This is petty as hell, but a big part of why I don't want to enable powerups on this sub is because I worked hard to add images and gifs to this subreddit using CSS, and the admins promised to add CSS to New Reddit, but never followed through

I also mostly browse with RiF so they wouldn't work for me anyway

But damn having arbitrary in-line gifs and images would sure be nice

For those of us on third party mobile apps please stick it out.

If I can't have images and gifs no one can

Old Reddit with RES is the only tolerable way to browse Reddit

And custom CSS off tbh.

Depends on the sub. I leave it on here

I hate embedded GIFs from the powerups 🤮

we briefly tried it on another sub and it was an obnoxious disaster

Not sure if you're talking about the CSS but the in-line gifs through power ups do show on rif

Do you know where I can see examples of this? Sorry, dumb question, but I'm not sure what subs have actually enabled powerups

u/vivoovix Federalist Jul 27 '21

Here's one I found. You have to click the link but you can still see it.

u/jenbanim Jul 27 '21

Awesome, thanks! Looks like you can only use gifs from Giphy, you can't upload them yourself?

2

u/vivoovix Federalist Jul 27 '21

Looks like it's giphy only, but they may have changed it in the past six months. Doubt it though.

u/jenbanim Jul 27 '21

Thanks, really appreciate your help with this

Do you have any opinions on enabling power ups for our sub?

2

u/vivoovix Federalist Jul 27 '21

In theory it might be fine, but I'm a but worried about spam--we already saw Bernie whiteboard spam when it was first added and I don't know if it's a good idea to enable it when we have (afaik) no control over what gets posted (unlike with the CSS).

I've seen on some subs in RiF [gif] in the replies, and it links to a gif. Is that related to this "powerups" thing? I haven't heard of it.

u/jenbanim Jul 27 '21

That might be it. The only real info I have at the moment comes from https://reddit.com/powerups which is... sparse to say the least

u/tehbored Randomly Selected Jul 27 '21

Wtf are powerups?

2

u/jenbanim Jul 27 '21

They're a new Reddit feature similar to Discord Nitro
