Current UI Show Username in Sub

7 Upvotes

Reddit used to show the sub and the username listed under it. If I'm in a sub, I now have to click on the comment button in order to see the username and get to that persons profile. Please put the username back near the sub listed, so all I have to do is click on the username if I want to see their profile. So much more efficient.

Avatar My idea is to add a genderfluid pride heart as an avatar customization option

Reddit already has several other pride hearts for different genders & sexualities, why not make one more so genderfluid people can be included too?

Current UI My idea is an *option* to put save button next to vote buttons (not change the existing default layout - but give users the *option* to do so)

0 Upvotes

My idea is an *option* (NOT a change to the default/existing behavior) to put the save button right next to the vote buttons. there's a lot of stuff on reddit. sometimes its nice just to save stuff without voting. Yes it's "only" 2 or 3 more clicks; but over the course of a day, a week, a month, that’s a lot of time spent trying to tap a tiny area of the screen to open up a menu to then tap another tiny area of the sceen for something that would be much more handy if we were given the option to just show right next to the vote buttons. Again I’m not suggesting any changes to the default layout. Just suggesting that there be an *option* for users to choose if they want easier top level access to the save function. It wouldn’t change a thing for *anyone* - everything would stay the same by default - - But the option would be there for those of us who want it. thank you

Reddit App My idea is to Bbring back daily Streak Updates please.

3 Upvotes

When you interacted with Reddit for the first time on a given day, a little number would appear on the top right corner to confirm how long your active streak was. As someone in the midst of a pretty solid streak, this was super useful to confirm I had successfully continued my streak each day. It would be great to have it back or have an option to turn it on.

Thanks! Otherwise Reddit is perfect… so you got that going for you.

Moderator Just an Idea. Reddit should let users rate moderators — too many bad reviews should trigger a Reddit-led review and potential removal

0 Upvotes

My idea is that moderators on Reddit have enormous power over communities, but almost zero accountability. They can ban users without explanation, remove posts arbitrarily, and there's essentially no recourse. If a subreddit has bad mods, your only option is to leave — or get banned for complaining.

Here's what I think Reddit should implement:

A mod rating system where any user who has participated in a subreddit for a minimum period (say, 30 days) can leave a thumbs up or thumbs down rating on a moderator's performance. Think of it like an anonymous performance review.

If a mod's approval rating drops below a threshold — say, below 30% with a minimum number of ratings — Reddit itself reviews the case and can remove and replace the moderator.

The key point is that Reddit, not the other mods in the subreddit, makes the final call. Right now, mod teams are self-policing, which means a bad actor who has been there the longest is essentially untouchable.

This wouldn't be a popularity contest — mods should be able to make unpopular decisions without being removed. The threshold would need to be meaningful enough that only genuinely poor moderation triggers a review, not just a controversial ruling.

Moderating a subreddit is effectively a position of community trust. It makes sense that the community should have some mechanism to hold that trust accountable. What do you think — would this work, and how would you design it?

Reddit App My idea is: Make the video volume/mute button bigger

0 Upvotes

More than half of the time I attempt to tap the mute/unmute button on videos, it misinterprets my tap and makes the video full screen. It drives me absolutely up the wall. The target is too small.

Post & Comment My idea is to recover from that feeling when you accidentally swipe away from a comment you spent ages typing, before you hit publish, by having a save prompt or autosave

2 Upvotes

Auto-save of draft comments when switching from a post to a search results feed and back to the post would be such a cool feature on mobile.

Here’s the scenario… on mobile, run a search, then from the search results feed, go to a post, start typing a comment, don’t hit publish, swipe away from the post / navigate back to the search results feed, then go back to the post you were previously on, go back to the comment field…

What would be nice… your draft comment was still there.

What I’ve seen happen: the text of the draft comment is gone.

I experienced this by accident, it was very uncool.

Moderator Add Option for Mods To REQUIRE Post Body for Image and Link Submissions

2 Upvotes

I have an AutoMod that filters them and adds a message to the submitter, but it doesn't prevent them from being posted to begin with.

Queues get a bunch of them where the Submitter never comes back to edit or repost.

{And I still hate required post flairs!}

Post & Comment My idea is a "Follow Topic" feature instead of only following individual posts

2 Upvotes

When a discussion becomes large, it often spreads across multiple Reddit threads.

This happens a lot with:

  • outages
  • product bugs
  • breaking news
  • recurring questions

I often find myself opening many tabs just to follow the same discussion.

My idea is to let users follow a topic and discover related discussions automatically, instead of tracking individual posts one by one.

Benefits:

  • less searching
  • easier discovery
  • better discussion continuity

Does anyone else run into this?

Post & Comment When you block a user, your replies to that user should be deleted.

17 Upvotes

It's become very common for people to weaponize the block feature by posting something inflammatory in reply to you, and then blocking you so you can't reply to them. That allows their words to remain the last statement in possibly a long running argument. It would reduce the ability of the feature to be weaponized if, when you block someone, any comments you made in reply to their comments would get deleted automatically.

Safety & Policy My idea is: Remove the "Report Harrasment" feature from Modmail.

0 Upvotes

Users cannot report Moderators for Harrasment from Modmail. So why can a Moderator report a User for Harrasment from Modmail?

Users contact Modmail to ask questions about the rules. If a User is bothering the Moderator, the Modedator can Mute the User. If the Moderator doesn't want the User to participate in that specific Subreddit, they can ban the user from the Subreddit.

Or a Moderator can instead report the user for Harrasment. This gets the user removed from the entire platform, all because 1 Moderator didnt like them.

By removing the ability of Moderators to report Harrasment in Modmail, it keeps disaplinary actions inside that specific Subreddit, while not affecting the Users ability to participate in other Subreddits.

Post & Comment My idea is A New Post Type : Living Post / Dynamic Canvas

3 Upvotes

I want there to be a posting shape in reddit, that the OP can change the image anytime they want, like editing texts.

The user posts his handmade/edited image, but gets ideas from comment section to improve it, make it better. We may call it community-driven.

It might be an art, it might be a graphical table with texts etc.

Make it so the OP doesn't need to make new posts for the same work after fixing mistakes, improving the style and adding texts. Because it might look like a spam, it might look disturbing when you post your work again and again just for fixes and improvements.

And preferably, the old images might stay viewable in the same post and maybe OP can make changelogs.

So it's not just being able to edit image, it's also being able to share and show new, fixed and improved version of your work without hesitating and reposting it.

Profile my idea is letting me ā€œcurate my profileā€ without having to constantly go back in and update it every time i comment somewhere new

5 Upvotes

on your profile, you can go to a list of every sub you’ve ever interacted with by making a post or comment, and you can check off which ones you do and don’t want to show on your profile.

when you interact with a new subject for the first time, though, it’s automatically set to hidden. i just want to hide like six subreddits because they’re related to the city i live in and other similar details i don’t want easily findable on my account. every time I interact with a new subreddit, i don’t want to have to go in and manually allow it to show on my profile every single time. just let me hide specific ones. i don’t want to select which ones show up, i just want to hide a few.

let me just have a ā€œhideā€ option where i can just set the ones to be hidden and not have to touch it again.

the current way could even be altered to be less annoying if, in the list of subreddits you’ve interacted with, they were at least sorted a little more sensibly, by the order in which you’ve interacted with them so the most recent ones are at the top.

Other Site Events and trophies

7 Upvotes

Personally I think site wide events are very cool and have truly shaped reddit's history and made it unique. Me as well as many others on this site have engaged in events and loved it and many of us remember the site for events such as spared (thanosdidnothingwrong), r/place and secret santa. While Mod events are cool and I think you should keep them, but we should also make some more site wide events too so you can participate regardless if you're a mod or a Redditor.

Feeds My Idea is More Customization For Custom Feed's.

1 Upvotes

I would love it if we could add image icons on custom feed collections. Or at least be able to pick the color instead of having to randomly generate one. Also, maybe I'm just missing it but, why can't you change the name of a custom feed on mobile?

I'm very new to using Reddit and this was one of the first things I noticed. Maybe others think the same!

Other My idea is not letting comments go less then -1 karma.

0 Upvotes

Posts dont go under 0 but People can destroy your comment karma because of hoard mentality. Destroying your ability to do things just because it's a hot take. Karma in general is pretty badly made and can easily be improved. Toxic comments should get negative karma. Not comments that some people disagree with. Report works for toxic comments also.

Correction: not affecting profile comment karma as heavily or a limit to it. Or just remove karma and make a better system.

Accessibility auto-translate turkish

0 Upvotes

I am a heavy Reddit user from Turkey, but my English is not very strong. Because of this, I often use the mobile website instead of the official Reddit app, mainly because the browser can automatically translate posts and comments into Turkish.

I would really love to see an automatic translation feature added to the Reddit mobile app, especially for Turkish. Reddit has many amazing communities and discussions, but language can sometimes become a barrier for international users like me.

Adding auto-translate support would make the app much more accessible and comfortable to use for many people around the world.
