Here's a nifty way to hear a notification with a distinct sound for a new reddit post that matches a specified search:

I created a Zap on Zapier that ties together my Reddit and Vybit accounts and sends a Vybit notification (where you record or choose the notification sound) when a new post matches specified search terms (e.g., subreddit and keyword). Here is the Zap template if you want to try it out:

Subreddit Backup Tool

Is there a tool to export/import subreddits more easily? Seems like it would be a good idea if you have multiple accounts. I looked around but couldn't find any.

What did Reddit talk about yesterday?

Hi,

http://populr.website/

We made this little tool so you can receive everyday the most populr stories published the previous day on your favorites websites and subreddits. We are only -for now- watching some subreddits but if you like the tool we can add more.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks

Get random content from reddit.

Today i discovered (if you know more, please share!) some ways to get random content from reddit because it is hard to get with the top/hot/new and other classic sorting where one has to dig too much.

To find random subreddits: /r/random/ .

To find random submission in a subreddit: /r/reddittools/random

To sort the comments in a random way: well it does not really work, adding at the end on the link ?sort=random.

reddit manager: compartmentalize your reddit browsing

So I made a web app, of sorts, see http://reddit.routecube.com/

You can create categories of subreddits, then click on category titles and generate multi-reddit page of all the categories in an iframe. It also does the same thing with imgur.

It uses localStorage to persist the data, and as such it is virtually anonymous. However, this also means that if you were to clear your browsing data, all the information saved on the web app would be lost. Another downside it that this can’t be synced across different web browsers or devices, as the data is saved in the local browser only.

Because I rather sloppily implemented this using an iframe, I found that it works best if you have the “open links in a new window” enabled in your reddit preferences.

Here’s how you use it:

  • You can add subreddits to a category, and you can click on the category name to open up a multi subreddit of all the subreddits in that category. You can still click on a subreddit to open it up by itself.
  • You can click the imgur icon to switch to imgur mode, which makes all your categories/subreddits link to their imgur counterparts.

– You can drag both categories and subreddits on the top “menu” box to delete them.

  • You can drag categories and subreddits around to rearrange them, and you can also drag subreddits from one category to another.
  • You can use the +/- to minimize/maximize a category

All the aforementioned UI interactions rely on jQuery UI.

I've shared it to a few friends, and they find it useful, so I thought maybe other people would as well.

[RES] Solution To In-Page Navigation Links Issue

Quite possibly not the best title I've ever written. This post isn't going to contain the best English I've ever written, either; I've had beer.

As detailed in the thread here, it is possible to use an in-page navigation link to send a user to a specific comment on the same page without the browser reloading the page. This exposed an issue with Reddit Enhancement Suite. When clicking on the link, the page would open in a new tab, rendering it a pointless effort.

To solve this problem, simply go into RES preferences, choose "Comment Selector", pick "Keyboard Navigation" and deselect commentsLinkNumbers and commentsLinkNewTab. This should resolve the problem.

The basic things you need to do as a mod are to check the spam filter, and any reported links or comments. The amount of work can vary depending on reddit size.

Check out these links for all your modding needs:

Besides checking the modqueue once in a while, you can also keep an eye out for things the spam filter didn't catch or things you don't feel is appropriate. This is where the remove feature comes in handy. Conversely, approve brings something out of the spam filter and brings it public.

If you have an official statement to be made (say, verifying policy in your reddit), you can distinguish

Greasemonkey scripts and other add-ons

This is by no means an attempt at a fully comprehensive list (too many to do that). Rather, this is a list of what I'd consider to be the most useful (along with some of my favorites). Some very useful items might be omitted if that feature's already included in something else.

Last edited 17 Jan, 2011

  • Reddit Enhancement Suite - (Ce, Gm - for Firefox, Opera, Safari)

  • Reddit Reveal (Ce, FFa, Gm)

    Displays voting for comments and new posts, reveals markdown source, and shows user inforomation (account age and karma)

  • Rage Faces (Ce, Gm)

    A button to open an RSS feed of the reddit of your choice.

    If there's a NSFW link, it'll open up in an new incognito window, allowing your (NSFW) history to be deleted.


####Firefox Add-ons

Anyone can now post

There have been a few comments about why this was a restricted reddit. Here's the explanation I gave the last time asked about it:

I thought I'd use this subreddit more as a "sticky" at the top of a thread or something like that instead of having a particularly active subreddit that changes frequently. I figured I could keep things more organized this way.

It seemed logical at the time, especially since it started out as more of a personal list of tools... but then I decided to share it.

Is there any sense to keeping it that way? I'm not sure - I'm thinking about what would be the most useful.

I'm opening it up for anyone to post. I'm working on a list to help organize the links here, which can have the same role as a "sticky" when I put a link to it in the sidebar.

Happy tooling!
