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

Pretty Mobile Reddit (3.1) - Addon for firefox mobile to make the old.reddit.com pages more mobile friendly.

https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/pretty-mobile-reddit/

Uses the old.reddit url and makes it mobile friendly. Block subreddits you prefer not to see.

  • with firefox dark-mode enabled - many layout optimizations
  • modest re-styling of the main pages, menus and comment pages.
  • swipe left to open the side bar starting right of center
  • swipe right to open header menu starting left of center
  • cache based subreddit blocking and management (see bottom of the page for blocked subreddits)

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to achieve bulk adding using old.reddit.com or RES (v5.22.17), but it seems that all of the found suggestions are outdated since the options referenced no longer exist in the reddit interface.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

This keep getting worse. Now can't even see NSFW tagged thread in mobile web. Previously can still see post but only with thread content censored. Still, I won't switch to the app.

Mobile constantly redirecting to desktop site

Anyone else having this? The mobile site constantly, and seemingly at random, changes into the desktop site. This used to happen, however much more rarely, and it could be worked around by logging out and then back in. NOW it happens on almost every click

after months of the new UI, reddit is still unusable

hello everyone, dunno if this post will be read by anyone because this sub is being filled with off topic posts but whatever...

so, starting with the issues

  1. infinite scrolling gets laggy/refresh the content of the page sendind you back to the top at random

  2. closing the preview of the pics by swiping move the content behind it up (the content being the list of the posts)

  3. at random, when i open a preview, there's a chance that the url get stucked to that preview (why does it have to change the url in the first place?). if by any means i go into any post and then go back, i'll go to that post for which i only opened the preview.

  4. the same happens when i load more comments and somehow it got stucked there and i can't go back to the list of the post

if anyone from reddit will read this, add an optin option for the old layout. like old.reddit but for mobile.

thanks a lot

How do I show a complete comment thread on the mobile app?

When I go to my notifications and get a notification that says I have a new comment to one of my comments, I click on it to take me there. But sometimes I want to see all the comments to just my comment, not the entire thread. How do I do that?

Do they finally kill mobile web Reddit?

Used the site frequently in both of my phone. On phone A it started to just display old reddit since 2 or 3 days ago. Usually it open mobile web version unless I checkmark "desktop site". Phone B opened mobile web as usual until few hours ago. Now it just open old reddit page.

Please rectify this

I am currently using the Realme 6i device model no : RMX2002 , currently at android 11 and Realme ui version 2.0, all the Realme/Oppo mobiles come with few bloatware applications amongst those is the 'Phone manager' app this is basically a free antivirus software which an user cannot uninstall through the universal method of uninstalling apps in android platform.Yesterday I suddenly got this notification from the application and it just confused me and it has been worrying me since then , I checked the app and ran a scan for viruses there it showed 'secure' then what was this message for ? Am really having a virus in my phone? Please rectify if it's suggesting a serious malware attack or just a shady self promotion attempt by the application to grab my attention so that I open it atleast once . By the way I am using the 14.12.1 version of the phone manager app ie - the latest version so far. I would also like to mention that I rarely use the 'phone manager' app ie - once in 7 months probably.

When it can't get any worse, it did

Seriously, why are the only two options old reddit in desktop mode and new reddit so zoomed in that this subreddit name takes 5 lines?

Yet when I open an incognito tab, that brings up the old mobile web layout.

Seriously why?
