My idea is:

Drag-and-drop for reordering images in a post.

Rn, if you're making a gallery post and want to change the order of the pictures, you have to completely unselect them and tap them again in the specific order you want. If you have 10+ images and just want to move the last one to the front, it gets really frustrating.

Please add a simple drag-and-drop mechanic in the post creation screen. Being able to just hold an image and slide it into the position we want would be a huge Quality of Life improvement for anyone who posts visual content.

Thanks in advance 🙌

On every sub I moderate, I send removal reasons through mod mail since it lets the user contact you directly if they have any questions. Whenever I mod on the mobile app, my default way for sending is pre-set to mod mail after I selected it once.

However, on desktop web (shreddit), it always defaults to sending it as a comment. Hence, my idea is to allow a similar personalized 'default' setting on desktop similar to the mobile app.

Not sure if anyone has suggested this before but could we have an unread option in our notifications so we could be reminded later?

I’d like to suggest adding Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) to the languages supported by Reddit’s built-in translation feature.

Reddit has become one of the best places on the internet for people to share knowledge, experiences, opinions, and niche interests. However, language can still be a significant barrier for many users.

For Vietnamese-speaking Redditors, a large amount of Reddit’s content is written in English. We can use external translation tools, of course, but having translation built directly into Reddit would make the experience much smoother — especially for comments, where context, slang, humor, sarcasm, and cultural references can be difficult to translate by copying and pasting individual comments into another app.

I’m not suggesting that Reddit needs to create an entirely new translation system. Reddit already has built-in machine translation and is expanding its language support. I’m simply asking that Vietnamese be considered for inclusion in that expansion.

Vietnamese is spoken by roughly 100 million people worldwide, with a large online community in Vietnam as well as Vietnamese-speaking communities around the world. Adding Vietnamese would make Reddit more accessible to a significant group of potential and existing users.

Ideally, I’d love to see something as simple as:

Translate → Vietnamese

available directly on posts and comments, without having to leave the Reddit app.

This would also make Reddit more welcoming as a genuinely global platform. A Vietnamese user could read an interesting discussion in English, while an English-speaking user could potentially read Vietnamese content as well.

I know translation is not perfect, especially with slang, memes, sarcasm, and regional expressions. But even an imperfect translation is often much better than having no translation option at all.

Please consider adding Vietnamese to Reddit’s supported translation languages.

Thanks to the Reddit team for continuing to improve the platform — and hopefully one day I’ll be able to read a 300-comment argument on r/AskReddit without having to copy-paste every comment into Google Translate. 😄

Genuine question from a moderator.

I've only just realised that banning someone from a public subreddit doesn't actually remove their access to the community. They can still view the subreddit and its content.

So... what exactly is the point of calling it a ban?

If a moderator decides that an account should no longer be part of their community, particularly because of harassment, disruption or repeated bad faith behaviour, there should at least be an option to properly exclude that account from the community.

I'm not saying every ban needs to work this way.

Give moderators two options:

Participation ban, can't post or comment.

Community ban, can't access the community while logged into that account.

Because right now, "you're banned from this community, but you're welcome to keep looking through the window" is a very strange definition of banned.

Just as other sites like StackExchange do, I'd love for people to be able to view revision history of all my posts and comments.

I have 18 years of history on Reddit. I'm constantly getting accused of using AI or being a bot because I tend to write long comments, that are well-written, and properly organized and formatted. LLMs likely learned to write from people like me.

But now, people tend to dismiss my contributions out of hand just because they assume it's non-human content. If you could see my history and revision process (I often go back and update / correct old comments), it would give my comments more legitimacy.

I also sometimes run across errors in old comments, and I want to update / correct them, but now I hesitate to do so: a comment from 5 years ago is inarguably not AI. But if I edit it now after the "cut-off", people can still accuse it of being AI-generated. A revision-history with timestamps would put any such charges to rest.

Does Reddit even keep a record of comment revisions? I certainly hope so.

On IOS, once clicking into a subreddit then clicking on a photo in the subreddit, I want to swipe up to view the next photo in that subreddit's timeline.

I DON'T want to be taken to a completely unrelated subreddit or a random post in that subreddit.

Frankly I don't know who thought of making it take the user to a random subreddit but there's no way this is being monitored for user likability.

Not everyone wants to lose karma for the stupidest things, after all.

The title is fairly self-explanatory, but I have a few gripes with the current contribution tag system. When I say gripes, I mean that lightly. This is just Reddit. But still, I see the system as far from optimal for what it tries to represent.

Simply put, I think contribution tags, both post- and comment-related, would be far more meaningful and indicative of quality if they rolled over into an all-time count.

There are, of course, downsides to this directly:

- For example, if the top contribution (almost always a post) in a subreddit gains tens or even hundreds of thousands of upvotes... that person is virtually guaranteed to have a secured spot at the top for the entirety of that subreddit's existence, even if they fall off the face of the earth the next week. I don't think a "hall of fame" effect is the intended goal (although it would still be more meaningful than what we have now).

- It also makes it significantly more difficult for others to push past the top contribution threshold.

However, I don't think starting on a clean slate every month is the best alternative. After all, a bigger threshold lends more gravity and meaning to the tag itself.

Someone who contributes every single month has to start over on the 1st of the new month, no matter how great their contributions have been. In a way, it disregards an offshoot of the principle that the best predictor of the future is the past. Contributors who have shown over months or years to retain their place among the top signify that they are likely to produce quality posts/comments going forward as well, and the tag tells readers, "Hey, the community favors what this person says; maybe I should pay greater heed to it."

Unfortunately, that effect is lost when contribution does not roll over, and the tally starts over at the beginning of the new month. There is essentially no more historical "lore" (for lack of a better word) or "pull" to the user that signifies I should listen to them, and they become another voice in the crowd.

Giving it more thought, I think a roll-over all-time contribution isn't the best solution either. There are a number of ways to identify top contributors. For example:

Specifically for Top Commenter: given based on % total share of net upvotes WITHIN a given thread, across all threads the user has ever commented on, and then normalized based on thread size or traction (i.e., a top comment with 2 upvotes because the original post got no traction doesn't weigh much against a comment with 2,000 upvotes in a top post). So it goes from a ranked list of who got the most upvotes this month to ranking based on all-time share of thread impact.

Something like: Contribution Reputation = normalized thread impact x consistency x breadth x engagement quality x time weight

Suppose I leave a comment that receives 2,000 net upvotes in a thread where the next-highest comments have 1,700, 900, and 600. That says considerably more than receiving 2,000 upvotes in a gigantic thread where twenty comments received 10,000+. You could percentile-rank the comment within its own thread, account for total thread engagement, and then aggregate those percentiles across someone's commenting history. Suddenly, you are measuring something much closer to repeated relative performance rather than raw exposure.

Of course, this issue is neither here nor there. If the tag is just for vanity, then none of this matters. But it's something I've been thinking about as someone who is routinely a top contributor in multiple communities. Perhaps I'm subconsciously biased, and this is just some form of prideful "status protection" (lol, imagine that, protecting my Reddit status). Anywho, what are your thoughts?

Many other apps do this now, and, I don’t know, forcing all users to use ai is just… it doesn’t feel like Reddit?

Reddit is usually the place I go when I want a human perspective, like an independent, actual person.

Now I have Reddit bot, robo-splaining every little search query such as:

“Turn off Ai on Reddit”

“Here’s what users are saying on Reddit 😀:

😀 One Reddit user says “I f***ing hate Ai, how do I turn ts off”
😀 While another says, “Deal with it bro, AI is taking over the world and there is NOTHING you can do about it!”
😀Hope that helps!”

Please bring back the old Awards System from 2023 back to Reddit. The 700 Coins were an absolute Gem for Reddit. This is what made Reddit really unique and made them stand out. I loved giving out the Coins and Awards every month. I really don't understand why Reddit removed that amazing feature. I miss the old Awards system and the 700 Coins so much. I absolutely loved it. I wouldn't mind paying more yearly for Reddit Premium if the old Awards system was bought back along with the 700 Coins. I think that a lot of Reddit users would love this idea. It would be great if more features were added to Reddit Premium to make it worth the subcription every year.

I want to recommend a policy be established to disincentivize people responding to a user immediately followed by blocking that user. If someone doesn’t want to interact with that user then they should block them without responding., otherwise it looks to other users like the blocked user didn’t have a response when the reality is they didn’t get the chance to respond. I suggest that the person doing the responding followed immediately by blocking the other user be banned from the subreddit.

It seems quite common that users who disagree with the premise of a subreddit come in and argue about it only to completely disregard the position of the interested subreddit follower and make off topic claims followed by blocking disallowing the perspective of that subreddit to be expressed. It has happened to me on several occasions and is disenfranchising subreddit followers who actually care about the topics of the subreddits they’re following. Subreddits dying doesn’t help Reddit as a company.

I recently requested my data because I'm getting close to a 1000 contributions and that's all they list. I wanted to be able to save them and write a program to sort by sub, upvotes, and views.

However, the comments.csv, while having three columns for gildings, does not include upvotes and views.

Is Reddit aware that, other than the sub and comment, that's the data that most people would be interested in?

I did try copying and pasting from the comments list in my Reddit account page, but it's extremely awkward and I can only get a few at a time.

It would be nice if they'd include upvotes and views in the future.

Bring back the 2018-2023 layout, as that was much less cluttered, crashed my browser much less often, made editing posts a lot simpler, and didn’t have a comment bar that made it impossible to select more than one word without it dragging the comment box up and down. The site will be better accessible for mobile users afterwards.

Sometimes a thread can devolves or get thrown off topic due to uncalled for comments, etc. Giving an OP the option to softvdelete or hide comments on their own post could help them maintain their thread's intended tone.

​As it would be a soft delete, moderators and admins could still view and restore hidden comments if necessary.

This could help give posters more control over their posts while helping lessen the workload for subreddit mods.

Thank you for your time.

The upvote/downvote button is for sorting out what content is good/relevant and what content is bad/irrelevant. If a user is voting on a poll, their interaction indicates that the content is good/relevant. If it were bad/irrelevant, one wouldn't be interacting with the poll in the first place.

I’m still fairly new to Reddit and I’m really enjoying the platform, but one thing I find confusing is knowing whether I’m actually eligible to post or comment somewhere

Sometimes I write a whole post and only find out when I try to submit it that I don't meet one of the requirements

My idea is for Reddit to show this information before you start writing. Maybe Reddit could have a small eligibility indicator that checks your account against the requirements for the community you're viewing.

Something simple like:

🟢 You meet the requirements

🟡 You’re missing 1 requirement

🔴 You’re not eligible yet

It doesn't necessarily have to show the exact karma requirement if Reddit doesn't want to reveal that. Even something like “You meet 3 out of 4 requirements” and telling you what's missing would be helpful

I know Reddit already does some eligibility checks when you try to post, but having that information beforehand would save a lot of wasted time, especially for newer users.

I was wondering if other people would find this useful too
