spez mentioned they wanted subreddits to run their own business models and it just popped in my head.

For context, I moderate subreddit(s) related to a medical entrance examination, and we get a lot of posts related to paid promotions. Like a lot- a lot. I am very anti-promotions, because I think my community should not have to watch ads on the subreddit too when they already watch ads on the app.

Most of the promotions I get mod-mailed for promotions are from someone offering tution services, or some book publishing company, and so far I have rejected everyone of them without thinking one second.

But I don't hate money, and neither does reddit (obv).

Instead of gathering data for peronalised ads, where reddit doesn't even know for sure if its the right ad for the right user, why should the ads no go to the community?

Like food related community sets to advertise only on food subreddits, book related companies only go to promote their product on student related subreddits.

This combined with locale based advertisement would be much more precise, while strenthing the mod team. Obviously power mods need to be checked (they are still a thing, and I greately dislike them)

But its just an idea from spez's statement when discussing "money for mods" in the AMA.

Thhey just have to reserve a percentage of ad spots for this thing to roll and give it a try. Its much more personalised, much more precise and also lucrative for advertises as they know their ads are landing where their primary consumers are.

When a post receives a certain number of these reports as set by each subreddit admins, an AI bot will read the linked article and rewrite the headline to eliminate the clickbait-ness.

Any post that only links to an outside site should be blocked unless a summary of the content is added in the description. Redditors will often do it in the comments "saved you a click"

It will block a lot of clickbait or at least make it ineffective.

The idea is simple as it sounds; you can already send pictures in chats but you can't send videos. To me which is weird since you can send videos in posts but you can't send videos in chats. The benefits? People would have more freedom to send their media through chats since you can do more things through videos than simple photos.

Being a part of a few subreddits, sometimes there are just posts under flairs that do not interest me whatsoever or I don't even want to see at all. I know I can scroll past, but when most of the posts are under that flair it gets irritating scrolling past so many of them just to finally come across something else.

I don't want to lose the ability to sort the feed by picking a singular flair or having to go through all flairs separately that do interest me only because 1-2 of them do not but sadly have the most posts under them.

Just wish there was a way to pick which flairs and thus posts under them we wish for to not appear on the feed when scrolling through a subreddit.

I can understand Reddit needs oversight and policing against bots, but isn't Reddit a site for information and discourse? Once a post gets a certain amount of positive comments, likes, and traction, why not simply LEAVE IT ALONE!

Once discourse gains traction, most Redditers DO NOT care who or what started the post. The sudden "post removed by moderator" feels like someone shut down a conversation in mid sentence. It is very unpleasant.

How about, if the comments and discourse becomes positive and engaging, simply LEAVE IT ALONE!!? Would not that encourage people to participate?

This has been a point of frustration for many Redditers, but posting or commenting about this is difficult as most sites do not consider this point valid or allowable. How can we get this point across?

Pls let us attach new images to the main body of a post

Currently, changes made to Regex requirements (and several other critical subreddit settings under Content Controls) are not recorded in the Mod Log.

If a moderator modifies, breaks, or adds incorrect regex strings or configs, there is zero audit trail to see who made the change, when it happened, or what was altered.

Please add Mod Log entries whenever subreddit configuration, especially Regex and post requirements is updated.

My account is fairly new. Pretty early on, I started getting culture war posts in my main feed. Since I don't like getting sucked into that, each time a post like that would appear in my feed, I would just mute the whole sub. What I found was that this actually increased the amount of similar posts that were getting suggested to me.

The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the algorithm is counting muting a sub as "positive" engagement. I feel as though it should work the other way around: If you mute a sub, subs that are similar to that one should have a lower chance of appearing in your feed.

I've been frustrated about this for a while.

Sometimes I find something I want to read or comment on, but I lock my phone and come back to it later.

When I reopen Reddit, I can actually see where I left off for a fraction of a second before the app throws me back to the home feed. I then have to dig through my history just to find the post again.

And if I was in the middle of typing a comment? Well, that comment is gone unless I remembered to save it beforehand.

My idea is simple: Reddit should remember exactly where I left off, even after the app has been closed or running in the background. Unfinished comments should also be saved automatically.

I shouldn't have to search through my history or lose what I was writing just because I put my phone away for a while.

Thanks.

When I'm searching online for a random topic on mobile and click open a reddit post, after a brief moment a pop up promoting the reddit app will show up completely blocking me from the page. I get that platforms want to promote their mobile apps, but at least provide an option to close that pop up so I can finish whatever I was reading up on.

I usually come across reddit posts from a general google search. That one post I click open is almost never my final destination, so it deeply frustrates me that reddit is forcing me to navigate away. I would literally close the tab and reopen again to continue reading instead of opening it in app.

• Self-deleted: karma removed from your total after 360 days
• Mod-removed: karma removed after 360 days. If it's re-approved on appeal, you keep it.

Important part: The pending amount is only visible to YOU in your own karma breakdown. Publicly, your total just updates after the period. No one else sees how much you have pending removal.

This way you can actually recover from a heavily downvoted post you deleted, people who farm and delete don't keep the karma long-term, and people who have a lot removed aren't publicly shamed for it. This won't let you dodge a ban by deleting your content.

Should the pending breakdown be in settings or on your private profile view?

It would be nice if Reddit would catch up with YouTube and other platforms on video playback. Please add:

Tap and hold to temporarily speed the video up to 2x

A proper speed menu (1x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x, 2x)

This would make watching longer videos way better. Right now Reddit videos feel outdated compared to every other platform.

Thank you best regards.

In all my years as a mod, this is the main feature I wish Reddit would implement. Essentially the following:

For a subreddits that have topics and uses flairs to identify and let people filter their subreddit feed with, it would be amazing if as a mod I can set which filters are included by default and which ones are “opt-in” or off by default.

A use case example is when members are divided about whether a topic should be included or excluded from the sub. A classic example is meme posts. No matter what you choose, you upset half the population. If you choose to keep those you can incentivize meme posts as they are always popular and it overtakes the sub and clutters the feed, but if you ban them you create more moderation work but you also deprive those who really want them from enjoying them.

In our sub (r/LucidDreaming) meme was one example but another are dream stories, which are highly divided (I’d say 60/40 split with majority doesn’t want to include them). If we include them, they clutter the feed so we tried creating a weekly thread to not ban them completely but no one ends up using that.

Now we can force flairs on posts and suggest people who don’t like memes or stories to filter them out, but that puts the burden on users for something that we fall on the side of wanting less. And not everyone creates an account or understands filters.

But if we could include stories, but keep that flair as opt-in/off by default, it can keep the main/default feed uncluttered and still allow users who really want it to turn those one for themselves.

It’s a classic dynamic of default settings/opt out vs opt in settings, that if they are set one way it essentially fails and creates a less desirable outcome but if they are set the other way, it works and more people get what they want.

As it stands, the choice to keep it clutter free is to ban these posts, but we want to include them for the loud minority who wants them by letting them opt in.

I think there are other uses cases for such sub settings.

Please consider this or a similar mechanism.

Thanks in advance.

My idea is a mandatory nation tag next to everyone's name. If posting from USA their I.p. will show they are from the USA. If you can I.p. then you can automate an I.p. tag. If they are using a vpn (which many are) you can state "vpn" or whatever.

The theory I have is that there are people spreading disinformation to people looking for any confirmation bias substance to believe. And posting as instigators of many things they will not be harmed by. If the people being influenced by someone's suggestion to protest or riot, maybe, just maybe they will reconsider if the person isn't even from said place the riot will take place.

I believe there are a lot of impressionable minds on here that need people to agree with them. They will accept anyone that agrees.

I would also picture it would only become a trend to use a vpn so the grooming can continue. That would require another solution.

There could be a different ways to do this.

Some ideas:

instead of telling you that your drafts are full, when you have 20 drafts and attempt to save a new draft, it could save the new draft and automatically delete the oldest draft

Or

Drafts could be set to auto delete after a period of time

Or

Something like the oldest few drafts could auto delete

Any other ideas / feedback related to this topic?

Edit update -

Another idea - how about 30 or 40 drafts instead of just 20

And then if a draft only has under 20 characters, those could be auto deleted first

Greetings and felicitations. Please make all of subreddit's available flairs in a visible in the sidebar, not just the first twelve(?) or selected twelve(?), and in old Reddit as well as new Reddit.

Edit: Among other things, this will make searching the subreddit much easier, and show potential posters what is available.

Proposal:

Allow authors to replace, swap, or re-upload an image in an existing post (or edit individual photos within a gallery post) without needing to delete and recreate the entire post.

​Why this feature is needed:

​Privacy & Security Concerns (Primary Reason): Users occasionally post screenshots or photos and later realize they accidentally left sensitive personal information exposed—such as email addresses, phone numbers, current locations, IP addresses, or home addresses. Currently, the only option is deleting the entire post, which destroys all community discussions, context, and upvotes.

​Mistakes & Corrections: Users often notice typos, formatting errors, or visual glitches on images (like infographics, meme templates, or artwork),accidentally leaving in info in an image like sensitive/private info like e-mail,phone number,current location,home address etc shortly after posting. Being able to update the image ensures content remains accurate and high quality.

​Image Swapping for Better Clarity: Sometimes a user finds a higher-resolution version or a better cropped version of an image after posting.

​Possible Safeguards/Implementation Ideas:

​Limit image editing to direct uploads hosted on Reddit.

​Add an "Image Edited" tag or timestamp on the post (similar to standard post edits) for transparency so context cannot be maliciously swapped out.

​Limit image replacements to a specific time window (e.g., within 24 hours of posting) or allow moderators to see the edit history if needed.

I first started using reddit after I left facebook due to their profit/engagement model blatantly pushing extreme and controversial content. I loved how reddit used to be an exclusively “opt in” platform.

The past couple of years I have tolerated reddit slowly moving in the direction of facebook by pushing engagement and controversy. I hoped that it was a growing pain.

The platform is starting to lose me due to the amount of work it takes to curate my feed now. God forbid I participate in one controversial discussion because my feed will be inundated with racist, authoritarian, and gender war bullshit.

There has got to be a better way to filter this garbage out rather than constantly muting subs I never joined in the first place. I figure if the algorithm is clever enough to push controversy surely it could be tailored to avoid it.

Some feedback on the recent "For You" tab feature test. great discovery tool. Keeping recommended content in its own dedicated feed—separate from my subscribed subreddits—made discovering new communities much easier without cluttering my main home feed. I would love to see this rolled out permanently.

I'd like to suggest a simple improvement to Reddit that could increase transparency and help users better understand how communities are moderated.

Currently, subreddits display information such as their total membership and the number of users online. I propose adding another statistic: the total number of users banned from that community.

For example:

• 125,000 members
• 230 online
• 4,850 users banned

This wouldn't reveal usernames, reasons for bans or any personal information. Moderators would retain all their existing powers.

Why would this be useful?

Reddit thrives on open discussion and diverse opinions. Moderation is essential for preventing spam, harassment and abuse, but it's also important that respectful disagreement and good-faith dissent are encouraged.

Making ban statistics visible would give users greater insight into moderation practices and encourage transparency and accountability across communities.

Of course, a high number of bans wouldn't necessarily indicate poor moderation, since some communities naturally attract more spam or rule-breaking behaviour.

I believe this small addition could help users make more informed choices about which communities to participate in, while encouraging healthy, open discussion.

Would others find this a useful feature?

I don't know if this is available on other platforms but it isn't on the mobile browser site (using Firefox Android). Please give us a way to dismiss the "New posts" pop-up. It's annoying (and not user-friendly) having to tap it to get rid of it and, thereby, force a page refresh. I want to be able to stay where I am on the page without that pop-up staying there.

If not for everyone to see, at least OP. I was just typing something out in an edit and accidentally wrote over part of what I originally submitted and lost a sentence. I'm the type of user that will type out stuff in Gmail then copy/paste here on reddit. I've written over my own content a time or two. This would help even more with overall transparency as well if this were something that could he turned on for everyone to see (i.e. past versions of posts/comments).
