Hello, so I want to change my username but I can't because my account is older than 30 days, i was wondering why has Reddit not this feature of changing usernames like in Discord for example, I wold love to see a Reddit with this functionality

Downvote bots have been an issue for years. Anyone posting a question usually gets downvoted just because it isn't "content" and that limits the post's visibility. Some toxic users mass downvote comments and posts to make theirs appear higher, and people can anonymously harass users they don't like by downvoting anything they post. This kind of behaviour can't be identified by mods or traced back to specific users either so nothing can be done about it

Although downvoting seems alright in principle, it allows users (and bots) to be toxic and have a negative impact on others' posts and comments

If downvoting was removed, content that would normally be downvoted would still appear lower and get relatively less engagement as all the other content still gets upvoted and would still appear above it. This would stop users from attacking the visibility of others' posts and causing them to flatline early by downvoting just because they don't like them

Removing downvotes would also prevent some users feeling harassed or annoyed when they see that multiple people have downvoted their comments as Reddit wouldn't show that and their comment would remain at +1 instead

YouTube removed the dislike counter and other social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok don't have a dislike button, so why does Reddit still have an option that enables toxicity and limits others' engagement?

Often I find that I want to 'read the room' to get a good perspective on what people think about a given thing. It feels like a lot more people are willing to click on a button to indicate support than actually post a reply, so having a poll function where you could click to demonstrate your answer and which could show the results of the poll as it changes would be a good inbetween there.

There used to be a box you could type into and the list of joined subs would shorten, only including subs with names matching the characters typed.

E.G. I could type music and only see the subs I'm in that have music anywhere in the name instead of the big long list of all my subs.

It would be great to have this feature reinstated.

Title. I would like to be able to get a notification any time a post is created to the SubReddit, automatically. I would like to be able to do this for as many SubReddits as I choose. Thank you!

Edit: This isn’t important, but if possible, maybe also when a post reaches x upvotes or x comments.

I would like to be able to filter saved posts by SubReddit and other parameters. Furthermore, I would also like to be able to sort saved posts from best, hot, newest, oldest, controversial, and comment count. Thank you!

I moderate a subreddit about an ongoing homicide case. This involves regularly uploading screenshots of court documents and redacting information to comply with Reddit’s policy regarding personal information.

Unfortunately, in some post types, I cannot replace an image after the post has been published. This means that if I have overlooked information that requires redaction, I must delete the post, edit the image on my own software, and reupload the screenshots in a new post.

Simple inline redaction tools could solve this problem. I could simply redact information from the screenshots through edits without removing the post entirely.

Thank you.

Hi, as said above. I'm finding it annoying as a user expecting to find alerts about post replies or messages, but instead just finding "There's been a new post in a sub you've joined!".

I also believe that it dilutes the functional purpose of notifications being focused on things such as post replies and direct messages.

I have tried to make use of the option I found under "Settings > Notifications > Community notifications" to disable per-sub, but this has two problems:

a) It's annoying having to do this per-sub; and

b) The list appears to have some hard-coded limit on listed subs. Mine are listed alphabetically and seem to cap out somewhere around the letter D.

This is partly feedback and partly a bug report, but please at least consider adding an option to blanket-filter these notifications out.

The Problem: There is an issue in parts of Reddit.com, mostly involving politics. Sheltered communities (a nicer word for hate communities), in order to protect themselves from unwanted and foreign opinions, facts & criticism pre-ban users who participate in other communities.

This is (partly) an issue since in theory a user who logs into Reddit.com and makes a political opinion in one community can find himself banned from a host of the opposing political view.

This is something that is somewhere against the rules of Reddit but since enforcement is done manually, enforcement was minimized.

Suggested solution 01 (data is partially available): The solution is to not share user's comments & post freely with all. Comments & post will be revealed to mods and only the data relevant to their communities. That is mods will only see a users comments & posts that were made in his community.

Suggested solution 02 (data isn't available): I'm listing this as a possible solution since the work on this solution is easier. This basically blocks access to a users comments & post history completely without any exceptions to all users & mods. (obviously reddit/admins will still have access).

Summery: This requires a decision if the solution is acceptable then the slower process of going over the code to fit the solution.

I know this isn't an easy fix but this automate the process of enforcing the rule and completely eliminates the pre-banning tactics used in some places on Reddit.com

It would be nice if instead of having to send multiple comments when sending pictures you can just put it all in one comment and in the slideshow type format its in when you are making a post, this makes it more convenient since you won't have to make multiple comments.

log in on reddit is erroneous. You have to jump between new and old reddit. Frequently you get error messages when you attempt to log in.
On a forum running the discourse software I noticed an additional log in option. After entering your username a link displays saying skip the psswd email me a log in link. Clicking the link you receive an email containing a link that when clicked logs you in into the forum. I suggest reddit adds this log in option to the log in methods already provided. Thanks.

A lot of subs are ban happy. The more ideologically driven a sub is the more ban happy it tends to be. I think that's ok - one of the great things about Reddit is community ownership of each sub. However - some subs which are the WORST offenders of being ideologically driven and ban happy are front page subs.

It sucks to see obvious untruths and lies all the time on like r/popular and not even be able to interact with the post to refute the nonsense.

Make it so users who are banned can mute a subreddit so that its posts NEVER appear anywhere for that user unless they search them out.

It's SO tiresome going to the front page and seeing obvious untruths that are not being addressed and then seeing them celebrated in the comments.

If we had community notes the front page would be filled with less rage bait and much more enjoyable to use.

Can y'all please give us an option to make the options bar at the bottom of the mobile app stay visible all of the time. Having to back out a half dozen times or scroll to the top of my feed just to see if I have a message is so frustrating.

Been seeing an extremely large uptick in report abuse recently and something like this would help manage the problem.

The beauty of Reddit is that you can have asynchronous conversations with others on shared topics of interest.

Why not flag all new activity in a subreddit: new comments as well as new posts.

Right now only the specific poster or commenter will be notified if there is a new comment or reply to their comment, respectively.

Why can't the rest of the Community be notified of the new comment and revitalized discussion?

With Reddit opened up to Google search, I often find relevant posts that are older. But if I want to reinvigorate the discussion, I have to create a new post for it to get any attention.

This leads to a lot of repetitive and disorganized content that is hard to follow or engage with.

My $0.02.

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.
