Comments showing up over posts

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?

I can’t update my email address

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.

Reddit account deleted

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.

How to schedule a post on my community with the Reddit app?

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?

Reddit doesn't let me turn the Dark mode on

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 can't make sub-bullets at all for some reason

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?

Anyway to stop notifications of popular posts from subreddits I’m in from appearing?

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.

How much Karma do I need to post stuff?

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?

Did he delete his messages?

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.

Has a solution come up for disabling upvote notifications?

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?

Is there a way to turn off notifications of popular posts from subreddits I'm not in?

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.

Videos keep muting, why?

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.

How do I recover old chat messages lost during the chat system update?

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!

How can I better control my feed?

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?

How to block all feeds from specific subject matters.

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.

I have turned off all notifications except replies. Yet I still get constant upvote updates?

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?
