At least on desktop, going to the home page, the right hand side now shows a sidebar called "Recent Posts" that lists posts you have previously looked at. While some might find this useful, recurring posts on r/help have made it very clear that there is also a lot of users who would like to remove/ disable this functionality. Therefore, the settings should expose a toggle to enable/disable said sidebar. Ideally, if disabled, this activity wouldn't be tracked in the first place. But at the very least we should be able to remove the sidebar (or have it be empty).

There are so many subreddits for similar tasks and communities. For example 3d printing in india has got few subs. I've to post everywhere to ask my questions. If admins are ok & crowd gets an option to shift, there should way to combine atleast self helf, tech subreddits.

This is a follow-up to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/ideasfortheadmins/comments/1idn2pm/

It got me thinking of a current automod rule I have in place that filters posts/comments with links to google docs until they can be reviewed by moderators where it would make sense to notify the user up-front that their post/comment is being be held for review because it links to a specific domain. I saw a post got filtered in relation to this auotmoderator rule today with the aforementioned thread from r/ideasfortheadmins being in recent memory.

Right now you can require domains or ban domains. There's no way to display a message to a user before submission that a link post with a particular domain will be held for review by moderators. This can presently be done for links in comments, post bodies, and text in post titles using the automations feature, but not a post's actual link.

It should be able to scroll down automatically and land you where your comment is. When there are >100 comments, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find your response. I would consider this SOCIAL MEDIA 101. Get an email that someone commented on your post... and be able to find your post quickly.

Not so on Reddit.

Worst ever feeling. I spend a lot of time making sure that the post is well written. And then I click post - no validation happens. Then I get a comment immedietly - I'm happy to see that my post is getting traction so quickly.

No. It's the freaking automod telling me that I just wasted 30 minutes on your app

This shitty process also violates usability heuristic #5

Despite having NSFW content enabled, every time I open a user’s profile that is tagged as NSFW I get a pop up warning telling me that. It is really really really annoying. I know this has been complained about before. Please get rid of it already.

Currently, if you share a post from one community to another, the new community could know where it was shared from, but the old community would still have no idea. Also, this causes a lot of duplicate posting on the same content all through the user's profile.

Instead treating posts as entities and communities a flags on top of the post everytime you add increasing that flag but not duplicating the post will keep the communities and user's profile tidy and optimized

Currently, Karama is only used to get better exposure when you are posting, but beyond say 5k-10k karma there is nothing more to do other than brag, just like coins, if you can trade your karma to give a special award, it would make the karma stakes better.

I know that people would be hesitant to give out karma that easily, but it's for the new account, if your account is somewhat older than a year you are a karma whale, with nothing else to do. Something to do with karma will make the Reddit experience better.

Reddit is a place for everything, so ideally, users would save important posts they see on Reddit under the saved tab, but after a while they become too long to ever drag down to, Reddit must have an option like Instagram to club/group saved posts into a folder for easy access

The endless political posts are ruining Reddit. I'm from Europe and I'm sick of seeing Trump and Musk's faces.

I spent an HOUR - yes, really - composing a very long heartfelt and carefully worded reply to a commenter on the sub for my faith/church when as I finished, I accidentally back paged to the open email with the link to another post in the same subreddit from which page I found another original post with the comment I was replying to. Unlike direct comments - this one for example - there is no Save Draft option for replies to specific responders. So just like that, Poof! No more heartfelt reply - Gone! Vanished! Surely this would be a simple fix, and I have seen many comments concerning this regrettable function oversight. PLEASE add a Save Draft option for replies next to the Cancel and Comment options. PLEASE!

Hi.

So reddit is my new hobby. There are a lot of subs I use to search and find info. But others are pure entertainment and make for great reading! (i.e. Malicious compliance, AITA, Best of Reddit Updates, etc.)

The problem is.. It's SO hard to read an entire sub. You can't mark a spot and return. You can't figure out where you left off, etc. You have to scroll forever.

If we could filter, that would be amazing. If I could just pull all posts from January 2022, then I could scroll through the posts for that month. Once I finished, then I could the same for February 2022.

I'd still have to scroll, and there's still no way to mark where you left off, but at least it's only a month, and not the ENTIRE sub. Yeah I know that would kinda ruin the banana award, but I'd rather be able to easily work my way through a sub.

There's so REALLY entertaining stuff on here. I'd love to just sit back, relax, and read my way through an entire sub. Please ad a filter. Thanks!!!

I love Reddit and like to reply to posts when I can to be helpful because so many people have given me helpful replies, but it feels empty to get no response. I don’t expect the original poster to write something thoughtful to each and everyone who responds, but what about a feature where the original poster can reply to everyone? Would be interesting to give the poster a chance to summarize what they learned/address everyone who responded. Some update their post, but the respondents don’t get notified of this.

When I comment on a post on iOS, it will bring me to the bottom of the comments. This is a bad design choice because I want to read the comments from the top and now I am forced to scroll all the way back up to the top of the post to read the comments properly.

I know people who have been permanently banned from reddit. I'd like to explain their situations in the hopes you'll be able to understand what happened to them.

Example:

So basically imagine you get banned from a random sub. It sucks but it's whatever and you move on. You take a break from reddit for a month and come back with a new account as you forgot your old password. Then you get a post recommended to you. It's a post from a subreddit you were originally banned from on your old account. You don't even remember what subs you were banned from because you have a life outside of reddit and it has been quite a bit of time since the ban happened. You post a comment. Next think you know, the ban evasion AI has permanently banned you from the entire website.

I understand this is done to stop ban evaders. But I think it's quite... extreme, especially with how ban happy moderators of some subs are. Users will not remember every single subreddit they get banned from. I think subreddit bans should be IP based instead. Obviously VPN's exist, but from what I've seen, reddit is pretty effective of blocking VPN users.

I don't think it's fair to permanently ban a user for just being human and making a human mistake, especially if the original subreddit ban could be done for the most ridiculous of reasons.

Is there not another way? IP bans? Device bans? The current way it's handled seems so anti-user.

edit: Okay it seems the people have decided that that permanently banning users from the entire website for ban evading on a specific subreddit ran by a potentially deranged person is a perfectly reasonable solution! My bad!

It would be great to see if a comment got an upvote from the OP—like maybe the upvote icon could be a different color, circled, or something, so you’d know if the OP liked your comment.

I think this would significantly cut down on angry messages to the mods. It’s really irritating when I see an interesting post in my feed, but I’m not allowed to comment on it. I’d rather not see the post.

I would appreciate it if this were at least a global option you could turn on

I love that I can follow subreddits and have a feed filled with posts from all my favorite ones. But if you follow a lot of subreddits, your feed can get super long, with the most popular posts from all over filling it up. Sometimes, you just want to catch up on certain topics you’re interested in. Sure, you can visit those specific subreddits, but that’s a hassle when you’re following a ton of them. That’s why I think having a way to make custom feeds would be an awesome feature.

For example, let’s say you follow a bunch of tech subreddits, but also a ton of non-tech ones. Normally, as you scroll through your feed, you might spot some tech posts here and there mixed in with everything else. That’s fine for casual scrolling, but not great if you’re trying to stay up-to-date with tech-specific stuff.

It’d be amazing if you could create custom feeds, like one for “tech” or “gaming” or whatever topic you don’t want to miss out on. You’d just pick which subreddits go into that custom feed, and then you could easily switch between your regular feed and your topic-specific ones. That way, you’d have the best of both worlds: a general feed for casual browsing and focused feeds for when you want to dive into specific interests.

This would be a tremendous QoL improvement. I don't understand why Reddit doesn't already do it.

EDIT: Right now it collapses top level comments, but this doesn't do anything about comment replies.

This also means top level comments from blocked users are still visible in the Infinity app, as it doesn't collapse comments where they'd be collapsed on desktop. While this isn't Reddit's own issue, it could remedy this by just hiding comments from blocked users entirely.

Want this feature so that I don't see anything on US politics anymore.

There's some different ways and considerations about how this might be implemented, but simply that there would be some kind of process enabling a community to remove a mod

An example might be that if 5% of community members endorse a petition for a vote, it would then be held and the mod sustained or removed based on the vote

I have seen a topic subreddit specifically ban a subtopic for over three months, and the ban announcement was afterwards linked in the rules, effectively making the subtopic ban indefinite unless the mods approved of your opinion on the subject. Remarkably, a subreddit specific to that subtopic is now in the same situation. A science communicator was informed he was banned from that subreddit on the same day he received an invitation from the US Department of Energy to present on the subject

Basically it appears that the volunteer nature of moderating, which requires years of attention and effort by good people, means that over time the positions are at risk of being taken over by people motivated by specific opinions that they consider to be the only reasonable ones. A democratic recall process seems like the most natural way to address this vulnerability

I would love to see the option to set your reddit feed to "always new."

The rankings are not visible on other versions of reddit only visible on the android or mobile version.

This is a neat function that would be fun to add to the web version.

It's not needed but I would let the mods of the communies enable or disable it for regular users that way only spesific users will see it.

I'm addicted to Reddit but am actually considering not using it anymore because I keep seeing images of dead or wounded animals.

Some examples from the past couple days, big and small: beach full of wounded/dying/dead dolphins, a jar full of frozen baby quails (it was a product to feed pet snakes), a bug that had been painted into a wall so got stuck and died there, photo of a predator about to eat it's prey, animal corpses hanging in a butcher shop.

Not against users posting things like this, especially if they're informative, but I would like to be able to make the choice myself to view it or not. I know most particularly graphic pictures are blurred with the option to view the image, but I would like it if all dead/wounded animal posts were this way.

They FINALLY made it possible to crosspost on mobile web without me having to switch over to full desktop mode!! First time since I started Reddit almost 2 years ago. Now I'd like them to make it so that when we upload more than one image in an "Image" post, we will be able to give each image a caption like we were able to do on new.reddit because since they discontinued new Reddit, posting has been much more difficult now. Also with new Reddit, we were able to add more images to a post while the images we already added were in the upload process. Can't do that on this very inferior version of Reddit.

(I put "notification" in quotes because these aren't push notifications that pop up on your phone, but rather the red numbered bubble you see in your UI once you've opened the app. If someone can give me a better word for this, I'd be happy to edit the body of this post.)

I was once an avid user of Facebook. I left for a number of reasons, but one of the first things that really drove me away was something Reddit is starting to do.

For the longest time, the red bubble notifications were basically only for a directed-at-me human interaction. Someone posted on my wall. I received a DM. Someone commented on a post I made. Etc.

The first time I got a "here are suggested groups you can join" red bubble notification I was very unpleasantly surprised. It felt like Facebook was piggybacking on my natural desire to engage with people to increase my engagement elsewhere. It felt deceitful. It kept building up, getting notifications like that for suggested friends (not friend requests), new feature announcements, and so on. It made it so I wasn't even interested in the red bubble anymore, because it didn't usually indicate what I was interested in.

Reddit is now doing the same, and maybe some people like it. Fair enough. I'd just like a setting in my preferences to restrict red bubbles to direct interaction with me from a person. If I keep getting notifications like, "your comment received 25 up votes" or "you are now a repeat contributor in community x, here are three more communities you can try to unlock this achievement for" then I'll stop being interested in the red bubble. It has already waned, and I'd like it to not evaporate entirely.

So please, allow us to opt out of these "notifications" that don't reflect direct interaction with our content. In fact, allowing people to customize what can and can't red bubble at them would be perfect. Maybe some people only want post replies but not comment replies. It's not an option I'd take, but full customization of what could trigger it would solve more than just my dissatisfaction.

Thanks and have a good one.

Edit: it appears this has been corrected per the admin response to the link in comments..

I seen a few requests for "blocking" by keywords, but maybe a mute function would be even better.

I heard enough about Musk for now. Mute any posts with 'Musk' in it for a day/week/month/forever.

This also might address all these different subs asking to ban x.com posts. If individuals were empowered to mute/filter out such content themselves, then subs don't have to choose to block/censor certain content. Let individuals have more control!

After yesterday there are a ton of subs I want to block, and apparently you can't block anymore after 100. Can we be allowed to block more than 100 subs or are we already able to and the counter on the side of our r/all feed just maxes out at 100?

Reddit has introduced a new feature called the Ban Evasion Filter, designed to help moderators automatically filter posts and comments from users suspected of evading community bans.

While this tool aims to enhance community safety, several concerns have arisen regarding its implementation:

1.	Shared IP Addresses in 4G/5G Networks:  Many users access Reddit through mobile networks where IP addresses are dynamically assigned and often shared among numerous individuals.   This overlap can lead to false positives, mistakenly flagging innocent users as ban evaders due to shared IP addresses.    
2.	Public IP Addresses:  In environments like libraries, cafes, or workplaces, multiple users connect to Reddit using the same public IP address.   The Ban Evasion Filter might misinterpret this shared usage as an attempt to bypass bans, resulting in unwarranted restrictions for legitimate users.    
3.	Increased Moderator Authority:  The filter provides moderators with the capability to automatically filter content from suspected ban evaders.   However, the system isn’t infallible and may produce false positives.   Relying solely on this automated tool without human oversight could lead to unjust penalties for users who haven’t violated any rules.    

Additional Considerations:

•	Accuracy of Detection:  Reddit acknowledges that the Ban Evasion Filter isn’t 100% accurate, as it relies on approximations based on user signals.   This limitation necessitates careful judgment from moderators when deciding on user participation in communities.    
•	Filter Response Time:  If a user is unbanned and resumes activity shortly thereafter, the filter might still flag their posts or comments, placing them in the moderation queue.   This lag can disrupt user experience and requires moderators to be vigilant in managing such cases.    

Examples Highlighting Potential Issues:

•	A user accessing Reddit from a university campus might be mistakenly flagged by the filter due to the shared IP address among students, leading to unnecessary content filtering.
•	An individual recently unbanned from a subreddit could find their new posts still being filtered, as the system may not immediately recognize the change in their ban status.

While the Ban Evasion Filter is a step toward maintaining the integrity of Reddit communities, it’s crucial to address these challenges to prevent unintended consequences for well-meaning users.
