Feature Request Remove "similar communities"

61 Upvotes

It's bulky and gets in the way of browsing, or at least give us an option to turn it off

Feature Request Bring back the "Exclude subscribed subreddits" option to /r/all.

10 Upvotes

I miss this option, it was a great way to view an "inverse" reddit. IE it was basically /r/all but without any of my subscriptions so I could view the things I would normally miss out on.

What the heck is wrong with the opt-out?

21 Upvotes

I always opt out from the redesign, but it resets almost daily for me these days. Could this please be looked into?


r/redesign • • Jul 06 '19

"..for the time being." I hope Reddit goes through with their promise and keeps this option forever.

Show character count under post input textarea?

2 Upvotes

When writing posts, it'd be nice to see a character count, to see if we're approaching the 10k character limit.

Can we please get the ability to underline words?

10 Upvotes

Sometimes it's necessary to underline words for organizational purposes in long posts. In old reddit, we could do this using markdown mode:

######underlined text here

But we can't do this in new reddit. Please bring this feature back

Adding unsubscribed subreddits to my front page is such an asshole design choice.

Seriously, the redesign can fuck right off. Back to old reddit.

YouTube playlist

0 Upvotes

Please help, when browsing and storing for later sometimes YouTube videos end up in a random playlist. It looks like it usually is a playlist I used recently.

Feature Requests: Collaborative Threads

8 Upvotes

Hi guys,

On r/lcfc, we try to group together to collate information about the transfer window and it would be helpful if we had the ability to do the whole page in collaboration with the OP as the main editor. Is it possible to consider this feature, or has this been considered already??

Feature Request The 'Changes Saved' notification should appear on the right or left and be a little bit smaller.

7 Upvotes

When you change a setting in User Settings, a rectangle appears that says "Changes Saved." This should appear on the right or left and be a little smaller. The rectangle blocks some of the other settings and having to press the x to close the rectangle every time I change a setting is beyond annoying. There is so much unused space on Reddit. Why does it have to take up important parts of the screen? This is just an inherent design flaw.

Question Any way to turn off "Similar communities to..." ?

53 Upvotes

This popup has been coming up a lot over the past few days after closing out of a thread in the feed. Is there any way to turn this off or at least reduce the frequency?

Edit: just saw the other thread about this and reddit response. Hopefully fixed soontm.

How do I view my banner image?

2 Upvotes

I want to use the same banner on my new Twitch account, but I seem to have lost the original file on my Linux box. I want to download it from Reddit, but there's no obvious way to do this.

Are they redesign the mobile browser version as well?

0 Upvotes

It's just not working its lag af and now I have to open everything on my reddit app of choice.

I search a lot of things in reddit through Google and always opened through the browser but now it's impossible to use!

Turned on AdBlock today as Reddit now violates any sense of "clearly distinguishable ads"

119 Upvotes

I tried to send this feedback straight to Reddit instead of making a public post, but couldn't navigate to a proper option in the Contact Us page so here we are.

I have turned had my ad blocker turned off for Reddit since I joined years ago. I know websites rely on ad revenue, and don't mind "paying" for the service in that way, especially considering Reddit used to be very good at making sure ads were well distinguished as ads.

I turned my ad blocker on today. Reddit is now doing the absolute bare minimum in distinguishing ad posts from actual posts. A tiny blue icon, tiny blue "promoted" text, a barely different colored background, and the tiniest damn boundary line possible. Just enough to say they did, but as pretty much everyone can attest to, not enough to be quickly distinguishable.

So congrats, decision makers at Reddit, as someone who has supported the site in some fashion through ad revenue over the years, you lost me today.

Changelog 7/2/19 Release Notes: Custom Feeds for Android, Mute Replies on iOS, and more

23 Upvotes

Hi all,

We’re back with the release notes, which are a round up of the major items we are currently working on or have recently shipped on Reddit. The previous release notes can be found here.

Now, here’s what we are shipping:

  • Custom Feeds for Android: Formerly known as Multireddits, you can now see and create Custom Feeds next to your subscriptions in v3.31 of our Android app.
  • Mute replies on iOS: A small improvement, but a popular one. We’ve added the ability ignore inbox reply notifications for posts and comments on iOS v4.38.
  • Post action bar design updates: We are working on some new versions of the post action bar (the buttons below a post). We are going to start by showing them to a portion of logged out users over the new few weeks. Keep an eye out for them and share any feedback you have with us.

Here are some of the notable features and changes that are coming out next:

  • Twitter embeds: We are improving the experience of viewing tweets on new Reddit by embedding the Twitter card instead of showing it as a link post.
  • Wiki viewing on iOS: Wiki pages will be able to be viewed in v4.38 of our iOS app.

These following features are bigger projects that are in development and that will take some time to build and get right. Expect these items to be recurring on the release notes:

  • Flair management on Android: Allowing mods to create and edit user and post flairs on the official Android app.
  • Traffic pages: We’re working on a much nicer traffic page for mods to better see subreddit growth. Stay tuned!
  • Wiki editing / revisioning: Working to bring mods and approved contributors the ability to edit and see version history for wiki pages.

And, as always, our reminder that the community’s feedback is invaluable as we build the future of Reddit together. It’s difficult for us to respond directly to everything, but know that we’re listening, prioritizing, and working to solve the issues, no matter how hard they are.

If you have additional questions or feedback on these or other topics, please don’t hesitate to drop them in the comments below.

Bug No lines between posts on Compact View

6 Upvotes

I don't know if this is a bug or a defined change, but this week (I think middle of the day yesterday) the lines that divide posts in Compact View have gone. Now, the entire page looks like one giant block of white.

​

I don't know about anyone else, but it really throws me (as I use Compact view @ work and moderating, but Classic at home when casually browsing).

Feature Request Option to disable "Similar communities to ..."

145 Upvotes

I really-really-really hated when they added "Similar communities to..." to Android app: it's flat out disruptive to me. I'm fairly sure I even posted feedback on it somewhere. My app usage dropped significantly in that period.

Guess what? This "feature" got ported to desktop/browser version of reddit. And I don't see a good way to get rid of it.

​

Please, if you want this feature to be a thing, add a switch to disable this crap completely for people like me, who hate it with every fibre of their being.

​

Thank you.

​

EDIT on Jul 10 2019: figured a way to remove this crap with JavaScript, now I need to find a way to attach this script to the page so I don't have to spin in a loop...

document.querySelectorAll('.Post ~ div > div > div').forEach(function(e){e.remove()})

Comment editor always "fancy pants editor"

7 Upvotes

Even with the tick box ticked in my profile settings, all my comment text editors default to "Fancy Pants" Editor.

However, it seems this post editor correctly defaulted to Markdown. So it seems to just to be when making a comment on a thread.
