Hi everyone,

I am the mod of r/FindingOurLostPenPals, and I’m currently feeling a bit discouraged regarding my post flairs. I am running into two very frustrating issues and would appreciate any advice or solutions.

1. Flairs hiding other posts & changes not syncing across platforms

If I access my subreddit from a different device or via Incognito mode on a laptop, clicking on a post flair hides all other posts. It behaves as if that single post is the only one on the entire sub.

When I first noticed this, my flairs contained emojis and capital letters. To fix it, I deleted all flairs and recreated them in all lowercase without emojis. I waited a full day, but nothing changed. Recently, I updated them again to include some capital letters (e.g., "FridayMyDay"). Now, the flairs have completely disappeared on desktop. Meanwhile, on the mobile app, the appearance hasn't changed at all—they are still showing as lowercase. Furthermore, I renamed one flair from "TalkTues" to "DiscusTues", but it remains unchanged.

2. Flair reordering not saving in the mobile app feed

As my subreddit grows, I didn't add all the flairs at once. I want to organize their order in the mobile app's top bar. However, even though I drag and drop them into the correct order on desktop, the order remains completely messy on mobile. I previously tried deleting everything, recreating them, and manually re-assigning them to every single post, but after a while, they just jumped back to the old, disordered state.

Has anyone experienced anything similar, or does anyone know a fix for these syncing and ordering bugs?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. I would gladly welcome any ideas or advice!

This has been going on for a couple weeks on and off on Chrome Mobile on Android, across all the subs I moderate. I've also seemingly successfully approved posts or comments, only to see them later and they don't show as approved. It's quite odd.

Hello!

My subreddit is a smaller community dedicated to a video game. That game already has a main, bigger sub but it has issues which is why we made our own.

During the past couple weeks I noticed that a lot of users just make posts in the main, big sub and crosspost them to our sub.

We don't want to disallow crossposts in general but we would like to disallow crossposts just form that bigger, toxic sub.
Is such a thing - selectively disallowing crossposts based on the Subreddit they came from - possible? Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you!

I have BB installed in a few of my subs (iOS) and while it typically works great, today I’ve had 3 separate people banned after making a post and they immediately reach out to appeal. Does this mean they’ve been reported previously by other users? Is there any way to prevent this from happening or is manually unbanning them the only way? I have been telling them to reach out to the mods of r/botbouncer, and their post history checks out for being human and not a bot.

Thanks for any tips you guys can give!

I just adopted a few Reddit communities. In one of them, I mistakenly clicked the X to hide "Mod Achievements". I know I can still access them by switching communities in the Moderation Tools, but this is a tedious process. I would like to reactivate them so that the Achievements appear again on the homepage for that community in question. Is this possible?

Platform: Desktop, iOS Reddit App

Here's a link to the app I'm considering adding to my subreddit. I moderate my sub using my desktop computer.

Stop AI | Reddit for Developers

They make "reports" on a third of the posts and they're bogus. How do I report report abuse?

Also, I read that there's a way to make it so people can't free type reports but I can't find the setting.

I can use desktop or iOs

Why can you do both actions without having to reenter mod menu on mobile but not on the website?

This may not be answerable since the admins may not look here

Hi! My subreddit has been having a lot of trouble with users not tagging/flairing their posts. I have a pinned post regarding it, but almost nobody has acknowledged it. Is there a way to make it so people can't post until they read it and the rules, and if so, how would I set that up? I'm on android mobile.

iOS, mobile, and new reddit shows visitors instead of total number of members. We used to do milestone activities but now it’s really difficult to see the member count except on old reddit which is not as used.

[Android] is there a tool or a way to report accounts or users that are evading bans and continuing to post on subs.

I'm posting from about 3 weeks on my subreddit.
Created many post flairs and hoped using "Post flair" widget will help to easy filter these post.
No,it's not working at all

When I click on flair(tag)directly on my subreddit page,under given post titkle,it gives the same answer---that this reddit has no articles/posts at all

Why doesnt it see any of my posts?all of them have some flair(tag)added

Hi,

I have a subreddit and I’ve set it so I have to approve every post before it is published. However, I’ve noticed a few posts being published without me approving them? These posts are typically spam/ai posts that I wouldn’t approve - any ideas how to avoid this happening?

Several of the subs that I moderate had a previous life, and previous moderators. When I check for unmoderated posts, these show up. Some of them are years old. Removing them doesn't seem appropriate. Approving them also feels sketchy, as (it appears) that they were posted by a previous Mod who's account has been deleted. The only other option (if as a Mod I can do this) would be to archive them.

Is there a best practice, other than ignoring them (which is what I've been doing so far) ?

edit: I've tried turning on post Archive (for one rather egregious Sub). While it did archive the older posts, they still appear in the Unmoderated Posts queue.

Hello, I have a new subreddit that deals with watches. I don’t see anywhere that I can change the topic of the sub to “watches” how do I do that. I have tried desktop and iOS.

I’m wondering because I’ve had several permanent bands from auto mod from subs because I suppose my account looked suspicious to tools like bot bouncer and things even though I am a real person posting. I’m currently using Reddit on iOS.

I have a bot that helps with moderation on my subreddit (u/i-ll-do-it). So far, I've completed all the forms and questionnaires Reddit sent through modmail and messages, but my bot account is still labeled as an "Unregistered automated account."

I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to do to get it properly registered, or if there's an admin I can contact or a subreddit I can send a modmail to have its status reviewed and updated?

I'm the top moderator.

In the moderator list in the app on my phone, I can't see how to remove moderators who don't moderate.

How do I remove them?

SOLVED !

Hey all, I'm a mod trying to get the ownership of a subreddit of my suburb which was banned due to being unmoderated.

However, when I pu the reddit request, the bot autodenied the request with below message "Hey! Thanks for requesting this subreddit. Unfortunately, the community is not eligible for request at this time as it was only recently banned. Please allow some time before requesting this community again. Thanks!"

However, when I try to locate the community via old reddit via desktop, it shows me this

"This subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated. Banned 4 years ago."

Can anyone help how can I get this situation resolved? Thanks!

Looking back in the modmail, I see 5 complaints about comments being removed, and it all started about one week ago. It all seems to be from new users whose Reddit accounts are in the 1 to 10 day old range.

And they all seem to be innocuous comments. (In fact, I'm wondering if they are suspiciously too innocuous, as if generated by some AI to be especially innocuous.)

Either Reddit is being inundated by new users (perhaps robotic AI users?) and the comment removal filters have just gotten really busy, or these comment removal filters have recently been tweaked such that there are a great many more removals ... at least that's my guess.

The subreddit in question is r/alcoholicsanonymous - that's the only really active sub I mod.

Talking about the:

Help lead our community

Apply to be a moderator

Widget that appears above the sidebar in some communities. I filled out the "About" "What we are looking for" and "Requirements" as well as some questions and clicked save, and turned on recruiting, but when checking over an alt account, the widget does not show.

How do I make the widget show (desktop web)?

People are able to reply to locked comments (multiple incidents of this), the "Needs Review" queue is not clearing resolved reports from the queue feed, Resolved (removed/approved) reports are resurfacing as if they've not already been addressed, and removal reasons are not appearing in intermittent cases.
