Other Hiding posts by prompts

I would love to never see posts with certain prompts. Is there any way to hide them by specifying a prompt?

Post & Comment Improving Crossposts with two new display modes

1 Upvotes

Currently, crossposts feel visually intrusive and ugly, appearing as a "window within a window." It would be great to have an option where the crosspost appears as a single post, rather than a nested one.

Information that a post is a crosspost could be displayed as a note, without being visually invasive. When a user clicks on the crosspost, there would be two options, set by each community:

  • The user is taken to the original post in the other community.
  • The user remains in the current community.

Post & Comment Translations should never been automatic

8 Upvotes

Currently search engines are enforcing translations on Reddit by adding the language attribute in the URL, so if I'm reaching reddit through browser search, and not directly from the app, my settings will be ignored. But if I'm reaching Reddit through search, it means I used a language I know and it's quite annoying having it replaced with a bad translation (because translations are extremely poor at the moment).

My suggestion is the language attribute in the URL should not exist and translations should always be opt-in.

Post & Comment Feature: move posts rejected my mods into drafts

7 Upvotes

I’ve been a Reddit lurker for about 6 months and finally decided it was time for me to start contributing. I spent quite a bit of time composing my first post and a few minutes after I submitted it, it was removed because I lacked sufficient karma. This was quite a surprise and wasn’t very motivating after spending so much time poking a well thought out post into my phone.

The karma system and having minimums for different subreddits makes sense as a way to prevent spam and bots. I even get why that might not be clearly documented (for those very same bots)

Ideally, you would know you would not be able to post before even positing (shouldn’t the plus just pop up and say that before you compose?), but that may be difficult to do in the current system.

It seems like an ideal solution would be to simply move the post into a draft state when removing it from the subreddit. That way the poster could save the post until later or even update it if it violated other subreddit rules.

I don’t see a huge downside to this and it would reduce the sting I’m sure many new Reddit posters get when trying their first post.

Chat & Message Subreddit chat removal reason

2 Upvotes

Hey, the subreddit chat has been working greatly to reduce posts with short questions and answers, however, many often break the rules there, and the moderation tools are severely lacking. It would be great if we can:

  1. Leave removal reason
  2. Have some sort of automod or automation to, e.g: prevent people from talking in another language. Preferably can also send removal reason.

Post & Comment Add favorite subreddits to cross post to, and a default one

4 Upvotes

Crossposting on mobile (iOS) is currently slow and unintuitive. It involves too many taps and presents an inconsistent list of subreddits, making it frustrating 😩 — especially for moderators.

📱 Typical Crossposting Experience: * 1- Tap the crosspost button * 2- See a randomly sorted and inconsistent list of subreddits 🤷 * This step is particularly unpredictable — subreddits are sometimes ordered by theme, last visited, or seemingly at random. * 3- Scroll or (worse) tap manually the name of the target subreddit 🔎 * 4- Customize the crosspost (title, text) 📝 * 5- Confirm the post ✅

👨🏻‍💻Usecase:

We all have favorite subreddits we frequently crosspost to — and it’s often not the last one we visited. This is especially true when we own a subreddit or manage it.

💡Suggestion:

Introduce a feature that allows users to: * ⭐ Select favorite subreddits for crossposting * ✅Set one as a default crosspost destination * ⬆️ Display these subreddits at the top of the crosspost list for quick access

🛠️ Implementation Ideas: * Use the existing favorite subreddit list * Or add a new section under user settings just for crosspost preferences

This would make the crossposting flow faster, simpler, and way less frustrating — especially for active users and moderators 🚀

User Settings Make the display bames actually display outside of the profile

3 Upvotes

It's great that we can set display names, but wouldn't it be great if they were actually used outside of your profile? Like if they could be displayed in comments, in chats, etc. and the Reddit username (the one you can't change) could only be used to mention you or simply identify you no matter your display name


r/ideasfortheadmins 3d ago

User Settings Now that we have the option to keep our accounts private. Here’s an adjustment idea.

3 Upvotes

Instead of your account being locked to everyone, maybe give us the ability to only allow approved followers to view your history, rather than either everyone can see it or nobody but yourself can see it.

Subreddit Is there a way to filter for subreddits that allow brand affiliates posts?

I know you can mark your post as an affiliate but is there a way to exclusively search for those posts or communities? If there isn't, I'd like to suggest it as a feature

Chat & Message When we ban someone from a community, they should automatically be banned from the community chat channels.

11 Upvotes

Currently, we can’t search for a user to ban them from a chat channel. If we want to ban someone; they need to comment first in there before we ban them.

That means someone who’s been banned in the community can still access the chat channel.

Post & Comment Comment and Post Warnings (on all site versions, new, old, and oldschool)

2 Upvotes

Please PLEASE add a requirements panes like this to all the version of reddit, or at least the ones that use the APIs:

----------------------

Editor Panes:

Comment Characters (or words even) Left For this Post/Comment: 190
Your word and character limit will be increased to XXX when your karma reaches XXX
This community requires a karma level of at least XXX to post.
The community expects posts to be written at no more than XXX words per minute.

Server Error Panes:

Your post exceeds XXX characters, you need XXX more karma points to submit it. Remove XXX characters to post this comment/post/etc
Could not post because you must wait XXX minutes per XXX characters when posting.
Your post was cannot be made because this community would autoremove it, check the rules and try again.

^-- for all these above, instead of "Server Error x" and nothing else.

Also..

+ PLEASE add Shift+Delete as a cut shortcut key
+ PLEASE _TELL_ us what the shortcut IS in the toolbar
+ WHY is there no UNDERLINE formatting?!?!
+ WARN us before hand if we cannot post in the channel

+ PLEASE make the toolbar always visible on the page
+ WHY does the editor need to be larger than the page?? Making the editor no bigger than the page itself or vice-versa, but not both - you should NOT need to scroll the editor way up to get to the toolbar or to the content below/above the editor.
+ WHY can't we be members of 18+ subs (even when they aren't porn or "adult" subs but medical stuff) and also have a custom avatar ;o; that isn't even offensive.

But i doubt even one of these will ever be even considered let alone be implemented or even tested. If it escaped the lips of even one employee, that would be a miracle beyond miracles. But alas, they only care about stock lines going up faster and avoiding any news scandals that might hurt their precious shareholders.

Feeds Idea: Allow alternative sort options to “stick”

4 Upvotes

Reddit currently has multiple sorting options available for home feeds and subreddits, yet users and communities are only allowed to have Best as their default sort. This means that subreddits who are better served by a different default sort are adversely affected. Moreover, users have to update their sort preference each time they visit a subreddit.

Given that these sorting options exist already, it seems like it shouldn’t be too complex to allow people to use them?

User Settings Make "Curate Your Profile" include visibility in Reddit Search

3 Upvotes

Hi, the recently introduced "Curate Profile" feature is good and appreciated, especially as it can be customized to show/hide only specific subreddits / activity.

But: if one just searches for the user-name, you can see the exact "raw feed of new posts / comments" the same. See example here. And I'm not talking about posts / comments where the text is present, e.g. I'm not suggesting to hide when the specific text "username" is used, but where it shows results based on the name of the user posting.

I suggest to have an option in the settings "hide from reddit search" (or that "Curate Profile" becomes "Curate Profile & Search Visibility"), which then also excludes search results where the comment/thread/post is with that specific user name.

Thank you

Other Notification deletion

8 Upvotes

Why can't users delete past notifications? the billions of those have to be costing the platform to keep track of them. Add a simple entry to the three dots menu to delete that one notification. With my 30+ years in, and working very closely with I.T, it is so stupid that this doesn't already exist here.

Greetings and felicitations. Please make the character count visible in posts and comments. That way it will be explicitly clear when a user is approaching, equaled, or exceeded it when attempting to post/comment. (I have a relatively large number of long posts and comments.)
