So I want to change my username and not display name but reddit is allowing only that so how to change my username ,
Sometimes when I click on a post it shows a small pop-up comment over the picture or gif. I can remove it by clicking the x, but I think it's a really annoying feature. I want to see the post, if I want to read text I'll go to the comments. Is there a setting where I can turn this off?
When I created this Reddit account I didn’t create a password. The email I used no longer exists because I had to delete it two years ago because it was hacked. How can I update the email address and create a password? If I lost my phone or something I would never be able to sign back into my account. I wouldn’t want to have to start over.
My boyfriend claimed to delete his porn Reddit account, however I could still find the account. Does it take time to delete or does it delete straight away? I could search for it an hour ago, but now it no longer exists.
On mod tools, I can see the schedule post option but can't find any button to add post to it. Any thoughts, how to work on it?
Desktop Web, Win 10.
There seems to be a bug when I try to turn dark mode on in settings, it instantly return to light mode.
I tried to delete cache, log out and then reopen the browser, log in in Reddit and nothing changed.
I clicked to copy the image. I clicked Reply. I clicked Paste. It shows the image, but it says, Cannot be left blank," but it's not blank. I see the image. Thanks.
I've been able to make sub-bullets just by using the tab button, but for some reason it's not working anymore. In fact, even prior posts with sub-bullets will eliminate them if I edit it. What's going on?
So I’m in a lot of subreddits and in the last couple weeks or so I’ve been getting notifications from subreddits I’m subbed to. Some of these posts I haven’t even interacted with, it just seems to be a semi popular post in a subreddit I’m in. I don’t want notifications from posts i haven’t posted myself or replies to comments and I don’t know how to disable them.
i can't see how many people viewed my posts how do i get this feature back ?
I cannot post anything because my karma is too low and this results in me not gaining any karma. But even if I manage to get some karma how much do I need?
So I deleted my messages and blocked this guy on the reddit app on my phone (long story, it was a misunderstanding on my part). I checked our chat on the phone app and his messages were gone too and the chat was empty. However, when I checked online through my laptop, his messages were still in the chat. Did he delete his messages too? Was this a glitch?
I want to apologize to him.
I have been trying to interact with communities i like but i keep getting filtered because no karma points or age restrictions, im 23Yrs old, anyone have tips? 🙂
Specifically in the browser. I'm not using the app, just the browser. I have the switch off for upvotes in settings, but they are still coming in. And where can I complain about this to the company? Is there some channel or feedback form?
Reddit keeps pushing me those annoying notifications of posts I am not interested in, and I want them turned off. Is there a way to get rid of them? Clicking "don't show this type of notification" on mobile doesn't work, and on PC there is no option for that at all.
How can I block the r/politics sub from my news feed? I’ve muted them back months ago but they dominate the feed all the same .
Every video in every sub will keep muting mid video. The amount of times I’m watching a video and have to unmute every 3-5 seconds during the watch is very high. It’s been happening for about a week now. Is anybody else having this issue?
I’m using Reddit on mobile. Desktop does not have this issue.

Hi! I sent and received a bunch of chat messages using my reddit account in 2022, but following some kind of update to the chat system around 2023, all of those chats disappeared.
I followed advice that I read on one of the help subreddits and made a data request to try and recover the chats, but none of them were included in the data.
Please let me know if there's a way for me to get back these chats. Thank you so much!
Ever since the UHC incident my feed has been full of ragebait and politics. I'm relentlessly downvoting it, blocking posters, etc, in an attempt to teach the algorithm to stop showing me this junk, but it's not working. Is there a more effective way to take control over what I see?
Serious question: how do I block all content related to specific individuals from showing up in my reddit feeds? Sometimes posts of said individuals flood general categories (like r/pics), and What’s the best way to filter them out completely?
Edit: in respect of guidelines removed certain bits.
For the last month or so
I just want to browse Reddit without getting informed on whats happening around the World
I have turned off all notifications settings apart from comment/post replies, yet I still always get oranges about post upvotes. I don't care about them and it's irritating. Why do they still show?
I am using the safari browser on iphone 12, ios 18.1.1 - I do not use the app or have it downloaded.
I've also checked the settings in old.reddit and it made no difference. They've only started showing in the last month or so.
Any ideas?
