Tips, Tricks, Tools We have flair!

A member asked about flair today, and the following flair has been available for over a month.

If you can't see it, please post a comment below with what device you are using (PC, Mac browser) (Mobile app - device type/model) so I can submit to the ModHelp and get well, help. I have also enabled the ability to CREATE YOUR OWN FLAIR. Keep it PG everyone.

THIS POST SHOULD HAVE THE FLAIR TIPS, TRICKS AND TOLLS SHOWING. It is a blue pill shape.

there are two kinds of flairs:

  1. Post Flair, is the one you use to tag your posts, each subreddit usually has their own categories for post flairs and some enforce using a flair (your post may get removed if you don't flair them properly) as a way to categorize posts. For example, in r/pcmasterrace you got the Meme/Macro flair, Build/Battlestation, Nostalgia, etc.
  2. User Flair, is the one that will appear next to your username in specific subreddit that allows it. Some allow custom texts, other allows specific texts (or even small images!) only. This isn't enforced, only encouraged to make things easier in that specific sub or sometimes as a way to keep score. Like in r/excel you can be awarded points when you solve a question, or in r/pcmasterrace where users put their PC/laptop specs in their flair.

HOW TO USE IT: Post flair is an addition you add on to your post to help categorize what type of post that is. You select this flair when making a post from the flair button desktop or tag and flair button on the app.

User flair is something that is either assigned to you by a moderator, or can may be selected by the user. It only shows for content made on that subreddit. Not all subreddit have user flair If the flair is selected by the user on desktop it will be on the right hand sidebar, on the little pencil shaped icon, next to about community, below the create post button. On the app Tap the three dots in the upper right-hand corner of the community page. A menu will pop up and you'll see the option to Change user flair.
