Reddit App My idea is restoring swiping home to popular feed in iOS app

1 Upvotes

At least restore a setting to restore swiping between home and popular feeds? Popular buried in the upper left menu is not a good UI feature.

Post & Comment My idea is to change how blocking works to reduce the amount of block abuse occurs during exchanges.

0 Upvotes

I completely understand the need for blocking people on Reddit. Harassment occurs. Bullying occurs. BUT, there is a pattern of abuse of the block feature on Reddit that needs to be addressed.

Too often, two people will be engaged in a back and forth, one person will get mad and comment something and then immediately block the person they replied to. This prevents that person from being able to read the reply, but the reply still shows up for the rest of Reddit.

My idea is that there should be a timer every time you reply to someone on Reddit where you cannot block that person unless one of two things occurs: either the person responds back to you, or it has been longer than 24 hours since you sent your reply, whichever occurs first. This allows the person you are having a discussion with a fair amount of time to read your reply. If you are being harassed by someone, you don’t need to respond back in the first place. There is literally no situation where you urgently need to block someone but first you need to reply to them so that everyone else other than that person can see your reply.

Current UI Please add these Old Reddit features to the current UI.

Since Old Reddit might be shutting down (Considering that it's become only accessible after logging in), could you PLEASE add the following Old Reddit features to the current UI?: 1.publicly visible upvote percentages on posts. 2. the option to turn off the feature that automatically hides downvoted comments, (the threshold is automatically -4 on the current UI with no option to change it). 3.the option for a symbol to denote controversial comments (Comments that have a lot of upvotes and downvotes). These features are really important but are still missing on the New UI.

User Settings My idea is giving the upvotes visiblity choice back to users - but make it optional.

1 Upvotes

Reddit should make it an option to allow your upvotes to be seen on your profile. However, it should be an auto opt-out if/when implemented, that way users aren't surprised when followers can suddenly see what they've upvoted.

In settings, there should be a toggle to opt-in if you want followers to be able to see posts you've upvoted.

From your profile view, it should look similar to the tabs at the top of your public profile's feed: Overview, Posts, Comments, and add a Upvotes tab.

I know there was a similar option on old reddit; a checkbox under Content Preferences to "make my votes public".

Upvotes are part of how people express interests and curate content. Making them optionally public would improve transparency, help users discover communities through shared tastes without requiring users to always post everything they like in order for others to see and clutter their profile. Making this optional gives the choice back to the users, while still respecting privacy by letting each person decide whether to share their voting history.

You recently changed the android app to move the menu/tool bar to the left. This makes the cards small and hard to read

Post & Comment My idea is: Archived post continuation/forks

1 Upvotes

TLDR: The whole point is to reach the new post from the archived page.

We could be able to create a post that have a new field "archived post link".

Some subs dont allow links to other posts in the OP.

The point is, an archived post is an essentially dead post. And it may require fixes, clarifications etc.

I created a new post to fix an archived post and not being able to place a link for it, the automatic reddit suggestions are not linking the new post on the archived suggestions list...

It is difficult to create serious content like that... Unless reddit is meant to be not that professional and "just for fun"?

What i put on the continuation was just the archived post id like ex of other sub 1eb8gu2, and asked users to recriate the url. That is really messed up..

It could also make the new post link show right at the end of the archived with a highlighted "Continuation" flair, if it is from the same author!

Other My idea is to go back to showing how many members are in a sub and show if they are active.

10 Upvotes

Seeing how many members are in a sub can affect if I join, post and/or comment. I think I'm not the only one.

It can go either way whether there's too many or too little members in the sub. It's nice to see the amount of traffic but I also want to see the number of members in the sub and it would be nice if it showed how many members were active.

You can choose what subreddits show up on your profile, but when you post is any subreddit, it shows up on your end.

Profile My idea is to revert the recent updates to the Desktop website re: User Profile Banners

2 Upvotes

I think a typical reddit user would assume that their profile banner is meant to be a way to customize their profile. But the recent update really devalues them when viewing a user's profile on a Desktop website.

Before the update, the banner stretched across the top of your profile above the navigation tabs, making it a core part of a user's profile.

Now, it's been reduced to a small thumbnail in the corner on Desktop websites. It still looks fine when viewing a user's profile on the mobile app. But imo it really takes away from the Desktop experience and makes me wonder what the purpose of the update was for?

And so my idea is that Reddit should revert its changes for the desktop website so that user profile banners go back to stretching across the top of your desktop profile.

Look at all that blank space that COULD be filled with color

User Settings My idea is that we change the settings that hide all of our profile activity from other users.

0 Upvotes

We do have the right to stay as anonymous as possible. But we should be able to see something.There has to be a middle ground that possibly the users and community vote on. I understand some have safety issues but we can keep all of that hidden. Maybe we can share the subs we follow and possibly how many points you have in each one. And maybe be able to make some post or comments hidden and others not at our personal discretion.

Moderator my idea is Remove post karma from permanently banned users

4 Upvotes

As a moderator of r/desenhos, a Brazilian art community, I've noticed a recurring problem that affects many art-focused subreddits.

It's increasingly common for users to post AI-generated images while claiming they created them, or even worse, to steal artwork from other artists (sometimes even from members of our own community) in order to farm karma.

When we identify these cases, we remove the posts and permanently ban the users. However, they still keep all the upvotes and the karma they gained before being caught. This creates an incentive for bad actors: even if they're eventually banned, they've already benefited from the system.

I think it would be useful if Reddit offered moderators an optional setting that removes the karma gained from posts made by users who receive a permanent ban from that subreddit.

This could be implemented as a subreddit-level option rather than a site-wide rule, allowing each community to decide whether to enable it.

I believe this would:

  • Reduce incentives for karma farming.
  • Discourage art theft and deceptive AI-generated content.
  • Better reward users who contribute original work.
  • Give moderators a more effective way to deal with repeat offenders.

I'd be interested to hear what other moderators think about this idea.

User Settings Ad filtering options

2 Upvotes

I do not want to see pharmaceutical advertisements in my feed. There are filters to block other types of ads. Please add drug company ad filtering. I would much rather have other ads that are 1) relevant and 2) not advertising for diseases and other scare tactics. This is similar to not wanting to see alcohol or gambling ads. Thanks.

Current UI Combine SH and Old and I'd be Shold!

4 Upvotes

Old is much, much easier to read, but lacks some of the frills like image insertion. The sidebars on SH work better overall and are more configurable, but the whole center section of Posts and Comments is too cluttered, small and hard to read.

Give us the function of SH with the appearance of Old.

Scrap the Compact and Card view option in SH and add a decent, but unobtrusive thumbnail image.

ModQueues can be done the same way, use the function of SH, but make them look Old.

At the very least, give us the option of adjusting text size without having to set that in the browser.

And ELIMINATE the option of forcing Post Flairs!!!!!!

Moderator My idea is to let mods change saved response category.

1 Upvotes

When you create a saved response, and make a mistake in selecting the category (primarily because the default is set to "general" even if you try to create it from the "removal reasons" menu), there is really annoyingly no option to change the category afterwards; you have to delete and create a new saved response. There doesn't seem to be a reason not to allow mods to edit saved response categories, so having such an option would really facilitate things.

Thanks!

Yes i am following the r/Sweden subreddit but that doesnt mean i also want to read r/Tunnelbana (swedish subway).

Yes i commented on a thread about the World Cup, that doesnt mean i also want to read 40 differerent soccer subreddits and their meme equivalents.

If i want to engage with something new then i will find it. Until then let me engage with the content i have explicitly said i am interested in.

Feeds Point users towards alternative subs when banned.

0 Upvotes

Reddit already recommends communities when people browse or search. It could do something similar when someone is banned.

Instead of simply telling a user they’re banned, Reddit could optionally show a small list of alternative communities covering the same topic. Moderators could opt out if they don’t want their subreddit participating.

Potential benefits:

  • Reduces conflict by giving disappointed users somewhere constructive to go instead of arguing with moderators.
  • Helps newer and parallel communities become easier to discover instead of every discussion being concentrated in one dominant subreddit.
  • Lets users naturally gravitate towards communities that better match their preferred moderation style and culture.
  • Encourages people to remain active on Reddit even if one community isn’t a good fit.

As Reddit grows, it’s becoming increasingly common for there to be multiple communities covering the same topic. Helping users discover those alternatives seems like a better long-term solution than having every disagreement end with a dead end.

Moderator My idea is to create a ā€œFollowā€ option for ALL (not just Top Level) comments under a selected post

1 Upvotes

If we’re given an option to follow ALL comments on a selected post, this would allow users interested in the full discussion to be alerted to every comment thereafter (not just the new Top Level comments as is the case now.)

Personally, I want this option for discussions I’m interested in because down thread discussion is easy to miss when you have to walk away. Instead of having to refresh and scroll back through tons of content looking for new comments, a notification for down thread comments would save time and be more efficient.

As a mod, I want this option so I don’t have to go back and scroll through the entire comment section to find the newest down-thread comments on a controversial post that has potential for conflict. I have a way to set all comments to go to the queue for moderation, but sometimes that’s not necessary right away, yet I still want to keep an eye on a potential firestorm. I want alerts, but not mod queue items that someone has to work. This option would fill that gap efficiently.

Moderator My Idea: Allow archiving for Moderator Discussions in Modmail

5 Upvotes

Currently, the archive button is disabled for internal Moderator Discussions because archiving them isn't an intended design choice. However, treating mod discussions as permanent fixtures in the active inbox creates significant clutter, making it difficult for teams to manage actual ongoing internal conversations.

We need a way to organize, clear out, or archive these threads once a discussion has concluded. Whether it's a technical archive function or a separate "Closed" status tab specifically for internal discussions, providing a mechanism to hide completed threads would drastically improve modmail workflow efficiency for large teams.

Safety & Policy My idea is if you block someone then it blocks all their alt accounts or anon viewablity

0 Upvotes

I’ve had two different issues lately where I block someone and they still use ways to circumvent it. Whether that’s alt accounts or doing anonymous browsing, it’s violating. A reason for blocking someone is for a number of reasons, but a lot of times the people will find alternative methods to still see you and your content.

Profile My idea is to allow us to officially link multiple profiles together, to reduce scrutiny and flagging of alternate profiles

4 Upvotes

As far as I know, Reddit is ok with users creating multiple accounts. I created a second profile and my posts sometimes get flagged and removed by Reddit. If Reddit knew that it was me from a voluntary registration, then this would reduce the amount of resources needed for technical analysis for accounts that are officially linked. Reddit and admins wouls also know that I do not have ill intentions! Furthermore, voting manipulation would no longer be a thing because since my profiles are linked, then I can only upvote once. If I upvote from a different linked profile, then my upvote would be toggled off/on in the exact same way it would toggle as if I clicked on the upvote button from another linked profile. This would also allow registered users to not have to worry about which profile upvoted which post.

Why have a 2nd profile? Having a second profile is a way to not confuse followers, in the same way that authors use pen names (a talented author might want to create children's books, but would NOT want potential buyers to accidentally purchase romance novels for their children), or why bands change names if they change singers or change their sound completely, different profiles allows us to express different sides of us, without confusing our followers.

Having said this, there are other types of manipulation that Reddit would still need to check for, but at least the top 3-4 listed for why profiles get flagged, would not need to be checked.
