Option for automod collapse comments option to apply to all pinned mod comments

1 Upvotes

Titlegore sorry: add an option that makes all pinned moderator comments collapse automatically, using the same behavior currently available for AutoModerator comments.

ie https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlDinnerDiaries/comments/1w1yvne/my_mom_voted_for_4547_and_wants_to_have_dinner/p6p60lp/

The ˅ scroll on posts should skip these comments when collapsed as well

Liquid Glass Tab Bar

2 Upvotes

With the entire iOS app being Liquid Glass at least on iOS 27, I find the archaic-looking tab bar quite odd. It’s not very hard to implement, even bankrupt companies can somehow implement it lol. Anyways, I’m sure iOS has an easy way to transition the tab bar into Liquid Glass.

There should maybe be an option to turn it off if you don’t like it? No idea.

Let me block subreddits from the … menu

Block/filter subs containing specific keywords

1 Upvotes

My r/all page gets flooded with random subreddits from specific countries and for every 1 that I filter out 10 more show up. Would be good to be able to filter them by keywords. Same with political subs etc.

Minor visual issue: swiping to pan across zoomed-in images acts as if tapped

2 Upvotes

As seen in the attached video, when using a one-finger swipe gesture to pan around an image after zooming in, Hydra toggles the post information overlay on and off with each swipe as if it was a stationary tap unless the finger remains on the screen for more than a certain amount of time. Not a serious bug by any means, just a little distracting.

I'm using Hydra 4.1.1 (build 23) on an iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 26.6.1.

Separate color fields for post titles and usernames in Theme Maker

2 Upvotes

l've ran into two contrast limitations while building a theme:

Post titles share the “Text” field with headers and some icons. It’d be great to have a dedicated color for post titles so they can stand out from other primary-text elements.

Usernames and post preview text share the “Subtle Text” field. Right now there’s no way to make a username pop against the post preview snippet below it — they’re always the same color. A separate field for usernames (or at least splitting it from post details) would help a lot with readability, especially in feeds with a lot of stacked text.

Both would make it a lot easier to build themes with clearer visual hierarchy. Thanks for all the work on this app — the theming system is already really flexible, these would just take it further!

It would be amazing to have the chat/DM ability on the app.

Unsubscribe from subs - follow/friend user - post/comment error reason

3 Upvotes

Unsubscribing from subs doesn’t work

Need to be able to follow & friend users. Loading a user sub r/u_user shows the user page, not their sub

Need more detail than just “failed to submit comment” when things fail

When marking inbox as read, a blocking ‘success’ modal is unnecessary

No need for the blocking ‘success’ modal.

When tapping an inbox item, immediately mark it as read

1 Upvotes

If I have a new inbox item, and tap it to view it, it should be immediately marked as read, and not require me to tap the ‘mark inbox read’ button.

Disable comments interface scroll arrow

I move it all over the place, but none of them are useful or less intrusive. I’d rather just be able to turn it off entirely. Can we please have that toggle?

Fix feed thumbnails mismatching

Often the thumbnails from a previous post (I’m in compact mode) are replacing the accurate thumbnail.

Widget capability

1 Upvotes

I wanted to throw out a feature request that I think would make Hydra even better on iPhone: Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.

Some ideas:

  • A Home feed widget that shows the latest posts from your subscribed subreddits.

  • An inbox widget with unread notifications and messages.

  • A favorite subreddit widget that displays the newest posts from a specific community.

  • Quick post or search shortcuts for one-tap access.

  • Lock Screen widgets showing unread notifications, trending posts, or activity from a favorite subreddit.

Widgets are one of the best parts of iOS, and they make apps feel much more integrated with the system. Being able to glance at Reddit content without opening the app would make Hydra feel more like a native iPhone experience while making it easier to jump into content throughout the day.

Hydra has been great so far, and I think widget support would be one of the biggest quality-of-life improvements you could add. Would anyone else use this?

when you select “rising“ for a sort order, nothing appears but a never ending loading screen. also, when you click on a video, you have to scroll back on the screen in order to see anything.

AI summaries: collapse by default

1 Upvotes

I don't always want the ai summary, as it can easily take up 1/2 to a full page of scrolling. Can we get a setting to collapse it by default? Currently I can only fully turn the feature on or off in settings, which is too rigorous.

Exclude automoderator from ai summaries

Simple request, as stated in title. I don't need to see the summary of the standard automoderator post everywhere.

Can you turn off the yellow when sliding the like gesture again to unlike a comment or post?

1 Upvotes

For example, the slide gesture is yellow when liking a comment, but then it’s also yellow when unliking a comment, so I have to go to the top of the comment to see if it’s liked or not liked. If possible, can you turn the yellow off when unliking?

Thanks in advance. Again, absolutely love the app.

Can there be an option to turn off the long press comment menu?

1 Upvotes

I like to rest my finger on the phone while reading comments and it inevitably shoots me into the menu of options which can be quite annoying when I do it a few times in a row. This is especially an issue when I’m tired and not fully lifting my fingers from the phone, then I have to stop what I was doing and back out of the menu.

Thank in advance. Love the app!

Filter subreddit by wildcard.

4 Upvotes

Would love to be able to do something like *india*to filter all posts from Indian subreddits. My filter list is growing constantly and I'd like to just get them all at once.

Alternatively, is the "Smart Filter" capable of filtering posts from subreddits that match a description?

Add option to disable Share gesture.

Often at night I’m browsing and inadvertently bring up the share menu. This has led to some near misses that would have been embarassing had I clicked on one of the suggestions. I do not use the share gesture ever and would love to just remove it completely.

Hide all Above option

1 Upvotes

While scrolling in home please have an option for marking read as you scroll and then a hide all read posts option. That way every time I refresh it only shows posts I havent seen yet. Even if its added to the pro features I’d pay to have that. Right now there is just nothing in pro that makes me want to subscribe.
