How can I buy awards without coins?

I like giving awards to people who are helpful and people who make me laugh etc.

I've just heard that it's not possible to buy coins any more.... How will the awards system work without coins to pay for them?

whats the point of reddit

I've been using it as a mini library just because there's no good note-taking application.

Gmail kinda works, blablabla. I'm switching over to just writing in the terminal, where every new txt is almost like a new subreddit, I guess.

So what's the point of reddit?

Comments, but I can't see them?

On various discussions, I see the topic has X number of comments (usually 1-4 or so). I click on the topic, but none of the comments show up. Instead, it says "no comments".

I have, of course, seen where comments have been deleted my a moderator with a mod note, or where comments are "collapsed" (mostly due to downvotes). But how and why do comments show as counted, but there is no sign of them in the thread?

Help with upvoting and downvoting:

This may be a weird one for this subreddit, but it keeps bothering me so here we go. I’ve been using Reddit for many years but still cannot figure out the upvote downvote function and fear I am using it incorrectly. I’ve asked a friend and his answer is basically that upvoting means you think more ppl should see it and downvoting means less ppl should see it. But I can’t get over feeling like upvoting is liking it and downvoting is disliking it creating a conundrum. For instance, another school shooting occurs. I don’t like this, of course, but I do think it should be seen more. Am I upvoting so more ppl see it or downvoting to express my displeasure in the content of the post? Please help me figure out what is going on with upvoting and downvoting so I can feel confident in what I’m doing! Side note, it’s sad to me school shooting was the first thing I thought of as an example…

Oops, looks like my opinion caused a dirty diaper alert! Somebody needs a pamper change! Literally all I said was “I still wear a mask indoors around a bunch of people” and that upset an itty bitty mod.

Why are some subreddit names shortened

On the the iOS app, some of the subreddit names appear to be shortened with no apparent reason. For example 'r/movies' becomes 'r/...es'.

It doesn't appear to be any kind of censorship of offensive words and longer names appear in full so it's not a length issue.

Is it a bug?

I made a bookmarklet to instantly strip all added CSS from any "old reddit" sub

Didn't know where else to put this. I browse reddit exclusively on old reddit, don't care for new reddit. But there are some things that bug me that subs do with CSS, and while I like having nicely styled subs to browse, some of them push the boundaries.

For me, it's mostly /r/mildlyinfuriating. I get the joke ha ha lol you see the name of the sub is mildly infuriating - but once you're through laughing at the hilarity of it every time you go there, it just makes the sub difficult to read. CSS is also sometimes used for other little annoyances like hiding the upvotes/downvotes unless you're subscribed, etc.

So I made a little javascript bookmarklet to strip away all CSS that is added to any sub, leaving only the default reddit styling. Whenever you're annoyed by a sub's styling, you can just click the button and poof - it's gone. To bring it back, just click it again.

How to Create the Kill Reddit CSS Bookmarklet Button for your Toolbar

To create your button, just make a new bookmark. In the URL field, enter the following line of JavaScript:

javascript:(function(){x=0;s=document.styleSheets;for(const y of s){if(y.title==="applied_subreddit_stylesheet"){if(y.disabled!=true){y.disabled=true;}else{y.disabled=false;}}x++;}})();

Save the bookmark to your toolbar and give it a nice title like KILL REDDIT CSS and you're all set.

Hope this helps. If it stops working, check back here, I will update as needed.

VersionRevision
1.0original simple toggle off, refresh page to bring back

Facebook

We are trying to do ads in facebook but it says its restricted. Owner of account is a hs student, no valid id yet. Should we change the name to someone who has valid ID or create a new account?

Also, if the factory is in another country, but our target audience is global, for verification, can we use another country's ID and name and information to get verified?

Will it affect if we use different locations?

Please help!

Comments not showing previous statements

I don't know who's great idea this was, but I can no longer see the previous comment when I get a reply.

Like the persons reply shows up, but I can't even see what I said to spark the reply. Its aggrevating as hell, particularly when you're like 5 comments in on a high-volume thread.

How can I unsubscribe from a subreddit on the android app?

Ironically, I accidentally subscribed to r/justunsubscribed and my feed is now full of posts I'm not interested in.

I can see a list of all the subreddits I've subscribed to, but I can't find a way on the app to unsubscribe to any of them.

Why can I only comment on certain subs?

Some let me comment but only once. Others do not let me comment at all. It just says”sorry try again later”. Some pages I can post, others I cannot at all. I am so confused??

Ignore function is broken

I've recently discovered that people are, to my eyes, abusing the dogshit ignore mechanic to suppress other users.

It seems that if I'm having a conversation with whoever, and someone jumps in to respond to me and then later ignores me... it prevents me from continuing on the conversation because I'm now blocked from replying to anyone below the ignorer.

Is this intended? It's only going to make the echo chambers worse as snow flakes discover they can abuse it to suppress the opinions of others.

[android] should closing a comment vibrate my phone or not?

Minimizing a comment only vibrates my phone if I try it from the top, near OP's name. If I do it from the text itself, it doesnt. Is this a bug or a feature?

I'm on android 11, reddit app ver 2022.22.0.

Reddit has a rule against moderators making money off of being moderators, but at least one mod on r/cryptocurrency has sold over 880k moons in the last 8 months amounting to $250,000+. Why is that allowed?

This post was removed off multiple subs, including r/help and r/modsupport.

Also, mods on that sub get paid a higher distribution of moons every month. One set of rules for the rest of Reddit, another for the mods of that sub? Posts highlighting this were also removed multiple times on subs that were run by or linked to said mods.

For those not aware, "moons" are cryptocurrency tokens that were made by and for that sub. Within reddit it has not much value and can be used only for tipping and buying awards. But people close to the mods have made online platforms where you can send the moons to and exchange them for cryptocurrency with real monetary value. That crypto can then be sold for money that can be credited to your bank account.

Banned from multiple subreddits for commenting in a Quarantined sub.

I commented on a thread in a Quarantined sub (I won’t say which, because I don’t even want to give them the exposure), but I didn’t realise this action would cause me to be banned from multiple unrelated subreddits!

Now I’m getting messages from multiple subs such as: r/aww and r/mildlyinteresting, etc. to say I have been permabanned from their subs for posting in the Quarantined subreddit!

I had no idea that an action such as commenting to counter an argument in a controversial subreddit would suddenly cause bans across the rest of Reddit! And I feel like there should have been more warnings to this end.

What really gets me, is I was commenting to counter misinformation. I know this was an automated bot action, and I have messaged the mods of these subs to try and get the ban lifted. But it feels like banning someone across the rest of Reddit will only prevent people commenting to counter disinformation in the future, and enhance the insular effects of certain groups that already have little to no people speaking out against them.

What do you guys think? Has anyone else been banned elsewhere for trying to speak up against disinformation?

Samsung ads

What's up with inundating users with samsung ads. Every third "post" is a samsung ad. Makes me want to avoid samsung out of spite for ruining my experience of this site.

Whacky UI

Dear all,

Using firefox i often find reddit to be sluggish, sometimes pasting text does not work when prepping a reply, and sometimes the editing window do not let me use backspace and so on, it's incredibly buggy. Anyone else having such experiences?

Ie - the web experience is overall rather buggy. Scrollback for chats do not work either.

I got downvoted so hard to the point where I get 15 minute timeouts ON MY OWN PROFILE

WHY IS THIS EVEN A THING

Hopefully it wasn't intended

I can't believe that getting a bunch of downvotes in a short amount of time makes Reddit hit you that hard (and the funny thing, I don't get timeouts on other subreddits). Whyyyy. This is awful, it's so harsh :(

It's so stupid because I only got so many downvotes because a ton of people didn't think I was joking, I would guess at least the original commenter did get it, but a lot of people didn't, losing 150 karma in a day isn't a big deal BUT THIS? WHY!?!? It's not like I encouraged the killings of millions of people or something. Reddit let me in, I want to post! :(

I did expect people to downvote me for the comment I made prior to that one, people did. That one wasn't a joke, and it wasn't to disagree with the original comment, but it can be easily interpretred as that. I knew it before I made that comment, I don't really blame people for interpreting it that way.

LET ME IIIIINNNN

MY CLIPBOARD IS NOT GONNA LAST FOREVER

AAAAAAAAAAAA

Edit: Was this a bug? After the timer stopped resetting (it resets every time I make a new post on another sub), and the time passed, I was able to make posts on my profile with no restrictions.

Odd. I thought this was gonna last a whole day.

What is with all the new plague denial subs popping up?

r/nonewnormal and now r/walkaway are just echo chambers of disgruntled people down voting any semblance of facts. They are hitting hot as well with their crazy theories.
