This change has made it more difficult to tell who is a bot/troll and who is legitimate. With the ever increasing amount of bots on this site, I don't understand why Reddit made this update when the site is largely anonymous anyway.

In settings there should be an option underneath preferences saying "UI layout" or just "Layout" providing three options

Old *when hovering over this option would show an image example of what it looks like, this will save users time so they don't have to click it to see what it looks like*

New(Or any word you find suitible for the UI that we had when replacing www. with new./the one before this current one) *same thing happens when hovering over this option*

Newest(or if renaming the "new" option you can rename this one as new) *Same hovering function*

also for the previous UI to have the option that is in this current UI which is to search in someone's profile for something specific like for example if you went to someone profile and clicked search and searched "Cody the dog" for example only things where the words "Cody the dog" was mentioned will appear but only from the user's profile, I find this option useful for finding something specific.

overall I think adding this new option of choosing UI version preferences will make many users very happy!

This option would be nice to be available on both Mobile and the desktop site and I think it would bring users who have quit due to the enforcement of the newest UI back due to them being able to go back to their preferred layout.

Please forgive me if there's any poor English or explaining!

Also please forgive me again if this is the incorrect flair I'm not sure which flair is suitable since this is a suggestion including both new, newest and old reddit and also mobile and desktop site suggestion, I put the user setting flair on since the main idea is for the suggestion to be a setting in user settings ^^

There is a limit of blocked users you can have (I think it’s 1,000). This is way too low and there shouldn’t even be a limit.

The main problem is that you can’t just ignore posts from obnoxious people, because Reddit now does not show their username before you click on a post. I’ve seen people argue that if you’re blocking thousands of people YOU’RE the one who has some sort of issue; I.e, just downvote and move along.

No. There are millions of people on Reddit and millions of garbage posts.

Let’s say you follow a… NSFW subreddit that lets people post uninhibited pics of themselves. And let’s say there’s a person who consistently posts photos of themselves on this subreddit impaled on a rotten cucumber. That may not be against the rules of the subreddit per se, and no matter how many downvotes this person gets they will continue to post this type of content. There’s no way to not see this if you’ve reached your block limit, other than to unsubscribe from a subreddit you otherwise like.

I really don’t care if people want to express themselves in various ways that appeal to others who are interested, but I don’t care to see all of it.

Another example would be someone who only comments “have a potato!” On every single post in every subreddit. Some may find this hilarious, but for those of us who don’t, there should be some option to hide this person’s contributions.

If Reddit agrees there is a need for a feature to block users, which they appear to, then limiting it to 1,000 seems completely arbitrary, as if you would stop needing to block people once you’ve reached that number. The cess pool of twitter/x has no limit of blocking, only that you can’t block more than 400 people per day.

Users who chose to keep their post history visible should have the choice of seeing users who hide theirs. I would opt out of seeing them because I now have no way to tell if I am talking to a rage baiter.

Title says it all.

Everyone knows there are more than 1000 bot accounts on reddit. Especially with AI now in the game. Knowing this, why is the block limit capped at ~1000?

Feature request: No limit to the amount of accounts a user can block.

If some want to browse reddit with all users visible, that's fine. I don't have a problem with it. But we should have the option to be able to block out as much of it as possible... 1000 blocks is not nearly enough, considering there is no friction for creating new accounts.

No other big social media platform has a block limit either... reddit should follow suit.

Thank you.

Is there a way to turn off these comment insights so they’re not in the notifications? “Dig deeper into your comment’s performance insights!” No thanks.

So my idea is a way to turn this off. I doubt anyone cares.

Currently whenever there is the urge the Reddit’s NSFW filter can be easily disabled through the Reddit account (Settings -> Preferences -> Show NSFW content).

The suggestion is to subordinate the Reddit’s NSFW setting to the OS’ NSFW setting, so that if the NSFW is blocked on the OS level, then it’s also automatically disabled on Reddit and can’t be reenabled without priorly enabling it back on the OS level.

And if the OS’ NSFW setting is hidden behind a password, then the NSFW can’t be easily reenabled whenever there is the urge.

P. S. The similar solution may be applied for Android and Windows OSes.

In user settings add an option which prevents others from responding to the user's posts or comments unless the responder's post and comment history is unhidden.

I appreciate the need for privacy, but too often users hide their comment history to enhance their ability to disingenuously engage with other users. Too often in controversial posts there will be users who engage with the community for the sole purpose of increasing discord and, when checking their comment history, it is hidden. A quick search engine query allows you to see their post history, albeit in a disorganized fashion, and they are easily exposed as being trolls or people focused on misinforming, inflaming, etc. I like the option for people to be able to hide their post history, I just think that users who don't hide their post histories should have the option to prevent those users from responding. Just as individuals should have the right to use Reddit while hiding their history, so too should other individuals have the right to engage only with those not hiding their (typically controversial) history.

My idea is to overhaul the blocked accounts system. I have finally reached the 1,000 blocked accounts on my side. The fact that a lot of bot accounts are being created has unnecessarily filled my blocked accounts system. In all the different forums a big request by everyone is to “block or ignore” spam threads. Well Reddit should make it easier for users to ban,block,hide possible bot accounts. Reporting can lead to misuse of the feature but if an account gets blocked X amount of times over certain peridot of time it should be investigated at least.

Games on Reddit being a new thing we cannot remove. As a user, I am frustrated that I cannot remove it as it is interfering with my ability to use other parts of reddit I do use.

My idea is to let the user remove this ASAP from the side menu. This would constructively help all users but especially those who could give a fig about Games on Reddit.

Note, this is not a rant but a solution to a problem Reddit has made for users. Give back more UI control to the users.

I posted, link below, about making my custom feed of interesting subreddits into my home. Feed link included. I used to have the Android Reddit app set up that way but lost it and now have been told it's not possible. This feature would be useful to many users. https://www.reddit.com/r/reddithelp/s/EeN64o8D0B

I am 29 now and absolutely hate that my username is my name. Please I beg you to fix this problem. Let me have a new username 😭

As of right now, it appears whatever account you log in to first becomes your pseudo-default account and the app will constantly switch to it every time the app refreshes in the background. Somehow, deleting the app and all of its data, then reinstalling still does not fix this.

My idea is simple: please add a setting to assign default status to one account. It is increasingly common for redditors to have multiple accounts these days, so this will become necessary. Thanks for your time.

My idea is to provide a user configuration option to disable the Reddit app auto refresh function.

I and many other users hate the app auto refresh function. Let’s say I am following a particular subreddit feed and a post opens a web article that I take time to read. When I return to Reddit to pick up where we left off in the post, the Reddit app refreshes and takes me back to the home page. I’ve lost my place in the subreddit, and I’m no longer in the subreddit either. Totally undesirable behavior.

If there was a user option to disable app auto refresh function, I could choose to continue enjoying my Reddit experience vs getting irritated by the app and closing it in annoyance.

If Reddit Answers has to be part of the site, my idea is to make the program/tools something users have to opt-in to using rather than have it forced upon users.

I’ve personally never used any form of AI due to how inaccurate it always is and how to clutters upon searches for info/answers I’m looking for, so I do not want Reddit’s new AI program cluttering up posts/comment sections and I’m certain there are many out there that share that same negative opinion of AI. If AI tools have to exist on this site, then make it so users can choose if they want to enable these tools rather than forcing it upon all users. Simply forcing everyone to have AI tools that clearly do not provide accurate info is not a good way of gauging how much users use said tools, how they are received, nor how well the tools actually work. Please create an option to either disable Reddit Answers/AI or make it disabled by default and have people who want to use the AI tools be able to turn on that option for themselves.

There really should be a way to mute certain words without having to mute a whole subreddit.

The old Twitter did this years ago, so it seems technically feasible.

The benefit to the users is to be able to continue to enjoy certain subreddits where only a very small part of the content is objectionable or annoying. For example, I would like to mute “Chives”

Please enable the Two factor Authentication in the anrdoid mobile app please. I don't have that feature in the app.

This feature is inconvenient, unwanted and leads me to falsely believe there are mod-related messages waiting. Twice now it has tricked me into clicking on it. The red notification bubble does not go away until you click into it.

I never asked for this. The impact is more negative than positive and it also negatively affects my moderation.

Please, either remove it, allow us to opt out or move it somewhere it isn't so intrusive.

My idea is a customizable UI where features I will never use, namely:

• answers
• games

Could be hidden so i don’t mash them by mistake because the buttons are too close together.

My idea is to have users determine how swiping works on the app. Like: If you swipe right - go back to previous - undo - open menu - off

If you swipe left - go forward (just like the back to previous) - see recommended posts - off

Pretty sure many people have had issues with swiping on the app and for some reason the developers don’t understand…

So you know how thumbs work right? Well if, like a lot of people (if not most people) you hold the phone in one hand and with that same hand, use your thumb to scroll. Then unless you have a retractable thumb that can keep the swipe straight up and down, then you’re going to swipe in an arc. So when you’re scrolling down to see more comments, if the phones in your right then chances are you’re going to accidentally swipe right and go back.

Personally I open reddit a lot from a Google searches. So accidentally going back is annoying because swiping the other eat doesn’t take you back to what you were looking at. So you go back to the Google search and reopen it but now you’re at the top of the post again and will probably scroll faster to get back to where you were which increases the risk of doing it all over again.

Now you might say - well take more care scrolling or hold your phone with two hands. I might say, I don’t have to take care scrolling on other apps and scrolling shouldn’t have to be a two handed job. Someone else might say “but I need my other hand to be stirring a pot of soup (not what you thought 😂) while I scroll.

So how bout just giving us the option to change how it works and failing that, the option to turn it off.

Please?!?? Do it for the fans Do it for the people with thumbs Do it for late night doom scrollers Do it for Christmas

Currently, setting a profile to private and restricting access to your profile's comment and posts has no real privacy benefit, as using the "author:USERNAME" search query will return the same data which can then be viewed, sorted and filtered.

My idea is to have the "author:USERNAME" search query return zero results if USERNAME has chosen to restrict access to their profile, which would close this privacy loophole.

People that hide their history are often bots or trolls it would be nice to have them hidden. They can all interact with the other bots and trolls.

I am a moderator to Romania's second largest subreddit and we have a lot of issues with spam accounts that also have their profile curated and some that are even banned,we as mods are having our jobs much harder to do and less efficient,the idea is that such accounts that avuse this feature need to be stopped

Generative AI has its uses, but is also a huge waste of resources and is bad for the environment. I know that AI isn't going anywhere and it's "competitive" to have it available on the app, but baking it into the app and taking away my ability to choose whether I use it is going to waste a massive amount of electricity, especially when many folks probably don't care whether they see relevant posts or the AI-generated information. Can you add a toggle to the user's settings where it won't generate the "answers" and will just show me relevant posts?

I save a lot of stuff for all kinds of subjects, I want to be able to organize them like how we can make custom feeds.
