    How Do I Style Reddit's Chatbox?

    I know CSS and want to style the chatbox that pops out in reddit. But when I try to style it, the code doesnt stick. Should I be using a different URL to address the code to?

    Should this subreddit extend its blackout indefinitely?

    Hope you all had a nice little two day break from doom-scrolling, unfortunately it seems reddit is unwilling to budge on their roll-out of the API price hikes coming next month.

    In fact the reddit CEO thinks 'This will pass'

    In case you've been living in a cave for the past weeks you might wanna get caught up

    Here's where things stand: We need a consensus on how to move forward, without the community all this is futile.

    Voting will commence this afternoon and run for 24 hours.

    Make your vote below.

    Head's up: June 12th protest of Reddit's API changes.

    This subreddit will be joining in on the June 12th-14th protest of Reddit's API changes that will essentially kill all 3rd party Reddit apps.

    What's going on?

    A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

    On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

    Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .

    This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

    What's the plan?

    On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.

    The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

    What can you do as a user?

    • Complain. Message the mods of /r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on /r/reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.

    • Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join the coordinated mod effort at /r/ModCoord.

    • Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!

    • Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

    What can you do as a moderator?

    • Join the coordinated effort over at /r/ModCoord

    • Make a sticky post showing your support, A template has been created here you can use or modify to your liking, and be sure to crosspost it to /r/ModCoord.

    Thank you for your patience in the matter,

    -Mod Team

    Anyone thinks reddit is ever going to add CSS support to New Reddit?

    If not having that CSS option button in New Reddit is such a cocktease.

    they are about to pull the plug on old reddit.

    this is from a recent update from an admin. I think most people didn't read through this part - this is just a snippet from a very lengthy update that covered multiple topics.

    tldr: after unifying the app and desktop along with all the mod-tools they are planning to shutdown old.reddit

    you gotta read between the lines here

    after all these years I still can't get used to the redesign

    Once in a while I'll switch back to old-reddit and it's like a breath of fresh air. All the bloat is gone in an instant. That UI glitch where everything shakes is gone (a bug that has existed since 2018 by the way). Hyperlinks have a clear underline when you hover. Even the dreaded video player seems to be more responsive in old reddit.

    New design lacks shadows, contrast and outlines making it difficult to distinguish UI elements such as drop down menus. I invariably switch back because the rising tab is broken in old reddit, and I use it daily.

    CSS (experimental) in Sidebar

    "Please don't cry"

    So it seams there's a step in CSS direction.

    Mod Tools > Appearance > Sidebar widgets > Add Widget > Advanced > e voila ... Customs

    Experimental: custom visuals with CSS

    It counts for "bring the CSS back" ... well to be frank, the new reddit makes the world spin faster rather than having a "Christmas Tree" on each subreddit created... with errors or not, with resources banging on hosting servers or not, with a few bucks to "have your own subreddit theme made by professionals" or not...

    All is nice :)

    "Based on your feedback, we will allow you to continue to use CSS..." 3 Years have passed. Was this just a false promise to get everyone to back down? "This change is going to happen slowly" How slowly? 5 years? More? When do we get mad about this?

    reddit is monetising features in new reddit that can be done for free with CSS in old reddit. Simply put, we are never going to have CSS in new reddit.

    Reddit forced a redesign of the redesign adding hideous white space at the top of subs and removing the background feature for the menu bar. There's nothing mods can do about it. This is unacceptable. Let reddit admins know we need CSS in the redesign NOW!

    I like the idea of getting rid of CSS

    So, i've read some opinions on this and others subreddits but I don't get it. There are two questions being discussed at the same time:

    1. Disliking the new design
    2. Missing CSS customization feature.

    So lets talk about them.

    1. The new design

    It's fine to don't like the redesign Obviously, many of redditors on this sub find the old reddit better. But lets face the truth: it was good design for maybe 2005? And it's not suitable for 2019.

    It has bad typography, ugly full width links, can't open posts in the same tab w/o page reloading, unusable on mobile and has no dark theme.

    Yes, new reddit may look similiar to other social media. Yes, there are increased margins between blocks. But overall the new design is much more frienly than the old one.

    1. CSS customization

    I like how some subreddits look in the old reddit. But constant changing of design from post to post just ruins the experience. I know how it may sound but this is true. I as a user don't want theme to change every time I open post from the feed. I don't wanna know how the OP icon is displayed in specific subreddit.

    There are other reasons they will not bring css customization rn:

    - Security issues (no jokes)

    - They don't wanna guarantee current markup won't be changed in a future

    - CSS can decrease readability

    So that's my point. I know it disagrees with your opinion, so I'm ready for discussion

    it would never happen, here's why:

    I think reddit is trying to be the next twitter... but with communities like facebook. Maybe those words are not exactly on their agenda, but consider this: right now user profiles have matured to be on par with other social media websites. The overall look of ui resembles twitter. Even the customizations users have right now, like changing colors and banners, is exactly like twitter. Besides custom css can break a unified experience for new users - not to mention how it messes with running ads and promotions. So css hacks are not only low priority, they are risky from their point of view.

    Still no CSS in redesign. How hard is it to just unlock the doors to a quick and dirty CSS override panel? I don't care if it can break my sub's visual design - I'll just revert it and try again like I've been doing on Classic Reddit since the beginning of time.

    It was supposed to be here this year. I don't see what's so difficult about enabling a feature (override stylesheet as written by mods) that old reddit has had for a decade. Is there some convoluted or complicated new system that makes this difficult, or do they just not care about CSS?

    I've screwed up the CSS on my subreddit that I cant even edit it anymore.

    not sure where else to go , I'm not a design person. I program but not web dev stuff. I've been screwing around with the CSS on a stupid subreddit of mine and I screwed up today and can't even edit the CSS anymore. I've just been messing around with it lately for fun.

    My first thoughts are , can I disable CSS in the browser somehow to be able to edit it? and get rid of the CSS that is getting in the way. I tried getting on the sub on the new redesign or whatever and there is no option to edit the CSS.

    Sorry if this isn't in line with exactly what this sub is about , but given the circumstances I thought it would be a good place to go

    EDIT: Alright it'll stay for now , I appreciate that ya'll enjoyed my stupidity.

    u/FizixMan, congratulations on a brilliant job!

    Needless to say, the Abridged Style Settings of the so-called redesign offer NOTHING compared to this beauty.
