Have the option to remove ads for drugs.

Hello!

I have been getting cannibis ads, and as someone trying to stay sober that's extremely triggering. I'm not alone in this, many people are trying to stay sober from substances. Alcohol and Gambling both have options to turn them off, so why not ads with substances(not just cannibis). As more and more countries start to legalize substances, the more ads are going to pop up. If alcohol is considered enough of a threat to be able to block ads, why not substances? I make this post not just for myself, but for all my fellow sober people who just want to enjoy this app. YES I know Reddit Premium removes ads, but if other things get special consideration like alcohol and gambling, why not substances? I hope that this can be seriously considered, as the acceptable online advertising topics have changed.

Thanks for your consideration.

Creativity with Fonts, Templates, etc.

1.      It would be great if we were able to be more creative in post threads. Being able to change the font type, font size, font color would be great. For posts that are routine (say weekly), a way to put a permanent image or banner.

I use MS Word a lot, so it kind of loses some creativity to create some really nice content, but only be able to use a few functions.

2.      The ability to create and save templates that are used routinely in subs.

 

Just some ideas! I apologize if they have already been submitted or there is a function for them. 😊

Show users subs they’ve been banned in

Reddit is harsh on users who evade bans by using other accounts, but it’s incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to know which subs you’re banned from. I got hit with ban evasion, and when I looked at the account that was banned, it had no notification or any other indication that it was banned. I had to try commenting in the sub to verify I was banned. There should be a way to see what you’re banned from so you can at least try to avoid ban evasion.

Before you say, “well just don’t get banned”, due to the recent election I was being harassed and banned for posting content that was positive for Harris (in appropriate subs no less!). So getting banned doesn’t always mean the person is behaving badly. Ironically it was because my account was being followed by trolls (and bots?) that I switched accounts and ended up with ban evasion…

Increase the maximum blocklist size

Please consider increasing the maximum blocklist size from 1000 to a much higher value.

There is a huge influx of bots, annoying trolls, and downright evil people and it's only going to increase the next few years. These people are unhinged. The usual moderation mechanisms cannot cope with them. 1000 is just too low. Deleting old blocks is not the solution, when I block someone I am absolutely certain that I never want to hear from that person again.

Every time I get a “recommended” notification, clicking/tapping it takes me to the post’s subreddit instead of the post that the notification is highlighting. This is lame and all around a bad time.

Sticky user note labels

If you make a user note with a label and then one without a label, that label no longer shows next to the username and isn't easy to find as more notes are added.

Could there be an option to sticky a user note/label for any use case where you need all mods to know something about a user when you're acting on their content or to permanently (or until removed) highlight good contributors. It should be able to be removed or replaced, easy to find within the list of user notes, and always show next to the username.

Politics Filter

I'd like to be able to continue to use reddit without my feed being flooded with political posts from every subreddit. I'm not talking about being able to filter specific parties or politicians - we don't need to create an even stronger bubble. I just be mean - no politics. Allow people to flag posts as political and then allow the user to not see them.

Ability to block content by keyword

Like many others have said, we really need the ability to block posts containing content we want to avoid. I am totally uninterested in seeing any posts in my feed related to politics and certain politicians or their followers. I love Reddit, but it sucks that I can't avoid these things to protect my mental health while perusing subs that actually improve my mental health.

That is all.

New "Sort by" categories, powered by AI - similar to best (highest points), controversial (many +/- points), now, it is possible to go through the comments and introduce new categories, few examples shown in the picture.

Want me to buy Reddit premium? Here's how.

Give Premium users a way to filter out seeing any post or comment if it includes a certain keyword, or keywords. Make it so I can add as many as I want.

Better still if you have some pre-built power filters that filter out all political posts or posts that contain toxic or abusive language.

I'm a long time user of Reddit but never have gone premium. Avatars and icons aren't going to make me sub. Giving me more control over what I want to see and not see will.

Blocking should prevent people from seeing your entire account

Title. Why can you block someone, they can see your comments but not reply, so they just go onto their 13th alternate account to harass you?

Single post type

The several post types Reddit has confuse users.

I've seen some users make a image/video post but then put text or links in a comment.

Tumblr made a single unified post type with their Neue Post Format and I feel like it's been much better.

Could an option be added to change the way reddit measures scroll lengths?

My friend has a fear of the fruit we currently use, and I want them to feel safe, + it would be a fun little community thing, you could even make collectable measuring things!

Feature request badly needed: Ability to disable trending today when clicking search bar

Feature request badly needed: Ability to disable trending today when clicking search bar on Reddit desktop.

I really, really, hate having to - in fact being forced to - read political news when I'm searching for something on Reddit. Please please make this feature.

For mods, add an option to remove multiple approved users

Currently, if you have approved users in your sub, you can only remove a single user at a time. I suggest adding a checkbox option to allow mods to remove several, or all, approved users. It would make it a lot easier and faster to clean up inactive users from the approved list.

No thumbnail for multiple image crosspost?

When you cross post a single image from one sub to another, a typical thumbnail is created. Unfortunately, while thumbnails are created for galleries, when you cross post said galleries, only a "text post outline" icon appears.

It seems like this wouldn't be very hard to fix; am I wrong?

Thanks

Remove notifications

I would love the option to remove notifications from my view. Currently, I can only “stop getting notifications from this” by tapping the three dots next to the unwanted notification. Other platforms like Facebook will let me delete it from view.

Summarize the comments

Sorry my first language is not English. But I would love to have summarize on top of all the comments. Because sometimes I ask about a brand for a product and instead of reading all the comments (sometimes I don’t have time for it) it would be SO MUCH better if on top could the AI summarize what was said from all the comments .

😊 Thanks

separate the post approvals and removals/corrective actions against a user in modlog.

whenever I'm looking at somebody's profile within a subreddit i moderate, sometimes they can have like a total of 50 modlog actions which you would assume would be bad things. Then when you actually look through it, it's a lot of it is like post approvals and stuff.
