How to get 'full features' when posting images without Reddit app?

Is it possible **without using the Reddit app** to submit a new post that contains one or more picture and

- has a "body message" section (like this: https://imgur.com/a/KFPSgcW )

- the pictures will be displayed also in the subreddit feed (like this: https://imgur.com/a/RicrPEn )

My reddit account was hacked

My Reddit account was hacked. As a result, my account was locked. As a first step, I changed my password and did two-step verification. Is there anything else I need to do? And I have joined a strange community. What should I do to solve this?

Chat is not working iOS

I have opened and closed the app several times but it doesn’t fix it. One of the chats says Loading and when I text nothing shows up. Some times the chats disappear.

Why can't I upload images?

Everytime I try to upload an image it class "cannot upload image". It doesn't give me a reason why. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it. I've cropped the image, cleared my cache, and uninstalled the app. I don't understand what the problem is. This is a brand new thing for me that just started tonight.

Change image on a pinned post, is it possible?

I have pinned a couple of posts on my sub, all of which are links. The posts themselves have images attached to them, but one doesn't, so I was wondering if I could put an image on it somehow. Thanks in advance for any help!

Can’t log back into account after being signed out

So about mid-October I was logged out of my account (u/Sp00kybones). I tried logging back in but kept getting the “invalid username/password” combo.

I know the username/password is correct because I usually just use auto complete, but I also have it written down just in case for situations like this. I generally use the app on iOS but have tried on desktop as well.

Just searching reddit for  seems to show that the account is still there, at least from what I can see. I’ve scoured reddit and this subreddit for any fixes and ended up reading about a bunch of other people having the same issues here and there within the last few months to even years. Just wondering if there is any fix around this...

account marked NSFW - can't toggle off - have submitted requests for help via suggested form, multiple times - no replies

Hi... I've had this issue for months, after my account somehow got marked NSFW. As mentioned in the title, I can't switch the toggle to off, without it immediately being set back to on.

I've used the form suggested online, to report this to reddit staff several times, without a reply or any change in the status of this issue.

any help would be greatly-appreciated - thanks much!!

Most subs rarely show up

I think I'm subbed to 50+ subs at this point, but I think posts from less than 10 of them make up for 90% of my frontpage. I think that creates a bit of a feedback loop because I upvote those and they overshadow the others more and more.

Is there any way I can make my front page more diverse between the subs I'm currently on, or is the only solution to create custom feeds?

I am a researcher and have been waiting for request for 13 weeks! Anyone has the same problem?

I submitted a request for proposed research project, but I have been waiting for 13 weeks. I have updated with my approved ethics application but still no response. How long do you guys usually wait for the response? Is there anyway for me to chase after my request? Thanks a lot for your help!

Whats "Spotlight"?

I noticed that on a post, there is an option "Spotlight", when I click on the 3 dots, on the post. When I click on it, I get an error message saying that Im not allowed to do that.

Account Login

Hi,

I cannot login to my main account: u/lh_hl. This happened randomly a few weeks ago, where I was logged off while browsing and couldn't get back in. I can reset my password and I have sent an account status request form, but I have not heard back. I'm not sure why this has happened, is there any way I can get more info?

Account stolen for months now. Support not helping.

Hi there For months I have been trying to get my account back /u/heartwire

Multiple times I have contacted support and keep getting the reply to reset password under my verified mail. Problem is that the email has been changed.

Its an account thats well over 10 years old. And I'd really like it back. But support keeps telling me to reset passeord which is impossible.

The original email its registered from is an email I stil have access to. So I hope they can revert it back to the original email so i can reset it and setup 2 step verification too.

Eitherway, I would like proper help

Why do my comments randomly start to get auto-filtered or something?

One day I'll be able to comment in a specific subreddit and my comments stay up for others to see, then on another day, my comments will all start to be seemingly automatically deleted as soon as posted.

My comments eventually stop getting auto-deleted after a few days or so.

If there a reason this happens? I don't understand.

[iOS] Is there any logic or set of rules for posts to feature in r/all?

Is there a guideline or high level logic outlined somewhere that tells us the criteria for posts to be featured in r/all?

An aware that the posts that get featured there are picked by Reddit’s algorithms, based on some factors like popularity and engagement etc but would love to know more about said factors

Can any of the user’s privacy settings be detrimental to be featuring on r/all?

Why do people downvote neutral comments and posts so much?

There’s been a couple times I’ve posted my own opinions on things like music and bands and got mass downvoted for it. I just don’t get why people feel the need to downvote comments so much, is there anything I can do to stop this from happening so much?

Account hijacked, email and password changed, can't recover

My Reddit account u/karatekidmonkey was hijacked by someone a few weeks ago. They changed the email and password so I can't recover it. I still have control of the email address that used to be associated with this account before it was changed.

I opened a support ticket about an hour after I noticed the account was hijacked, but it's been a few weeks with no response. Can anyone help?
