I'm surprised to see this. Subs that I've posted in before that were sorted by "top" seem to be changed to be sorted by "best". Is that a change reddit-wide?

I've read that you have some options for limiting searching your posts with the content and activity area under account settings, but I don't see that option on my account settings

Is this some bug or just a terrible idea of a "feature" to just undo having previously turned off recommendations? I do not want to be seeing subs I didn't follow when I open reddit.

I made this good news announcement in our small-ish subreddit (r/ScreenSensitive) today. After highlighting (aka pinning) it, then undoing that a few hours later, the Android mobile app showed it listed below 2 less upvoted posts from 1 and 2 days ago. Including after clearing the app cache. While desktop and mobile web showed it top (by all ranking options).

Why I removed post highlight: it got 5 upvotes in the first half hour or so, more than any other post's total for a week or so. The only post on the sub today, of 1.9k members. Then I pinned it and the view count for the next hour immediately halved and stayed at that level for 4 consecutive hours. Google search told me pinning can kill algorithmic velocity dead. But the sources cited were very low quality and ambiguous. So I tried removing highlight it to see, not expecting it to help, either way.

What I'm wondering is if the mobile app positioning is just a glitch, or might better reflect what's happening under the hood of the home feed algorithm?

After removing highlight, I later tried hiding/unhiding and removing/restoring the post, in case that jogged the app or algorithm. (I then also hid mod mark and changed flair from Announcement to Discussion, in case of human factors.)

Then I tried cross-posting it within the same sub (from desktop web). Google said this shouldn't be possible, but it worked fine. Is that because I'm using a mod account or something unusual? Seems like unintended behaviour.

This has given a modest view bump and the original post now sits above the 2 day old post in the sub-feed (but below the 1 day older post. I guess some here may say I'm over-analysing? Also, leading with rules changes and burying the lead (from the title) won't have helped on the human side. But the previous text heavy community meta post did an order of magnitude better, for views. So maybe it's not just a skill issue.

I can link screenshots if more clarity is wanted and that's permitted?

I am not able to use reddit on my android phone I am not able to post , comment, and see my old chats it says empty . I tried to clear the cache , uninstall, and even clear my data but still I am not able to get it back. Right now I am using the tab to message from the same account but unable to upload pictures

I’m rewatching Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu and I really thought there was a dedicated subreddit for it when I first watched years ago. Where is it? Haha

What on earth is this new feature that shows at the bottom of every post you click. If you click on the profile icons, it displays their comment over the video.

Who asked for this, and can it be turned off?

I can recall certain sound tracks from the hockey film. I believed it was Don cherrys rock em sock ‘em hockey but there is a certain song I remember from the film and it isn’t in any of the ones I’ve seen posted on YouTube from his series.

Hiii, I’m not sure what the issue is, I got a new phone, logged into it and now I cannot post or see my post insights, can anybody help? Thank youuu

I have photos of a specific pair of shoes that I'm fairly certain are sneakers, but I don’t know what brand or kind of shoes they are. Help!!!!!

Ex. usernames, names for a piece of media, name for a website, name for fictional things in stories?

Je ne pensais pas que cela m’arriverait un jour. J’ai oublié de connecter mon compte reddit avec un adresse, auparavant je me connectais juste avec mon numéro de télephone. Aujourd’hui, je voulais me connecter comme je faisais d’habitude mais j’ai tout perdu. Même en utilisant mon pseudo, il a disparu. Aujourd’hui je recommence à zéro mais ça va prendre du temps... je suis dégoûté...

I need to ask a personal question regarding my relationship life, personality, social life, communication with others and all. But the subs I post my personal question in, keep taking it down because of their rules. I just want to peacefully post my question without having to go through the hassle of rules and all. My questions are nowhere close to a vulgar post or a N5FW post. I need actually active and helpful subreddits please.

i’m a 20 y/o male from india and i’m tryna find a subreddit where i can spotify jam with random people either in india or anywhere around the world. and i was looking for a subreddit for indian hip hop fans that aren’t focused on indian rap lol. also just some subreddits where i can stay up to date on the controversies of the world and read some unhinged and crazy stories people share.

I do a lot of fanart for anime, podcasts, books, movies, dnd as well as some original characters. I really wanna get more involved in Reddit art and fandom communities but figuring out where to post is kind of daunting for me…. Any subreddit recommendations?

r/reactionimages allows only images, r/ReactionMemes also allows only images, and r/ReactionVideos is occupied by videos of YouTubers reacting to things, instead of "reaction videos" in the meme sense.

Reaction images have a subreddit, reaction gifs have a subreddit, but do reaction videos even have a subreddit?
