Can’t scroll properly with new update

Reddit just updated and now I can’t navigate my subreddits properly. (I am on an iPhone) I can click on individual gifs but then the load order is random afterwards and a lot of the time it has noting to do with the original /Reddit post. I can click on images but it won’t scroll to the next image, it won’t even load the next image. I have to manually click the next image or gif to make it work and it’s just really annoying how I have to navigate like this on a primarily scrolling app. Please help me fix this, it makes Reddit unbearable to use

Profile Page has "New" Redesign, Rest of Reddit is still on the "Old" Redesign, how do I make it consistent?

This is really bothering me, I can't stand the inconsistency. How do I make my profile page match the look of my main page? It has a weird greenish tinge that looks like a mix of gasolene green and yellow mucus. Jumping from the regular black to this weird hue is jarring. The UI buttons are also inconsistent. I don't like it. How do I fix this? How do I opt out and just use the reddit I've been using for ~8 years now?

Am using Windows 10, with Edge browser. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Edit; I tried opting out of the redesign in settings, but that just took me to old.reddit.com. I'd just like the old redesign back.

Can't see beyond my most recent 8 posts/comments in my profile history

I've tried searching but only see posts about scrolling past 1,000 comments. For the last few days, I can't scroll past my most recent *eight* in both the Posts and Replies tab. No amount of refreshing will fix it. This wasn't the case until recently, as far as I can remember.

Using Reddit web on Firefox.

Can’t see URLs on link posts on the app, but only for one account?

I am using the mobile app on iOS 17.4. I have 3 Reddit accounts. On this one and one other, there is no issue. However, when I switch to the third account, it messes up. Both when scrolling the home page and when opening a specific post, the thumbnail for the link appears, but the text of the link is missing. Normally within the thumbnail there is white text with the URL, just not on this one account. On other accounts, the thumbnail is bigger when the post is open.

The problem has gone on for at least a couple days. Here it is with the post open without the URL. Here is the post open with a larger image and URL. When scrolling the homepage, the latter has URLs and the former doesn’t.

Is it an unavoidable bug? Is there a solution? Also, where can I report bugs?

Notifications for comments on someone else's post?

Sometimes I see a fresh post of someone asking a question and think, damn, I'd like to know the answer to that, too. And then I would love to be able to kinda "subscribe" to the post so I get a notification whenevery someone comments on it.

How do I hide posts from a certain subreddit?

I like sorting my feed by new to see latest posts but it’s flooded with AskReddit posts. How do I hide those but still see new posts from all my other communities?

I still wanna see AskReddit posts when sorting by hot so I can’t entirely leave or mute the subreddit, just wanna not see in new

Locked posts

Almost all of my (F48) comments get locked. This is extremely frustrating because I take time and care and effort in putting my advice together. I am also educated in psychology…I am ALWAYS kind and polite and caring. I’m reading comment after comment that CLEARLY break the rules and they aren’t locked…I pour over my comments after they are locked to try to find what I said that was objectionable, and I sincerely cannot find anything. Is it possible that a mod could be centring me out for some reason?

403 Error

Hi Folks,

I have been receiving a 403 error when trying to send private messages via the API. I was wondering if anybody has dealt with this issue before. I have implemented a rate limiter and we are sending maybe 3 messages an hour. Very confused as to why we are getting this error.

Any album that contains more than 3-4 images shows a blank error on mobile for the rest of the album, for a couple of months now. Doesn't matter if I am in desktop mode or if I use a different browser or if I clear my cache and restart the browser app...

I feel like I am taking crazy pills... For two+ months now, I have been getting errors on albums that contain more than 3-4 images

I have:

Switched browsers, deleted cache, tried desktop mode, tried being logged in and not logged in, tried force stopping the app, tried clicking on the post and trying compact and card mode, the only time I can get images to consistently is in old reddit...

I will post an example of what I see.

Posts getting "Removed by Reddit" automatically - subreddit mods can't explain

I've had this account for over 10 years now, but am only now having this issue.

Almost all of my latest posts are automatically "Removed by Reddit" - no matter the content or subreddit - despite being able to browse, comment, message others, etc. The subreddit moderators say this action is not taken by them or AutoMod (and I get the regular AutoMod comments that you get when you submit successfully) but the posts are immediately deleted.

Have submitted several tickets to Reddit support without hearing back. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a way to resolve?

“Secured account” achived today

I saw the new ui and clicked on achivements. It says “secured account” 13/3/2024 which is today. I have MFA on and have had since a few months, and have not gotten anything in the message page or mail. Nothing suspicous in history either. Is this just because it was available to view since today, as i havent seem this ui before

Cannot share videos to a Reddit community I created.

I recently created a private community for my lady and I to share videos with each other so we’re not spamming each others inbox with videos. The mod settings show that post type is any which includes videos. Why can’t I share videos to it? It says that this community does not allow videos?

Reddit says: "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit’s filters."

I just don't get it. I have been active on reddit since 2015 and I have over 5,000 karma points. I am trying to make a post in /r/orlando but I can't because it keeps getting removed with that message. That is the only subreddits I post in where I get that message yet I am active on that subreddit and frequent often. Please advise what I can do here.

Why cant I post?

I have been trying to post in the community "unsent letters" and I can't for some reason. I don't see anything about the rules about needing minimal karma. I am able to comment, but I can't share my posts or create new ones. Anyone have any ideas? I sent a message to the community help with no response.

Back Button Keeps Returning Me to the Top

I know this has been asked before, but I haven't found an answer that works in my case....

When scrolling through Reddit, I can click on a post, comment, whatever and it all works. But when I hit the "back" button to return to the scroll, it always takes me back to the "top" of Reddit regardless of where the post I clicked on had been. I used to sporadically have this problem, but now it is 100% of the time.

It makes surfing Reddit in any depth maddeningly pointless. This occurs whether I am on my phone, laptop, desktop, whatever.

Any suggestions?

When is everyone getting the new UI?

I've never been able to view acheivements, reddit streaks, or anything like that. My app still has the old layout. It never changed with any update.
