Making an effective post

Support for keyboard left/right arrow keys and touchpad swipe gestures to scroll between images.

Same for focused posts with multiple images.

Sounds kinda racist, but I promise it isn’t. I just hate when I’m browsing Reddit and I see a post from my country. Every single post I get from my country is extremely political, and I just hate politics. There should at least be a mass mute feature that lets you mute every post from specific subs without them having to be recommended to you first.

This feature exist on other platforms. Unfortunately, there's no proper way of sharing a comment, or a post within a comment, besides placing a URL, which doesn't translates into an embedded version of it.

I don't know if there's such a notification for crossposting, but at least in "new" Reddit you could see the crossposts of a post. This feature could also be adopted, and also exists on other platforms, and could be extended for comments too.

Is there a way to leave the title of the question open and leaving only the user nickname missing meaning “deleted” after a user decides to delete its account? i have found multiple post, that i have saved for future readings, unreadable or completely confusing to understand after the user removed its account and the question was missing. Is there any roadmap to fix this issue? 🤔

I think there should be a more specific way to search for and find specific comments you have made in some way on your profile, and have your comment history organized with some way to filter/organize what comments you made in which subreddit you're in, to find them easier.

If you're subbed to a lot of other subreddits, you currently have to just scroll through pages of all your posts regardless to find something, even comments you save for yourself.

There is no way to quick search or to categorize/filter comments from where you posted them on. Especially if you frequent some subs more than others.

I'd like some sort of search and filter system on your profile both for current reddit and old reddit.

On Reddit, when you go to a comment link, you will have some of its ancestors too. Sometimes you won't be able to tell which is the comment you were linked to.

A better way is to show the comment under the post, separated from its descendant comments, where you could load one level up each time, and they will appear on top of each other without additional indentation, similarly to how it's in Twitter/X and its alternatives (like Mastodon and BlueSky).

Any descendants of the comments will appears as usual, with indentation.

Another possible addition could be that you could load both from the bottom (current comment) and the top (the OP), but it could require more computation, although threads don't go so deep, so it won't have a significant effect.

I know some prefer the older UIs of Reddit. It could be more understandable for the subdomains to be just v1 ("old"), v2 ("new") and v3 ("sh").

Another problem which rises when using an older UI is that you have to constantly change the URL or to use a browser extension that will do it for you. A better way could be to have a cookie to determine which version you want to use. It could allow more flexibility by allowing subversions too, as those probably exist.

I know that "old" (or v1) Reddit is used also because is's lightweight. It could be also quite handy to have a cleaner version of the "old" (or v1) Reddit called "mini" (or anything else), because at least to my opinion it currently looks like a huge mess (and relies on some obsolete customization features).

It seems unbelievable that after 20 years, Reddit still does not offer support for minority languages on either its app or desktop site. All major (and minor) social networks do. Perhaps celebrating Reddit's 20th anniversary is a good time to address this.

Some people like them, and more power to them. For me they are a reminder of the times I’m not doing so great and spending too much time on Reddit instead of out in the world. It could be a toggle just like the one for the banana counter.

I have and android tablet and the app just doesn't rotate to landscape mode, especially when my tab is 14 inches. Please something has to be done. I was surprised to see reddit not optimised for android tablet. Aslo when in portrait and I click a post with video it automatically plays the video in landscape mode instead of showing the post and no I did not click on the video but on the area around the border. Thank you.

It would be great to be able to filter comments in a post so that you only see comments responded to by OP. It’s inconvenient to go to their profile to find them.

Sorry if this has been asked before!

I don't care what you guys do here. Reddit was meant for people to make an open discussion. This app now became anti-communication because of those victim mindset. And banned shouldn't be allowed in this app. Why get rid of the negativity when that's the purpose of discussion and communication. There should be positive and negative vibe around this app. And people should be freely to discuss anything and whatever they want as their own opinion and people should learn to respect that as an individual and nobody should dismissed it. After all this app should be civilized and not a toxic who just to make the up peace when it isn't. If you hated the person you can just use block and blocked each other that way nobody can communicate each other. It's toxic if the mod is involved and just get rid of the user on the sub.

Some subreddits outright forbid simple questions, but that's because the feed of users cannot be controlled.

If users could filter out "Simple Questions", all subreddits with that flair will stop appearing in their feed. If a subreddit has "Questions" instead of "Simple Questions", you can filter both by blacklisting both "Questions" and "Simple Questions"

I'd like to propose two new paid features that could generate significant revenue while giving users more control over their contributions:

Paid Comment Locking - $5 - Users can pay $5 to permanently lock their own comment - Locked comments cannot be voted on, replied to, or removed by moderators - Only Reddit administrators can override the lock - Lock status remains even if the user is later banned - Provides users a way to "seal" their contributions

Paid Comment Pinning - $5 - Users can pay $5 to pin their own comment - Pinned comments always display first in threads, ordered by pin time - Pin status cannot be overridden by moderators - Pin remains even if the user is later banned - Gives users a way to ensure visibility of key contributions

Moderator Considerations: - While mods cannot override pins/locks, they retain: - Full ability to ban users from their subreddit - Control over all unpaid comments - All other standard moderation tools - This preserves core moderation capabilities while respecting paid features

Benefits: 1. New revenue stream for Reddit 2. Users get more control over their contributions 3. Valuable for users sharing important information, corrections, or updates 4. Simple to implement with existing infrastructure 5. Clear value proposition for users

When a post gets flagged as 'Awaiting Moderator Approval', it can sit for many hours on an active sub before being approved. When it's approved, it incorrectly gets "posted" at the original timestamp, instead of when the mod approved it. This means that all posts which require moderator approval will likely never show up when sorting by new.

How to fix: change the 'Posted' DateTime for posts that have been approved by the Moderator to the DateTime that the Mod approved them, so they enter the board normally.

As it stands, these posts (which are actually the target of MORE work by the sub), are essentially providing no value to the sub, since those who sort by new won't ever see them unless they scroll back for hours of posts.

Hi!

I think it would be a great idea to add this feature to user profiles. The feature I refer is this one from a community that clearly shows pinned posts.

I believe this would be awesome to have in user profiles where pinned posts are hard to differentiate from other posts as you can see in the following screenshot.

Thanks in advance! I am sure you already have this idea in mind!

Tumblr has a function where you can block whole phrases while seeing the rest of what a user post, that’s how I could keep following my favorites while blocking all their Critical Role spam.

If you're going to push New Reddit on everyone and remove features from Old Reddit, at least bring back the Random and Random NSFW buttons for New Reddit. You say they were low usage, but did you even stop to consider that some people liked these features? Part of the fun in going on Reddit was the random browsing and discovery of new interests and hobbies - that of which was a huge side effect of using these buttons. Now, you're just forcing everyone to stick to their Home or Popular feeds, which is incredibly short-sighted...

No wonder people are fed up with the bullshit and becoming vigilantes.

I've been using Reddit for years to seek advice on certain topics, but finally created an account now that I have an interest to get involved in specific communities.

As I search through posts, I have been saving the ones that are helpful. I just went back to find the saved posts and it's kinda buried in my profile...three clicks down.

Search box at top of Saved page tab
It would be great to have a way to search through your saved posts to save time and increase usability. I've seen a number of requests for this.

Filter by subreddit
I saw a request for this and it makes sense.

Folders or categories to organize saved posts
I've seen a number of requests for this as well. This would be very useful.

Save icon in top header for quick access
I'm in favor of replacing the "Advertise on Reddit" icon in the top header with the "Save" icon given there is an Advertise link on the left side menu. The advertise icon in the top header just doesn't seem relevant to everyone, but I understand why it's front and center.

Popup for saved posts. When you click on the save icon, have a popup similar to notifications to show your most recent posts saved. The search box, filters, and folders could also be in the popup, along with the See All button at the bottom.

At the very least, please include a "Saved" link in the top section of the left menu under All.

Thank you!

Background: I run a food sub.

Oftentimes an author provides a recipe. Since this sometimes can take some time, other comments may already have been posted by the time the author does provide it.

It would be helpful to make such a recipe comment a sticky for such a post.

I can think of tons of other use cases.

I noticed recently on the subreddit r/cfb that there is a post flair called “Game Thread” but on the app the ability to filter for that specific flair is not there. After inquiring about it, I learned from a mod that this can be done on browser as all the flairs are available to be filtered for, however in iOS/app there is a limit to the number of flairs that are available to be filtered, and those flairs are selected more or less randomly to be displayed on the app (from what I was told by the mod).

This would be a quality of life improvement on many subs. In r/cfb, for example, the “game thread” flair is very frequently used, so it feels like an oversight for it not to be available for direct filtering on the subs main page. It can still be filtered in the search, but it would be simplified if all flairs used on a sub could be filtered for!

It would be cool if you changed the color of a feed to represent its theme, Calm, Excited, Wave, Nighttime, etc.

Hi, Please allow the iPadOS or iOS to be installed and used on macOS (Apple Silicon) like the official X app can be.

1. In older web browser versions if you highlighted test in a post or comment and hit reply it would add those to your comment and mark it as quoted. Wish this was still the case.

2. Why can I subscribe to posts on IOS apps but there is no way to subscribe on web browser?

Additional thought on IOS apps - I wish there was an way to format text without trying to remember the old markdown symbols - something similar to the web browser version. Things like quoting a section, or selection a section of text for bold or italic.
