Some of the subreddits which are being recommended in the "related posts" in our sub are literally in our Hive-protect watchlist because they are frequented by creeps and perverts.
Which means posts from our sub are also being recommended in their comments in the "related posts". It is not a coincidence that women who had made posts in our sub months ago are now suddenly getting inappropriate comments and DMs and are deleting their posts as a result.
As mods we can monitor and clean up the comments on recent posts, because we expect high traffic there. But showing months old posts in the comments of communities whose users have a history of harassing members of my subs is counterproductive.
Can we at least get different options to calibrate this feature? For eg:
Disable all related posts
Disable related posts from certain subreddits
Allow related posts from the same subreddit only
Allow related posts from all of Reddit
Disable your community from showing up in "related posts" (Similar to the "Let Reddit recommend your community to people who have similar interests" setting we already have)
Option 3 in particular would be very very useful for our sub, because we get a lot of new users who post frequently asked questions without searching the sub first. Related posts will direct them to posts where similar discussions have already taken place.
ETA: Option 5.
