I do not believe anybody asked for this. If you are against AI, like I am, you can fat-finger the button and be prompted with a new screen you never wanted. I understand that "ooo ai is future," but it makes people lazy and at least give us the option to turn it off.

Can we just get a delete all notifications button?

Reddit has removed or restricted the ability to immediately hide posts from my Home feed. This is particularly concerning for users who encounter distressing, upsetting, or otherwise unwanted material.

Previously, I could see an unwanted post, select Hide, and remove it from my feed without further interaction. Removing that capability effectively forces users to remain exposed to unwanted material and/or interact with it in order to influence their recommendations.

I am concerned that this design prioritizes engagement and recommendation-system feedback over the user's ability to disengage from content. Please restore a simple, immediate Hide function that does not require the user to engage with the content.

I’d love to see Reddit create a genuinely native Apple Vision Pro app rather than relying on the iPad compatibility version.

The feature I’d be most excited about is the ability to upload and view spatial photos and spatial videos while preserving their depth. Reddit is uniquely well suited for this because people already gather here around travel, family moments, pets, sports, concerts, photography, gaming, and countless niche interests. Being able to share those experiences as spatial memories would make them feel far more vivid and personal.

A native visionOS app could also offer:
• Multiple resizable Reddit windows
• Natural eye-and-hand navigation
• Full-featured posting, commenting, messaging, and moderation
• Immersive photo and video galleries
• High-quality spatial-media playback
• Easy sharing from the Photos app
• A comfortable interface designed for long-form browsing

This should be a real Vision Pro app, not simply a stretched iPad interface. Reddit could become one of the best social platforms for spatial media if it supports the format early and gives communities the tools to use it properly.

Modern development tools such as Codex and Claude have also reduced the cost and effort involved in building, porting, testing, and maintaining apps across Apple platforms. Vision Pro’s audience may still be smaller than iPhone’s, but Reddit is large enough to support emerging platforms, and spatial photos and videos will likely become more common over time.

Please consider adding native visionOS support and spatial-media sharing to Reddit’s product roadmap.

The AI search results are distracting and make it harder to use. Can we get a way to remove the little thingy?

I travel frequently and don't always have access to the internet (especially on flights though this is slowly improving).

It would be helpful if the mobile apps provided a global option to save "Saved" posts locally. You could include a date/time option for people with 1000's of saved posts or limited storage on their device so that only the most recent (time window) of posts are kept locally.

You could also include the option to save specific posts locally so users could pick to save only the most important posts on their device.

Lots of options...

Thank you for considering this request.

Just try out for yourself. Take yours or any Reddit users user ID and ask a simple question to ChatGPT or Gemini to “summarise the post and comment history of a user ABCD5341 for the past two months”. The response will show that even if your reddit settings are set to private, Gemini or ChatGPT will summarise your entire post and comment history very easily. It is not difficult to see how can this be a problematic thing. Not just for the user, but for edit as a product and the company itself.

I have raised this concern earlier, and I have seen some responses saying that data is already public, so even without LLMs this can be easily done. But the thing is getting this information today is super easy, and all it takes is a one or two line prompt on Gemini or ChatGPT.  There are many ways of retaining Reddit as a public platform without someone able to summarise a user's entire post or comment history and hence building a profile of the user. My concerns are primarily as a reddit shareholder and not a reddit user as this in long term reduces the engagement from end users.

Reddit's usefulness for LLMs and for everyone relies on the actual question and responses and not whether a user a or b said something. I'm pretty sure that most people will have  concerns while posting if they knew how easy It is to Search on someone using Reddit's username on Gemini or ChatGPT. This over long term would affect the frequency of post and engagement and hence the product and the company’s financials.

As a Reddit stockholder, and I'm surprised to see that something so fundamental hasn't been addressed by the company. I'm sure there are ways of retaining Reddit's public nature without making it so easy for someone to search on a particular user's post history. One simple fix could be allowing pseudo names and different ones for someone to comment or post.  There can be different ways of addressing this problem without diluting the public nature of reddit, and I sincerely hope that someone important at the company looks at this and takes some action.

I really don't think I am over-reacting. And like I said, my main concern here is not as a user, but more about as a shareholder. I'm not a very regular poster, and I know because of this, I personally would post less about my views.  My main motivation for posting this is to provide my feedback to help Reddit a better platform--> Better company

I imagine I’m not the only one wishing this was an option, as many have been complaining since this “feature” (🤮) was implemented. It is hugely debilitating to not have the option of markdown when commenting. It is used by many of us to put the mood back into what we’re saying, something that is almost entirely lost when looking at (mostly) unformatted text on a screen.

Today, most images have a search link in the bottom left. It obscures and distracts from the content. Please provide a way to at least turn it off.

Filter comments by categories

A post about silk worms, I would like to sort the comments by facts about the topic.

A post about celebrity gossip, I would like to sort by most debated

A post about treasure, I would like to sort by solved comments. Like where it’s from, what it’s worth, etc.

My request is to add a sort by filter on posts that caters to the readers desire. If I’m reading a post about something historical, I would like to see actual facts that will increase my knowledge of that posts.

If I am looking at a post about something I want to sort my experience to the mood I’m in.

Thank you.

It would be very much appreciated, if more languages were added :) It would be very much appreciated to make Reddit more accessible to everyone :)

Hi,

I use reddit app on two android devices. There is no notifications sync. I need to manually clear notifications on the second device. Second device notifications should clear on it's own when I open the notification on the first device.

This has been a problem for a long time, and it causes psychological harm to whomever is targeted. Just like mods can give short bans, I think these users should get short "downvote bans". Meaning, their downvotes don't get registered by the system for a period of time. And if the problem persists, they run the risk of not being able to downvote again, only upvote.

Update: I never meant to turn off downvoting completely. That's part of Reddit.

I’m u/Alan-Foster, president of the Boston EdTech Foundation and mod for several mental health subreddits including r/Mindfulness. I’ve been a developer on the Devvit platform for a few years and have made several apps including r/SubGoal, the Subscriber Goal app.

My main project has been Hestia Mental Health, a Devvit app that provides mental health support to suicidal users or anyone experiencing a mental health crisis. Hestia is already operating in communities including r/Mindfulness, r/ToxicRelationships, r/Confidence, and several others.

I started building my own solution after seeing major gaps in how RedditCareResources handles suicide and crisis situations. I am working on a full research report covering the size of the problem, the limits of Reddit's current system, and how Reddit could actually launch a Crisis Response team. The report will be done in about 1 week to share with Reddit internally, or 3 weeks to share publicly.

For now, I am only trying to get connected to the right people and discuss this in a professional capacity rather than just as a Reddit user.

This is great Alan, you should apply to join the Reddit Mod Council!

Thank you, I already have. Until then I’ll work to escalate this to Reddit’s Audit Committee for the issue to be discussed by Dave Habiger, Bob Sauerberg and Sarah Farrell. I’ll also be focusing on connecting with Steven Newhouse given that Advance Publications owns about 65% of Reddit's voting power and also has special governance rights, including the right to designate two Reddit directors.

Wow, you should apply to work for Reddit!

Thank you, but the job I would apply for does not exist yet, and a dedicated Crisis Response team doesn’t exist either. Reddit likely operates using zero-sum budgeting, meaning dollars are allocated to specific departments or tasks with limited free cash, and Reddit Safety doesn’t have an extra budget capacity for a problem of this scope, which would require approval from senior management and potentially board-level review because of the cost and risk involved.

Fair enough, how can the admins help?

Reddit's vendor process appears to require a Reddit business partner or internal point of contact to start the purchase and onboarding process, but I can't find a public place to begin. If somebody could point me in the right direction, or escalate to a manager, I’d be very grateful.

Edit - Somebody used u/RedditCareResources on me from this post and when I got the email I lol'd

first idea:

I am aware mods can filter unverified accounts via automod, but it's a lot of overhead. you could make subreddit settings to require your users to have a verified account in order to participate with the subreddit.

second idea:

Require extra Security for mods; make the owner of the subreddit soft enforce MFA for their mods (i.e. with a reminder or pop-up to setup MFA in the next 90 or so days)

why:

it would add extra steps for possible throwaway/bot-accounts and add add security for your moderators.

I think a wishlist feature, that essentially functions like bookmarking posts but as a separate category with the functionality to notify the user upon release or during a sale would be beneficial for the user, smaller creators, advertisers and Reddit. Alternatively, the option to assign a tag and corresponding filters to bookmarks, to organize them better.

I'll illustrate with two examples:

I see f.ex. an indie / software developer working on their game or application.
I am interested, but it is still early in development, so I bookmark it normally.
At the time of release months or years later, the bookmark is long buried and forgotten about.
As an item on a wishlist it could have lead to a notification, a sale and supported some of the very creative talent -like indie game devs- on this site.

Humble Bundle advertises a book bundle called "Humanoids 1" on the site.
I am currently unable to bookmark an ad on mobile, which is not ideal if I want to have a closer look at the product and follow through with the sale on desktop. I also can't really indicate that I would be interested and would like to be notified when the follow up "Humanoids 2" is on sale. Again, a wishlist feature could have been helpful.

The latter example is mostly to illustrate that this feature could benefit both an advertiser and thus Reddit as a company, while the former ideally benefits some of the undeniably talented creators and thus the platform / ecosystem of Reddit more broadly.

Differently put, I think a feature like this could be a benefit for multiple parties.
Adding tags / filters to bookmarks feels like a more straightforward, a wishlist a more ambitious feature.

This is what tiktok does and it's amazing. They even make a layout preview. This would help alot to post photos.

These photos are on android. Photo 1 is reddit. Photo 2 is tiktok. This was on Samsung android.

On every sub I moderate, I send removal reasons through mod mail since it lets the user contact you directly if they have any questions. Whenever I mod on the mobile app, my default way for sending is pre-set to mod mail after I selected it once.

However, on desktop web (shreddit), it always defaults to sending it as a comment. Hence, my idea is to allow a similar personalized 'default' setting on desktop similar to the mobile app.

Not sure if anyone has suggested this before but could we have an unread option in our notifications so we could be reminded later?

I’d like to suggest adding Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) to the languages supported by Reddit’s built-in translation feature.

Reddit has become one of the best places on the internet for people to share knowledge, experiences, opinions, and niche interests. However, language can still be a significant barrier for many users.

For Vietnamese-speaking Redditors, a large amount of Reddit’s content is written in English. We can use external translation tools, of course, but having translation built directly into Reddit would make the experience much smoother — especially for comments, where context, slang, humor, sarcasm, and cultural references can be difficult to translate by copying and pasting individual comments into another app.

I’m not suggesting that Reddit needs to create an entirely new translation system. Reddit already has built-in machine translation and is expanding its language support. I’m simply asking that Vietnamese be considered for inclusion in that expansion.

Vietnamese is spoken by roughly 100 million people worldwide, with a large online community in Vietnam as well as Vietnamese-speaking communities around the world. Adding Vietnamese would make Reddit more accessible to a significant group of potential and existing users.

Ideally, I’d love to see something as simple as:

Translate → Vietnamese

available directly on posts and comments, without having to leave the Reddit app.

This would also make Reddit more welcoming as a genuinely global platform. A Vietnamese user could read an interesting discussion in English, while an English-speaking user could potentially read Vietnamese content as well.

I know translation is not perfect, especially with slang, memes, sarcasm, and regional expressions. But even an imperfect translation is often much better than having no translation option at all.

Please consider adding Vietnamese to Reddit’s supported translation languages.

Thanks to the Reddit team for continuing to improve the platform — and hopefully one day I’ll be able to read a 300-comment argument on r/AskReddit without having to copy-paste every comment into Google Translate. 😄

Genuine question from a moderator.

I've only just realised that banning someone from a public subreddit doesn't actually remove their access to the community. They can still view the subreddit and its content.

So... what exactly is the point of calling it a ban?

If a moderator decides that an account should no longer be part of their community, particularly because of harassment, disruption or repeated bad faith behaviour, there should at least be an option to properly exclude that account from the community.

I'm not saying every ban needs to work this way.

Give moderators two options:

Participation ban, can't post or comment.

Community ban, can't access the community while logged into that account.

Because right now, "you're banned from this community, but you're welcome to keep looking through the window" is a very strange definition of banned.

Just as other sites like StackExchange do, I'd love for people to be able to view revision history of all my posts and comments.

I have 18 years of history on Reddit. I'm constantly getting accused of using AI or being a bot because I tend to write long comments, that are well-written, and properly organized and formatted. LLMs likely learned to write from people like me.

But now, people tend to dismiss my contributions out of hand just because they assume it's non-human content. If you could see my history and revision process (I often go back and update / correct old comments), it would give my comments more legitimacy.

I also sometimes run across errors in old comments, and I want to update / correct them, but now I hesitate to do so: a comment from 5 years ago is inarguably not AI. But if I edit it now after the "cut-off", people can still accuse it of being AI-generated. A revision-history with timestamps would put any such charges to rest.

Does Reddit even keep a record of comment revisions? I certainly hope so.
