Can you add a way to zoom, in photos and just in the normal post.

In the current app design, whenever you download anything or take an action (such as bookmarking) a white/green bar pops up for 7-8 seconds letting you know the download started, finished, or failed or whatever else you did was successful or failed.

If you're trying to do multiple things quickly, like download multiple photos and/or bookmark or other activities, this massively slows you down because the pop-up last for so long each time you do something and it covers much of the options bar in the process (see screenshotted photo). If you're trying to download photos from a 10-photo gallery, something that should take seconds, it can easily take a minute, for example.

I could be misremembering, but I thought the noticificarions used to appear at the top of the screen (and be less intrusive), away from the options menu towards the lower screen, whereas currently they overlap. Notifications at the top of the screen would be the easiest common sense solve , but even if the bar were not as wide at the bottom it wouldn't fully block the options menu.

Greetings and felicitations. I like the thread search in new Reddit very much, but it does not search for user names. I often forget if I've already posted in threads, and would like an easier way to check than scrolling through sometimes hundreds of comments.

Greetings and felicitations. I realize that this is trivial, but the color of the chat notifications in image preview windows is a slightly darker red in desktop mode than the standard Reddit bright red. Please change it to match the rest of the site.

Issue: Some subs have a minimum word count requirement for the text portion of posts, with the consequence for not meeting it being that the post gets removed for being a "low- effort post"

Suggestion: Implement a word counter for the text section. There is already a character counter for titles, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement

I love to browse the news panel on my ios devices, however I recall there being an option previously to control what kinds of news you want to see - this seems to have disappeared. Of late most of the news is stuff I'm not interested in.

It would be really good to mute communities Eg: I don’t want news on sports or politics. Can’t hide it, and it dominates the new articles posted. I end up scrolling tons of stories I'm not interested in and just give up and go to a different site. There should be a way to customize this feed!

Also it would be good to de-duplicate where multiple reddit threads post the same article. When something major happens it's kind of annoying - This would be great to have a feature flag! maybe then offer to select the most popular thread or latest as the "one you read"

Hi! First time posting here:-) Hope I'm using the right flair.

This is some kind of a cross idea from seeing how Reddit has a delicious "top post from 3 years ago today" + something else that got on my mind.

One of the subs I joined is an askfield sub. And by the feed recs I get from it, there're many people asking somewhat only nominally related questions with some repetition and without many people discussing under them (possibly from redditors seeing the irrelevance) nowadays. Today I happened to read a quoted older thread on this sub with much helpful discussion from some years back, and remembered from 2021 there seemed to be more of this kind of in depth posts I used to make scores of screenshots to save them locally and read later. (This account is new but I did find a lot of useful information in searches before.) My idea of that moment was "I'd love to browse through the sub in that year".

While for this sub its current state is righteously how the sub has developed, and while there is doing subreddit searches using a key word, and while there is no guarantee a past view would always be a more alluring one, I believe there is an irreplaceable something from browsing the list of unrelated threads to discover new things, especially as what gave me the idea was a sub for a field I don't have a holistic view of, which makes choosing your year really tempting. There're also many other similar or entirely different possibilities. I have quite often seen people mention a not entirely welcome development in subs they love. The subjectivity of this sentiment aside, wouldn't it be nice if users can jump back and forth between browsing "this sub in June 2019" and its current contents?

Scroll mode is already weaker in this aspect than skippable pages (not that older threads won't be commented anew and maybe made scattered), not to mention if an older design of webpage ui has numbered pages it would be harder to use on phones, and we constantly have a swarm of bots and there is the divided preference on AI content and any such thing, I truly think this might be a thing to add to general joy.

Edit: some more clarity. Pardon my immature English 😭

Please can modmails be noted/linked in user notes?

Sometimes it's important to be able to see the whole user history with the sub including mail, especially if the user was harassing, but also if they responded well or were helpful in modmail it's good to be able to look back and see that and get a complete picture, not just for enforcing rules but also potentially hiring mods and spotting helpful users.

Recently the ability to swipe up or down to switch between videos was replaced by having to swipe right or left. I, and many others, find this incredibly annoying and/or inconvenient. Swiping right or left when using one hand while doing something else (like eating) with my other hand is nearly impossible for me, not to mention my phone has the gesture feature of swiping in from either side being a back button, so more often than not I end up accidentally backing out of the video stream rather than moving to the next. I understand it may be nice for some people, but I believe an option in settings to toggle between the two would be the best solution for everyone.

Currently, Reddit allows users to view posts they have upvoted, which is incredibly useful for revisiting valuable content. However, there is a noticeable absence of a similar feature for upvoted comments. While I am aware that it is possible to save posts for later reference, I believe that adding the ability to view upvoted comments would greatly improve the functionality and usability of the platform.

Loads of projects and organizations get feature requests to enhance their products, software or processes all the time but they often turn them down or won't do anything about them because they either don't have the funding to have people make it happen or they are not sure people will want it.

I would love to suggest feature requests to an organization and already have my money and other crowd support upvotes also backed by money to encouraging them to make it happen. Basically enable the public to make more appealing feature requests.

I am imagining a hybrid of Uservoice and Kickstarter.

Anyone know of an example where this has already been tried? Successes? Failures?

A bright yellow ad when I'm using dark theme is unacceptably distracting and moderately painful.

Also, please never start accepting animated or video ads (I think I've never seen any here). Trying to read with even a small ad like that is just ridiculous.

We run r/VPS and have a single sticky where providers of related services are only allowed to post offers there. We want scores hidden because oftentimes these comments get hate, but also we want the newest comment to show up on top. Since Reddit allows to set suggested sort and have contest mode enabled at the same time, why would the latter cancel the first?

pls fix

Since a recent update, if a post contains a link, you don't see at all where the link takes you to until you click on it.

You must revert back this. It's essential to identify quickly where a source comes from.

Currently , all proceeds from awards go directly to reddit. I agree that a big chunk of this money should indeed go to reddit. But it would also be nice if the users get a share - to encourage more and better content. Has this been discussed or tried earlier?

The "mature-content filter" should add the NSFW tag to posts.

It's easy to do myself, but it's tedious.

Everything that gets filtered could be tagged by Reddit

...or better yet, the tag could be applied when you press "yes" for "is this accurate?"

(I'd also like an Automod rule for adding the tag. Maybe it could add "nsfw" to all posts from new users, and then I could remove the tag manually from the few posts that don't need it.)

As a marketer myself (and we spend many millions on Reddit ads) I would not want my media spend going to users who are self-identifying as disinterested in my campaign.

As a user I want to either have ad frequency cap settings or at least have the ad report feature provide some recourse from seeing the same ad over and over again, especially when that ad upsets me.

There have been a handful of ads that I've reported many times only to still see them thousands more times.

This is an awful experience.

I've noticed a trend recently where users will make image posts solely for the purpose of drawing other's attention for a discussion post. Most people ignore text posts because nobody wants to read it, but simple question/image posts nearly always draw eyes and get on the top of the front page of a sub.

Why not just give us the option for a text post to appear like an image post with a custom thumbnail? Then we can make more in-depth discussion posts instead of either simplifying it to a single question or having a decreased chance anyone will look at it.

Certain subs will automatically ban you if you are part of a certain other sub and honestly, This turns the place into a bit of a dictatorship.

This really isn't actually something for the admins but it's the only channel I got.

Can reddit please tell me that comments are locked before write them? It's really annoying to type out a small essay only to have reddit tell me "nuh-uh" when I press post.

I should not even be able to get into the text window when comments are locked.

###Pretext So I made a post about the reorder feature being abused and have also contacted the admins about my situation. However despite admitting the system isn't perfect and that it has negatively impacted a real user, they say they are unable to reverse it (unable meaning won't). While I appreciate a human like response and sympathies I do not like the lack of accountability or willingness to right a wrong; especially to someone loyal & vital to their platform.

Now that is just pretext for what I'm about to say - despite the fact this system isn't perfect, it isn't the main point of the post - theirs one simple thing that could've prevented this all from happening so I wanted to make a post dedicated to this single piece of feedback.

###Idea

Major updates should NOT just be posted to r/ModNews. I totally understand most features just being posted there but if you add a new feature that can literally REMOVE YOU from your own subreddit you built, don't you think it's important to actually alert moderators via a message so they get a real notification about the feature?

I'm subscribed to r/ModNews, but I'm also subscribed to many other subreddits so it's very easy to miss an announcement. The fact a feature this large was just posted in a subreddit with and that was the only notification moderators had to prepare for it, is unacceptable imo.

So to summarize - I've used Reddit for a very long time, never has missing a mod update been catastrophic for me, its always some sort of harmless or optional new feature, this was a major rare exception. So my feedback is that going forward alert people via messages that this change could effect. There is so much niche/pointless stuff reddit feels the need to notify users about, add something important like this to that, seems like common sense. Thank you for reading, hope the idea finds people well.

My account was shadow banned and I was talking into the ether with no one to hear it for weeks before I realized. Apparently the fact that I commented a bunch after starting a new account was flagged as spam. However, I wasn’t able to post for real unless I had karma which i was told I had to engage with the community in comments to get. So, my attempts to get karma got me shadow banned and because there is no actual help number, no one could review it to undo the shadow ban. Very frustrating.

While we’re at it, I think we should have more than one moderator vote to ban someone, in case a mod gets trigger happy.

Start categorizing them so it gives people incentives to join different ones to build a feed.

Start by size, then related ones. Maybe market the small niche ones as “Reminders” to keep people updated on a certain topic.

It would change absolutely nothing, but help bridge people to other subreddits.

Can we get this to reload from the cache? The way it is now it goes to the web and reloads a ton of new posts, thus losing my place. It also takes more time to do that.

account switcher built into the reddit website - like the account switcher on the app - but for the desktop website

If you edit a post that already has likes and comments, it is usually viewed negatively because it looks like cheating. Editing is usually useful only for correcting typos, not for introducing any new ideas into the original post.
It would be nice if there was some kind of separate section under the post for add-ons, so that it would be clear that these are add-ons and not some kind of cheating when you are trying to hide something that turned out to be unpopular.
