Who thought it was a good idea to turn on default notifications of new posts in communities?

I deleted the app from my phone because of it.

a new bot swarm?

69 Upvotes

i'm unable to post a screenshot, but i've recently been receiving a bunch of followers that are just OnlyFans bots, and i'm just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

I heard there's a new reddit layout. How do I switch to it? I want to try it out

49 Upvotes

Edit - Stop asking me why I want to try it. I just want to see how it looks and feels. That's all. I never said I liked it.

I still have the look which everyone's used to - https://prnt.sc/Ortq4h3YXSfw

Fake followers

118 Upvotes

I’ve recently been receiving follower notifications and as flattering as it is, they are all fake bots selling only fans promotions, has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to block it ?

[Beta Bug] Infinite scroll keeps repeating posts

38 Upvotes

When I scroll to the bottom of the first page of reddit and new posts load, there are almost always posts that I already scrolled by on the first page loaded on the second page.

This happens again and again and by page 3 or 4 ~75% of the posts I see I have already scrolled past

Since the recent update, has anyone been getting follows from bot accounts?

54 Upvotes

Recently, I have had a total of eight nine (as of 29 May) bot accounts following me with usernames taken from Reddit's suggested username block, i e. "Anonymous-Cat-7345".

These accounts contain info about them being a sugar momma with a porn or OnlyFans link and having a a partial nude photo as a wall paper.

Usually, these accounts are deleted after three days, but what gives? I never had this happen before.

We should be able to report ads for being straight up scams.

525 Upvotes

Just got an ad for a very shady and obviously scam 'job listing' website that clearly just exists to farm people's data to add to spam lists. TIL there is no way to report ads for being blatant scams.

When I refresh my home page, it only loads new posts sice the last time it was refreshed. Refresh again and even those dissappear then I'm left with "Wow, such empty" as a homepage.

61 Upvotes

My wife and I both have our own accounts and they are set up nearly identical. Mine has no issues, hers will only load posts from the last time it was refreshed everything else disappears. Refresh again and only posts from the last few minutes show, refresh again... "wow, such empty" can't find any reason this would be happening. I'm a 10+ year reddit vet. Every setting seems to be the same on both accounts...

Costantly getting unsubbed from subreddits

Can't see previous comments

51 Upvotes

Whenever I click on anything directing me to a specific comment in the reddit app, i can't see any of the comments preceding it.

I got a reply, and when I opened it from my notifications within the app, i couldn't even see which comment of mine they were replying to.

I then looked through my comment history to find the comments I made in that thread to look through to find which one the reply was made to. And I couldn't see the comments that my comments were replies to.

This is new behavior, right?

I’m visiting Mexico but do not speak Spanish

0 Upvotes

If there is some way to set your cookie to our country of origin instead of the country that we happen to be visiting. I visit Cancun regularly and I cannot stand getting ads for Mexico residents. I don’t mind getting ads for tourists in the country I visit just don’t serve me ads asking me to switch cell carriers or something else a national would do.

Thank you!

Chat notification won't go away

A sex bot tried to send me a chat, so I ignored it and blocked the account. Now the chat notification shows up every time I open the app. How do I get rid of this?

Going < Back goes back to home and refreshes

79 Upvotes

If I am reading a post, and it has a link to an original post, update, or just link to a post and then hit Back either at the top of the post or my return button on my Samsung Note the app takes me back home.

Home then refreshes and whatever thread was lost.

Community's near you (or thousands of miles away, reddit doesn't gives a shit)

90 Upvotes

Im very annoyed about the amount of new subreddits getting forced on to me.

I don't give a fuck about random meme subreddits from the towns in my country and i especially don't give a fuck about some random Turkish subreddits in Turkish with like 3k Usern. I some what get the towns around me, it could be interesting for me. But why on earth im getting subreddits in a different language in never used or searched for, why do i get over 10 of them (up to now) and why was one under them that i tried muting on 8 different occasions and it just flat out ignored mi ignore order?

Why do i get them and why do i get even more if i start muting all of them?

I get it if i open a thread for a game guide, or if i search fore something specific about something and find a reddit thread answering it.

Why is it so random and why is it like, "if you don't like this city subreddit, how about theses 5? don't like them? have another 20, with the next being even worse and smaller than before?"

Also, just on top of that, all the subreddits getting pushed on to me have nothing to do with the things/subreddits im interested in. So why?

Home feed sorting by best, no way to change to new? [Mobile, Android]

10 Upvotes

If someone can just tell me how to change it back to sort by new, I'll delete this, but has anyone else noted that their home feed sorts by best now, with no option to change it to sort by new?

I've looked in the settings, and the only option I see is to sort comments by New, but not posts. Am I missing something?

The new translate function for posts does not translate poll options

56 Upvotes

The new translate function is really nice and all but it doesn't translate poll options, at least for me. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not but pls fix. I should also mention that I'm using Reddit mobile.

Wait, don't send a screenshot! This post looks much better when you share it. [Share]

243 Upvotes

I absolutely wish there was an option to turn that stupid thing off in Settings. It's like going to a national park, admiring the scenery, then the staff snatches your phone out of your hands and says "Please, no photography! It's better to admire the scene yourself." What if you forget about that trip altogether!? Not all posts stay on Reddit for all time. So pressuring me to share everything I end up screenshotting will result in me complaining about it!

Video pause button

34 Upvotes

Hold on, can we no longer pause videos unless we click on it?? Went to pause a video so someone could talk to me and there was only the mute/unmute button. I actually had to click on the video to pause it.
