one mod or extremely little activity this feature should be disabled.

###Problem 2

The current method of gauging activity is not perfect, it's quite flawed and tends to value "quantity > quality". Furthermore its also extremely harmful to mod teams that structure themselves by designated roles, such as a moderator that does art for the subreddit (new emojis, logos, etc), a moderator who does automod and css, a moderator who does modmail, a moderator who does mod queue, a moderator that does stickied posts/announcements, or a combination of things, etc.

The reason it is so harmful to moderators who structure & organize themselves in this way is because some of these positions inherently don't entail a lot of mod actions being taken, and sometimes depending on how much less it is reddit deems them inactive even though they're doing their position/role perfectly well to its fullest extent. This is very bad as the work they do is vital & extremely important, and if these people happen to be top-mods they can lose their subreddit by a rogue moderator in the worse case scenario.

This is my situation. I'll explain my role & everything I did/do for the subreddit and the other persons and you tell me if this is fair.

Me: Rules, removal reasons, general settings, content controls, subreddit format/structure, sidebar, automod, user flairs, post flairs, stickied posts, moderator hiring, moderator guidelines/position (our moderating rules & structure basically), graphics including - custom emojis, logos, banners, etc, community appearance, etc

Them: mod queue

Guess who this system decided deserved to be top mod & that I should be demoted for being inadequate?

Top mods need to be those the best at keeping everything organized & professional which is what I did, before it was swept out from under me by someone who only does queue clearing... (its still important work - I love all moderators, all roles, but it's not any more important than the work I or others do & they shouldn't be able to be usurp your position just because their role entails more mod actions) they quite literally are not qualified for that position despite being "more active" nor is it fair.

Edit: Wanted to add more context - the moderator in my situation took every community from me, not just one. Even communities that were small and we were the only mods there because I really trusted them. On the same exact day at the same exact time they made themselves top mod everywhere and then proceeded to act very toxic towards me and are now ignoring me.

###Potential Solution 2

This problem is harder to solve, so despite it personally affecting me and devastating my motivation to continue building reddit communities I'm trying not to blame the admins since it's hard to balance, but they should know their current system has/can be abused and harm innocent people, so there should be more measures put in place, even if it's just allowing us to contact you guys so you can reverse these decisions on a case by case basis. Any sort of safety net is appreciated.

###Potential Solution 3

Extremely important mod updates like one that could cost a user their subreddit should be alerted via the message system to guarantee no one misses it. This wouldn't fix any issue in the past but it would help with new updates going forward.

TL;DR: system is extremely unfavorable/harmful towards mod teams who structure themselves via designated roles, & chooses quality over quality too much. Please fix this as it leads to abuse & unfair exchanges of power.
