Triple dot menu transparent all of a sudden?

The triple dot button on any comment that opens a menu from the bottom of the screen is suddenly transparent. Like it opens, but no longer in the foreground layer and my inputs go right through it to whatever is behind it. Anyone else seeing this?

Click post load the same tab even with “open posts in new tabs” turn on

What the title say. On mobile ios and www.reddit.com, it does open in new tab but the same tab also load and I have to go backward on tab to make it go back to front page. Work normally on desktop for some reason. It does look like you are still on the front page but after reload tab it's on the post, not front page. Never have this problem on new.reddit.com before.

[iOS] Select text from a comment

When I was on Android, I had the ability to highlight and copy text from the comment (and OP’s post) I’m replying to. (Idk if it’s still available). When I got an iPhone, I realized I can’t do that because by holding down just collapses the comment, even if I’m in the middle of typing a reply.

Instinctively I keep trying to do it lol, just to end up annoying me that I now have to; take a SS—save to photos—switch to photos—open the SS—and finally copy the text I’m trying to quote—then go back to the app to continue replying.

It’s such a simple function but it is a QoL function. I can’t be the only one that would appreciate this…pleeasss 🙏🏻

Photo layout

Today I see there had been a change to the layout of photos. If there are more than one photo, the mobile site tries to Squash them all on screen together. R/comics is unreadable, as are any posts with more than 2 pictures. Please stop.

Comments disappearing

You spend time writing a lengthy comment, hit "Post", only for the comment to not be posted and the text box cleared.

Do the devs even test their changes before making them live!?

Am I crazy or is it getting even slower???

I don't know how it's possible but in the last month mobile web seems to have gotten even slower than before.... Threads take forever to load at this point.... Am I hallucinating or is anyone else noticing??? It's almost like the devs have added long timeouts to every single function lmao

edit: it's taking like 30s+ just to load a thread with comments.... almost a minute!! i don't have enough time on my breaks to look at reddit anymore lol

Comments removing extra lines

Basically in comments, if I type something like "line 1 Line 2" I'll get "line 1 Line 2" If I type "line 1

Line 2" It shows up fine but I can't have only 1 line break. Just me? Ios

JFC can you tone down the app nagging?

First you take away our ability to turn off the nag, then you change the format of the nag, and now it's nagging every hour instead of daily.

What do you think this is going to achieve other that annoying people who can't/won't use the app even more?

I swear to god I'm starting to believe the theory that you're crippling mobileweb on purpose.

“View more comments” frustration

When on my phone and reading a reddit post there's a pinned comment and one real comment before I get the "view more comments" button I have to hit to see the full comment section. This has got to be driving down engagement. I suggest you make the comment section load as I scroll down so I don't have to click the button, or at least include a few more comments.

Ads between Comments

What hellspawn crawled out of his crevice to bring us this cesspool soaked turd? Full blown ads between comments, ya'll are determined to piss your userbase off. Guess I just gotta' use a better mobile browser with ad block because fuck that noise.

Add ability to bulk-add subreddits to a custom feed + ability for custom feeds to have > 100 subreddits

To create a custom feed, this is the current process: Generate a list of all the subreddits I belong to/am interested in, individually click into each one, click “add …”, select the custom feed to add it to, click save, exit back to the main page, enter another subreddit manually ….

This is horrifically laborious.

I have looked up ways trying to achieve bulk adding using old.reddit.com or RES (v5.22.17), but it seems that all of the found suggestions are outdated since the options referenced no longer exist in the reddit interface.

Regarding the 100 limit: The limit of 100 seems arbitrary and the UI has no error messaging when hitting a limit - apparently reddit just starts deleting other subreddits from the custom feed. I just spent a great deal of time adding many subreddits to a custom feed, only to realise I guess I must have gone over 100 because some of the subreddits I had already added disappeared, but the UI issued no warning that I had reached the 100 limit and continued allowing me to “add” more subreddits. 100 is not very many, I am trying to curate a thorough custom feed on a particular topic and there are well over 100 subreddits I need to add.

Anyone else having problems with saving comments?

Basically the title, maybe it's just me but whenever I try to save a comment it says it's been saved successfully but I can't view it when I go to my saved comments. I can save posts most of the time, but sometimes they won't save either.

Why is the web verson so laggy?

When I'm on reddit and I check my notifications and press on one it is so laggy and takes a long time to load or doesn't so I have to reload it. And when I press on a post it takes so long to load. At first I thought it might be my WiFi or phone but it's not. Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me? Is there a fix?

Gallery Images do not load more when swiping through gallery, only using left/right navigation button presses

Using Chrome browser on Android.

Background of where issue occurs: This occurs when you either open an image gallery post on mobile web, or open a image gallery in a modal by tapping an image thumbnail.

What is broken/What occurs:

  1. Open a gallery and it will automatically load the first 4 images of the gallery.
  2. If you SWIPE right to see the next image you will see image 4 but all images 5 and beyond will not be loaded and will never load

If you instead tap the left/right arrow buttons images will load. The swipe interaction must not trigger the image load action the same way the left/right arrow navigation buttons do. The same load more images action needs to be applied to the swipe interaction.

Scrolling freezes constantly

ios 18. iPhone 15 on Safari.

Clicking through to a username and then going back fixes it, but any new pages freezes after 3 seconds or so. I had this in the past and it cleared up eventually. Logged out and logged back in and still present. Any ideas?

Shifting Elements

When minimizing the top two comments to click View More Comments, the entire fucking page and all its elements shifts up, causing a mislick on the button of View More and instead throwing the mouse directly on a link for recommended links. Size your dam elements, and get rid of that PoS section beneath the threads you enshittification incarnate website
