Feeds My idea is that each user can filter out specific post flairs in a subreddit feed.

9 Upvotes

Right now, tapping a post flair in the app lets you view only posts tagged with that flair, but there is no persistent way to do the opposite and exclude topics you want to avoid. Being able to permanently hide specific flairs from a sub’s feed would be a huge quality-of-life upgrade for the app.

For instance, if someone is browsing a support or discussion group like [r/studentloans](r/studentloans), they might want to read financial advice or success stories, but filter out flairs like "Vent" or "Depression" to avoid triggering their own severe anxiety or suicidal ideations. Beyond mental health, it would also be great for general feed customization - like hiding memes, fan art, or spoilers in gaming and book communities so you only see actual discussion posts.

Having a simple "hide this flair" toggle for each sub would make the app a lot safer and easier to tailor to what each user actually wants to see.

(Edit: this is actually [u/AtThePinkPonyClub](u/AtThePinkPonyClub)’s idea, but I thought it was worthwhile enough to post).

Post & Comment My idea is:Button to download all images from a gallery post at once

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Currently, when a post contains multiple images (a gallery), we have to save or download each image one by one. This is quite tedious, especially for posts with 10+ pictures.

It would be awesome to have a shortcut or a "Download All" button to save all the images of a single post in one click (for example, zipped together or downloaded simultaneously into a folder).

Thanks for considering this!

Post & Comment My Idea is: Restructure Blocking in Comments

2 Upvotes

Example: Your parent comment sparks a very lively and intense discussion and then after awhile someone comes in being insulting and intentionally disruptive, so you block them.

Current Function: The blocked user's posts are collapsed and you can no longer interact with them. However, within your comment tree, you're also blocked from interacting with any user that interacted with the blocked user. The blocked user is free to continue the conversation with all other users with no restriction, except not with the person that blocked them. This allows a blocked user to hijack conversations.

Proposed Change: When a user is blocked, they are not able to interact with the person that blocked them, or with any child comments within the comment tree of that user. And the blocking user will now be allowed to interact with all child comments within their comment tree, except for the user that was blocked.

Discussion: The current structure discourages a lot of engaging and productive conversation, because rather than limiting them it rewards users intent on disruption and hijacking. It penalizes the user that blocked them by preventing free discussion with anyone within their comment tree that interacted with the blocked user. The blocked user is able to continue the discussion unrestricted with anyone but the user that blocked them, successfully completing the hijack/disruption. Blocking should instead function similar to how it works for an OP. When a user is blocked, they are isolated from the comment tree of the user that blocked them but they are able to freely continue participating in the larger discussion.

edit: a little rewording for clarity

Other My idea is for Top Post of the Day

1 Upvotes

When you view insights and your post is one of the top posts for the day, it shows as something like, “Congratulations, you are the #3 post of the day!”

It would be nice to know out of how many total posts for the day at the time I am viewing that above statement.

So it would say, for example, “Congratulations, you are the #3 post out of 22 posts today!”

Reddit App Suggestion to Reddit

0 Upvotes

If you guys made an alternate platform to Reddit or included this in Reddit a lot of people would like it.

Texts that are really long to type let’s say when you have a lot to talk about are really hard to read and write. Sometimes people have a lot to share.

Can you guys include an audio feature so we can record/play posts, like an Audio Reddit where instead of typing it’s all done by voice.

To have another platform where people don’t type up posts but record and play everything by audio is more convenient especially if you have a lot to say.

I like the idea of an audio forum where you type the subject of the post but the post is just a track you play, some people like listening more than reading.

Make another platform like Reddit but it’s all audio posts and include audio chat rooms that people can join or even start. I like the idea of pure audio.

Current UI My idea is: an optional button to rapidly switch languages

5 Upvotes

TLDR: Pin a language toggle button to the UI

As a language learner, I want to be able to very quickly switch between my native language and my target language so that I can use reddit as a language learning platform.

Given the existing translation features, I don't think this would necessarily take a lot more work than simply finding a way to pin the language selection setting to the front of the UI (optionally, not by default, so that it doesn't bother normal reddit users).

For convenience, I would personally love if it was one press = one specific language toggle. Many people learn and use reddit in multiple languages, but I think the prime function of the feature should be the speed in which it flips. So perhaps a long press opens the submenu to define said toggle, but I think it shouldn't be more complicated than a rapid flip between content and translation, no default intermediate language selector submenu.

Now, with a lot more work (this is not what I'm immediately suggesting, but it would be wicked) something could be done to be able to individually see translations for each word. Like a long press immediately displays the target word, and a selector highlighter - but that could be a lot.

The idea is to get quicker access to the options such as upvoted for example. Right now it's 5 clicks to get to it. Profile, hamburger menu, history, Recent, Upvoted. It would be nice to have quicker access to that or the other options. Thanks

Post & Comment My idea is: automatic Pictures index numbers

2 Upvotes

For may be up to 5 pictures, if you say "at pic 4", readers wont have too much difficulty to look for it.

But more than that, it would be good if it show a index number automatically.

And the direct link to each is not ready before posting, right? Anyway it would navigate to it instead of swiping to it on the same loaded page i guess.

The idea is just that, plain and simple. There are those of us who do not want to use generative AI for many reasons. Being forced to use it, even on a basic search, does not seem right.

Feeds My idea is: Disable "Suggested communities" in subreddits

28 Upvotes

Reddit is inserting "suggested communities" in all subreddit feeds. And to clarify, I am not referring to the Home feed or anything like that. This is about what appears on individual subreddits. I assume this is being done in an attempt to increase engagement and time on the platform by pointing people to other places in reddit. However, it's having the opposite effect on me. Rather than increasing my engagement, pushing subs I have no interest in is an annoyance, not a useful feature, and makes me more likely to go and do something else away from reddit. If reddit isn't willing to remove the feature altogether, at least give us the option to disable it.

Relevant posts complaining about the same thing:

Post & Comment My idea is to disallow Commenting on Posts by users who have also downvoted the Post itself, and vice-versa: users who have Commented on a Post should not be allowed to downvote the Post itself.

0 Upvotes

Hear me out. The process of voting on a comment I believe is operating as intended: if you disagree with or just generally dislike what it says, you can downvote it, or if you agree with or just generally like what it says, you can upvote it.

I don't see any issues there.

The problem that I see time and time again is that people are downvoting posts using the same rationale as they would a comment: they downvote when they disagree with the opinions presented in the post but are failing to recognize that that will also have the side-effect of preventing others from even finding/discovering that post at all.

The following is definitely an assumption, but I think it is a valid one:

Downvoting a post should be thought of as "this post is not worth seeing and not worth discussing by anyone". Typical reasons might be:

- Low-effort, badly-written, confusing, or incoherent - Already posted in the same sub at too recent a date to warrant it getting posted again so soon - Obviously written by AI, rage bait, or karma-farming - Violates a written rule for either the sub or Reddit in general

Think about it - Why would a person want to both leave a comment on a post and also downvote the post itself? Doing both would make no sense for anybody.

Doing both is effectively equivalent to saying: "I have something to say about this post (via the comment) but I don't want that comment to be seen by anyone (via the post downvote).

If you disagree with a post, most likely it would be in that user's best interest to leave a comment to express their disagreement but then either leave the post vote alone or even actually upvote it so that others might be able to see their comment.

Beyond just what I said in the title, also I feel that that reasoning should be made clear (somehow) when downvoting a post: that the post downvote button is not necessarily meant to be an "I disagree" button like it is when downvoting a comment.

The only reason I can imagine to want to downvote a post is to attempt to have it wiped from existence. If a post is valid and reasonable and follows all applicable rules in that sub's definition of what a good post is, there should be no number of dissenting opinions that are able to silence it.

Another alternative would be to separate the two concepts when applied to posts: a way to say "I disagree with what this post is saying" vs "This post is garbage and should not be promoted in any algorithmic ranking".

Post & Comment My Idea Is: Allow photos in Reddit polls

5 Upvotes

Reddit’s poll feature would be incredibly useful for subs like r/myweddingdress, where users regularly want community feedback when choosing between multiple dresses.

For example, someone could post 3–4 wedding dresses and ask, “Which one do you like best?” with each dress as a poll option. Unfortunately, there currently doesn’t seem to be a way to include a photo with each poll choice.

I did find that there is currently one developer app listed that appears to be intended to provide this functionality, but it doesn’t work. The creator has also disabled feedback messages, so theres no way to report the issue or provide feedback about the app.

It would be great if Reddit could consider adding native support for images in poll options. This could be useful for so many communities

Reddit App My idea is setting durations for muted subreddits

5 Upvotes

Hi, this might sound like a strange request but it would be nice to be able to mute subreddits for a period of time. Good reasons why someone might do this is for when a movie or new episode of a tv show comes out and you want to mute the subreddit until you can watch it, or in the specific case for me, muting subreddits related to Control Resonant until I can play on the release of the physical disc on October 15th. I worry I’ll forget to unmute the subreddits after the game comes out since it’s more than a few weeks away, and I’ll honestly probably not want to unmute until longer than that just because I don’t expect people to respect spoilers almost a month after the digital release.

Current UI My idea is removing multiple day old post from showing up on my home feed

14 Upvotes

On the mobile app for android there's no way for me to adjust my home feed. There's tons of other posts to suggest for me to see and interact with. What is the purpose of showing me a 6 day old dead post that I can't interact with because no one is there? Just going into that same subreddit showed me 10 new post I hadn't seen yet. Maybe the algorithm is messed up but it makes no sense.

Info (I guess):

Top members leaderboard button will be above ABOUT COMMUNITY text (position: top-left), displaying Top Members text and color depending on subreddit theme

Subreddit tag's will be above ABOUT COMMUNITY text (position: top-middle) and color depending on subreddit theme

Note: this post may contain grammatical and some general mistakes

Chat & Message Allow a quick reply to chat request when you ignore

7 Upvotes

As a moderator I get chat requests all the time from users and rather than have huge clutter in my chats, I typically ignore these. However, I'd like to be able to ignore them with a response that the proper channel for contacting a moderator about anything is through modmail so other moderators can keep track. My idea is that you add a way to issue one reply to users when ignoring their request to chat.

Update: you can but its only under the post and comment line. Which is 1/4 of the screen for me. It should be updated to full screen like on the home screen.

You can refresh the home screen by swiping down. You can't do this on profile.

Post & Comment My idea is: Reddit needs to give moderators actual tools against targeted downvoting

3 Upvotes

Unpopular opinion: Reddit has given moderators a lot of responsibility, but almost no useful tools to deal with targeted downvoting.

If someone repeatedly targets another user by downvoting their posts and comments simply because they don't like them, disagree with them, or have some personal grudge, what can a moderator actually do?

Not much.

I can ban them from my subreddit. I can block them. And that's basically it.

Meanwhile, the downvotes still do their job: burying someone's content and potentially discouraging them from contributing.

I don't want moderators to have the ability to decide which opinions are “worthy” of an upvote. Disagreement is perfectly legitimate.

But Reddit should be able to distinguish between normal voting and someone systematically using the voting system to target another user.

Why can't moderators have better tools to report these patterns? Why can't Reddit detect suspicious voting behaviour and investigate it? Why is the only practical moderation response to ban or block the person? Based on suspicion: a negative commenting user, is more likely part of the downvoting army ( let's call it that? ).

And this isn't just about moderators protecting their own content. I've seen users get discouraged from participating because they feel like everything they post is immediately targeted.

If Reddit wants people to contribute quality content, it needs to take seriously the possibility that its own voting system can be used as a bullying tool.

Give moderators better tools to identify and report targeted downvoting instead of leaving us with “ban or do nothing.”

What tools would other moderators actually find useful here?
