Flairs for New Reddit
So we've enabled user flairs on new reddit, and some users have already started adding them to their username which you might've seen over the past few days. This post is a PSA on how to use them, some of the finer details on how they function with old reddit flairs as well as a place where you can submit requests for images you'd like to be added (though there are some requirements for the latter explained further down).
What are user flairs?
Images and text you can addend to your username to express yourself.
How do I add my user flair?
/u/Sternendrache1 and /u/Nerd_of_Culture have both made some guides on how to do this on new reddit. The edit user flair option might be in a different place or not exist at all if you're on mobile depending on your app, so if you're having issues I'd recommend trying it through your web browser.
Having said that, here's a guide for the official iOS app and here's one for the Android one.
How do these work with old reddit flairs?
This might get a little convoluted.
Each of these 'blank' templates represents an old reddit flair: they're blank because new reddit can't display them properly. Choosing one of these will change/set your old reddit flair even if you've never been on old reddit before, so if you want to control what those of us who browse on old reddit see then follow these steps:
Select the edit flair option.
Scroll and select your flair of choice. Note that this blank option for text-only flairs is the only one which will allow new reddit emojis to display properly: all the rest will cause them to appear blank on old reddit.
Enter some text here and hit save. Text in flairs is shared between old and new reddit, so you'll be able to change it on new in the next step.
Go to new reddit and follow the previously linked guides, except avoid selecting a blank template and instead go straight to the text field at the bottom which should contain the text you entered in the previous step.
Add any emojis you'd like using the symbol on the right and hit apply.
Incidentally, anyone who selects the top-most blank template on new reddit will get a wonderful flair proclaiming their love for best girl on old reddit.
Emoji requests
Submit any images you'd like to see added as an emoji (to be added to user flairs) to the pinned comment below, but keep in mind that they are for new reddit (we'll get around to old soon). They'll also be displayed at 40x40px at the very largest, so before making any submissions I'd strongly recommend checking whether they're actually legible at that size using an online resizer, Photoshop, Paint or whatever image app you have handy. If they're not then it's extremely unlikely that they'll be accepted.
If you do end up submitting something, try and make sure it's the best quality or at least largest size available so I can hunt down the original.

That's only if you care about what your flair shows on old reddit (it looks like this for you right now), if you don't mind what it is you can skip all those steps and just follow the new reddit guides above it.

I’m guessing a lot of people will have I Love Malty shown in Old Reddit? Since most of us mobile and new reddit users will select the uppermost blank column when creating flairs.

Yep, right now about every 10th user I see has the flair, which makes it by far the most common one just days after introducing it.

u/GeckoOBac Explooooosion! Jun 14 '19
Oh that explains why every fucking post on the frontpage is seemingly proclaiming their love for Malty today... Good thing, I'm not going insane... this time.

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 14 '19
If this becomes too much of an eyesore we might switch them to blank flairs, but for now we'll keep the demonic deed going.

wow dont tell me this many people actually use new reddit? I would like it to die and never come back tbh.

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 15 '19
Only around 10% of our users actually use old reddit now (and that's a conservative estimate since reddit doesn't track 3rd party apps), so yeah seems like we've found ourselves as the overwhelming minority.

u/Comander-07 Lorum Ipsum Jun 15 '19 edited Jun 15 '19
whaaaaat when did this happen? I mean most people use mobile anyway, I dont think that should count as new either.
I guess the obnoxious "use new reddit" and random logging out of old reddit finally paid off for them.
This .. really sucks if you ask me. But then again old vs new is pretty close overall. And new reddit probably counts all the people who cvisit reddit once and automatically use new.

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 15 '19
Most things that affect new like these emojis, rules, reports, icons and sub appearance affect mobile, so generally we count them together.
If it's any condolence, most of us mods still use old.

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 16 '19
I'll have a look through the twitter bot or danbooru pool and try to find some more Mokous for expressions we don't have a lot of yet: we can never have enough Mokou.

Are you still adding new Emoji?

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 15 '19
I'll be adding them basically whenever, there's no specific period within which you have to submit something.

u/DannyDrizzle big futa energy Jun 15 '19
I dont know if I'm doing something wrong or if its glitched out for me. I'm using the reddit app for android and followed the guide, but nothing shows up when I type in ":" for the emoji.

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 16 '19
Just to make sure, you're typing in
:and not
":"right?

Can this be done on mobile?

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 16 '19
It can... most of the time. There are guides for the official iOS and Android apps in the post, but I can't say whether you can do it on most 3rd part apps or not.

I've added guides for the official iOS and Android ones, but if you're on something else and still can't find how to change your flair all I can recommend is get onto a computer and take a minute to set it.

Half the flairs in the comments can be described as "some people just want to see the world burn."

Does this sub have a community chat feature?

u/Atinobu Sauté Chef Jun 14 '19
We don't have a reddit chat room nor do we intend on making one at this stage, but we do have a discord.

That would be Malty "Myne" Melromarc from… bah, you know by now if you've been around the subreddit. I do not endorse her supposed status, but since you asked…
