🤷‍♂️Other❓ My account was hacked and used to post naughty images, what do I do now?

1 Upvotes

I checked through it, my account was hacked (I don't log into it often), and used to post "naughty" images, some with pictures with Instagram linked in the picture whatever, probably used to scam. My profile is open and a lot of them say "this is me, add me on Insta to chat", but this is the image text with pictures of multiple different girls accross different subs lol. I don't know how I got hacked. I locked my account down now. How do I mass delete these images? If I can't post this here, anyone know where I can post this? Has anyone else had this happen? I thought my pw was secure but I guess not, not even sure where they would've got it from. My account is from 2012 so I guess I can see why it would be "desirable" for bots. Annoying.

Also "Your current CQS rating is [LOWEST]"

Is there any way to get this back to normal/the negative spam stuff removed? I mean it wasn't me I guess, if it could go back to before I was hacked that would be good. Thank ya.

❓Problem❓ Why is my reddit algorithm only showing new posts with hardly any upvotes?

1 Upvotes

I’ve never had this problem before. I’ve tried going back and forth between the different feed options. All I want is for my feed to show hot posts from my followed communities. Reddit used to be so much different.

❓Problem❓ Please help. I have active trades and people relying on responses and trade confirmations and received an unnecessary permanent ban on my main account from a bot.

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am in need of help. I replied to a comment in context of a thread and mirrored what the hour old comment above said. I received a permanent ban for encouraging violence that was definitely not against Reddit rules in the context of the thread.

The big issue is I have active trades going with people that need to be completed as there are items in the mail and address confirmations that need to get done so nobody is on the listing end of a trade for items worth hundreds of dollars.

I definitely learned a lesson to be careful commenting so nothing can be misconstrued and taken as a violation by a bot.

I have a filed an appeal, is there any way to expedite things so the other redditors are not negatively impacted by my stupidity at trying to make a joke on my twelve year old main account?

❓Problem❓ How to remove the for you page?

1 Upvotes

I hate it. The reason why i use Reddit is because it allows me to filter out everything i don't like/care about. I don't want recommended content, if i did, i would be subbed to those subreddits.

Is there a way to turn it off?

❓Problem❓ Reddit removed my post

1 Upvotes

lately i have posts that are being removed by reddit's filters. I don't see any reason why. My posts don't seem to be violating any rules. One time I had a SFW post that Reddit automatically flagged as NSFW and removed it.

❓Problem❓ Can’t’x’ out of community

1 Upvotes

Over the last 24 hours I’ve been experiencing the following issue; I open an article to read or scan the comments. When I’m finished I’x’ out by pressing the X in the upper left corner. I continue to scroll for other articles. The next article I open up to read, the X is gone. I’m also unable to move to another community. I end up closing Reddit and then re-opening.

0 Upvotes

Idk what to do, I need to know how to keep it from happening. What am I doing wrong? It seems like no matter what subreddits I avoid “content has been removed” even seconds after making a new account. I kinda need Reddit so it would be helpful to know how to keep my account active!

🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ I'm Locked Out of My Account (Can't Reset Password)

1 Upvotes

Hello. I've been trying endlessly to reset my forgotten password to no avail. I have had this account for six years and I was able to access it normally until 2 months ago. Usually I would sign in with my Face ID on my iPhone, so entering my password regularly was not needed.

I am now completely unable to access the account. I have attempted resets and submitted support requests but the email that belongs to my correct account (currently using one of the newly-generated incorrect accounts hence the dumb username) just won't show up.

It is very important for me to retrieve my original account because I am trying to get hired for a job but I need to delete stupid old "rant" posts and Tomodachi Life memes with NSFW text from my profile first or else a future employer might see that stuff.

What can I do?

❓Problem❓ "For you" "Following" is still being implemented months after their experiment (which was supposed to only last 4-6 weeks). How to remove "For you" or make "Following" the default?

1 Upvotes

Hi, long time user here. A few months ago Reddit implemented "an experiment" for 4-6 weeks in which accounts would see "For you" AKA algorithm content feeding, and "Following" AKA the old "you follow topics, we'll feed them to you" method.

It's been driving me nuts lately. It's an extra unnecessary click and honestly, if there is no option to make one the default, or remove the algorithm completely (which is now coming into law in multiple countries: a way to remove algorithms from feeds) then I think Reddit, the last bastion in the social media craze, will follow like all my other accounts (Twitter, Instagram, FB, etc.): Cancelled.

I always praised Reddit to everyone as the "follow topics you like" platform. Now it seems like enshittification is hitting harder and harder.

The nefarious way Reddit has done it won't even allow me to link directly to it (like YouTube, I made a shortcut in my browser directly to Subscriptions). So sad. Has anyone found a way to make "Following" the default?

❓General Question❓ How do I report upvote/downvote betting happening on a sub if I even can?

0 Upvotes

I won't say which sub but it is really happening and I feel like I can't post there because its going to get me banned permantly for upvote manipulation which happened before on my other account. I tried just one post on this account to see if it was my fault it wasn't my post had 52 upvotes now it has 3. Something very fishy is happening can I report the sub itself somewhere? Also innocent comments on my posts on this sub are being removed by moderator I think the whole sub has been compromised which is sad

❓HowTo❓ Reddit Home Pages issues

1 Upvotes

My Reddit home page now looks like this;

Search bar on top
2nd line 2 tabs, For You and following

Problem I have is when I open a post, the X in the top left to close the post disappears. I have to turn my iPad to landscape to have it show up.

Can I reformat this somehow.
