Link share no longer populates the title field, at least with some links

Upvotes

I know that everything on Reddit is dependent on which platform you're on, and I use mobile web.

The link share auto-populate feature, meaning the one where you paste into the link posting field so it automatically populates a title into a title field, has been flaky for quite a while. This is actually a very useful feature for people who forward a lot of music because an artist/title kind of thing can be pretty lengthy so it's great when read it automatically populates it from the link, which is pretty standard for the internet these days anyway.

For a really long time this feature wasn't cooperating with YouTube from mobile web- the only thing it would populate from the title is the word "YouTube-" (this seems to be fixed right now for me as I successfully posted a link without without having to fix the title manually)

Right now it seems to be broken for other link types. I tried to post continent from a couple of independent websites and the title Auto populate no longer works.

I have had 3 users filtered by Reddit for high accuracy ban evasion. But yet there is no option when I go to report the user or comment. Do you have to do it another way now?

Admin Replied Users keep saying my subreddit is categorized wrong

3 Upvotes

r/lakeplacid had no mods and after I submitted a request, reddit appointed me a mod and I revamped the subreddit from talking about the 1999 horror movie to the tourist town in New York. That's because 95% post of the posts were people asking about the town, not the movie.

Users keep saying the sub is in the horror movie category, but I'm not seeing that anywhere myself and I'm not seeing any kind of category, tags, etc I can set.

Is this all automated by the algorithm? Is there anything I can do? E.g. delete all the old posts talking about a crocodile?

Admin Replied Crossposting in the same subreddit?

We've been noticing immediate reposts of original posts in our sub, where someone will post, then a couple seconds later, the same person will crosspost that same post, but in the same subreddit. Trying to figure out if this a bug or if it's intentional.

9 Upvotes

We've had a banned user hunting for every off-subreddit mention of our sub to accuse our modteam of a variety of things.

Is this a violation of any rule? In the past, our subreddit (activism focused) has largely relied on discussions in other subreddits to grow.

Mod Answered How to remove a blue link at top of subreddit?

1 Upvotes

My subreddit has a blue link with “Places in North America” How do I remove it? My Subreddit is about events in Calgary. Not sure I’m allowed to actually share the subreddit here, but I’m sure you could find it if you look at my profile feed. That link seems to redirect people away from my subreddit and isn’t relevant.

Admin Replied Hey admins! Can we maybe not hide when people are being targeted?

124 Upvotes

So our top post yesterday in outfits shows 4 crossposts.

It doesn't reveal where the crossposts are too though. Instead it says they are to "private or sensitive communities". I can see using PRAW that one of those was to a porn sub, but I can't see the others.

Do you have any idea how scary it is for women to find out that their personal photos are being shared and discussed somewhere and they can't even see where that is?

It seriously freaks out posters. Please let them know where their content is being shared to, or disable the ability to share to those locations altogether.

This is super, super creepy and would freak out any woman posting her photos. Someone really should have realized this when it was set up like this. Please ask some of the other women on the admin teams how they'd feel in this situation.

THIS IS NOT OK

Request for review – r/PuzzelTalk shows Unreviewed Content warning

0 Upvotes

Subject: Request for Manual Review of r/PuzzelTalk – Unreviewed Content Warning

Hello Reddit Admin Team,

I hope you're doing well.

I am the owner and moderator of r/PuzzelTalk, a public community dedicated exclusively to Dutch puzzles, quizzes, and educational word games.

I am writing to request a manual review of our subreddit because visitors have been consistently receiving the "Unreviewed Content" warning when accessing the community through a mobile web browser. This has been happening for approximately two months and is preventing many users from accessing the subreddit without installing the Reddit app.

Before contacting you, I carefully reviewed the community settings and confirmed the following:

  • The subreddit is Public.
  • NSFW / 18+ is disabled.
  • The community contains no adult, explicit, violent, or sensitive content.
  • The content consists entirely of family-friendly puzzles, quizzes, and educational discussions.
  • Community recommendations and discoverability are enabled.

Despite these settings, the warning continues to appear for visitors, significantly affecting the community's growth and accessibility.

If there is any issue with the subreddit that requires my attention, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Otherwise, I kindly request that the Unreviewed Content status be reviewed and removed if the community meets Reddit's requirements.

Subreddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PuzzelTalk/

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Moderator of r/PuzzelTalk

i had a user with a ai summary as follows:

>Frequent contributions to NSFW and fetish subreddits. Recent activity includes general discourse in various communities, utilizing short, occasionally cryptic comments. No direct involvement in [my sub] content noted.

however, visiting the profile showed nothing of the sort. just average sfw posts and comments. is it possible that i am unable to see the nsfw for some reason? or is the ai overview just high?

Question - what plug in/bot does this?

7 Upvotes

I had a question. I constantly get people who love to make false AI claims about everything. I even have a sub rule against it. However, I was on another sub this morning, and I saw the following mod comment on a comment they removed, and I was wondering how this is automated (see below).

I asked them how they were doing this, thru mod mail... But, I was told it was a secret.

I do have some plug ins for my sub. And, I looked at the ones they had, but I didn't see anything obvious. I don't think this is an automod function, is it?

If anyone makes an AI accusation comment, I would LOVE to have this automated, instead of having to do it manually everytime. Anyone have an idea?

This was their auto reply:

Rule 7:

Your comment has been removed due to flagging the post as AI without providing sufficient reason to do so. Please identify the specific reasons you think this is AI in order that the Mods can review.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Mod Topics Your request has been granted. Now what?

40 Upvotes

Hi! TheOpusCroakus here! Stopping by to talk about Redditrequest! More specifically, I’m here to talk about what you can do after you’ve been granted a sub through Redditrequest!

You found the sub. You made the request. Your request was granted! Congratulations! As the new mod, where do you start? Good news! There’s a lot to choose from! Bad news! There’s a lot to choose from! Let’s take a look at some areas you may want to get to sooner rather than later. 

  • There is this awesome downloadable guide to reviving a community that is truly an amazing resource for this sort of thing.  
  • And if you’re completely new to moderating, you’ll also want to check out r/newmods. You can even do that while you wait for your request to be reviewed.
  • If the sub has been abandoned for a while, there’s a decent chance that there is some spam or off-topic posts in the feed (which may have been why you wanted to request the sub in the first place). Doing some cleanup is a great place to start. You can also check for things like old pinned posts from previous mods that you probably want to remove. (You can replace them with your own pinned post if you’d like!) You may also want to take a look through the banned user list and decide how you’re going to handle that. (Sometimes, folks get a little heavy handed!)
  • Check your mod queue and your mod mail and see what’s going on in there. It could be pretty interesting! 
  • Review the community rules. Are there any? Lol If not, you get to start from scratch and create new rules to help your community run smoothly. If there are already rules in place, do you want to keep them? Clarify them? Ditch them altogether? The choice is yours! You can read more about adding Community Rules here
    • Fun little side note about rules: When the rules are positive, it tends to encourage positive engagement. 
  • You can style the community however you want! Make it yours so that it really stands out! Add a banner! Add an icon! Add a description! There’s a whole section in the Help Center on Community Styling!
  • Make a welcome post! Let the community know that there’s a new sheriff in town! A welcome post is a great way for you to introduce yourself, but it’s also a great way to highlight new rules or remind folks of old rules that were or were not being followed and/or enforced. 
  • Depending on the size and activity level of the sub that you have just taken over, you’ll want to consider if you need additional moderators. Maybe you know someone who would be a good fit. Or maybe, there’s someone in the community who is already super helpful and would be a good mod. 
  • Speaking of help with moderation, consider some bots! There are a lot of Devvit apps out there that really make life a lot easier when they’re on your mod team. 

For those of you who have taken over a sub through Redditrequest, where did you start? What sort of things did you do after being given the keys to the kingdom? Which Devvit apps do you recommend mods install?

Admin Replied Do filtered comments get delivered to notifications?

8 Upvotes

If a users leaves a comment that gets filtered by the harassment filter (or by any other Safety or Automod filter), does the comment still get delivered to the notifications box of the post/comment that the comment is being left under? I’m a moderator of multiple communities that are frequently subjected to harassment and hate comments, so I’d like to know if this is something I would need to look out for when taking steps to protect my communities.

Edit: It seems from the responses that the harassment filter runs after notifications, not before. As such, if any Admins see this, please take into consideration the need to fix this.

Admin Replied Not response in modmail

Long story short -

I submitted something to this subs modmail in relation to a request I made.

I saw that you needed to respond to the bot if it was unable to provide clarification to your answer.

I never received an auto response from any bot on the message I sent. I sent it earlier this morning.

Is the helper bot always supposed to provide an initial response or should I just practice more patience?

Admin Replied Now that logging in is required to use old reddit how do I tell if someone I need to action has a hidden history?

0 Upvotes

One of the hallmarks of trolls and other malefactors is that they hide their history, and I take that into consideration when actioning someone's content and deciding if a ban is warranted. Starting today reddit now requires logging in to access old reddit, and the way I used to check to see if someone hides their account was to look at their account in an incognito window.

Secondary to that, when I see [unavailable] outside of the subs I moderate that indicates someone has blocked me. I'll use an incognito window to see who blocked me so that I can block them in return. After all, blocking someone prevents them from seeing your content completely, but you can still see their content any time you want by simply clicking the little plus symbol next to their comment. In the interest of fairness, I block these users since if I can't see their content, they shouldn't be able to see my content either.

Thirdly, because of a glitch in reddit that hit a couple years ago I can no longer log in with my daily-carry phone. Reddit simply won't accept any login attempts. When I'm out and about I'd like to check in on my subs to see if there's anything I'll need to attend to when I get back home. I use old reddit because new reddit is completely unusable on my phone. It eats up massive amounts of my very limited data plan, it's incredibly slow, and it's glitchy. I cannot install any apps on the phone.

If I'm not able to get any workarounds on the first two issues I don't see any real way to continue functioning as a moderator, and the second issue makes it functionally impossible to be on reddit at all due to the way it give people access to my content while denying me the equal ability to even know who they are that denied me access to theirs.

Thank You Admins For This Fantastic Safety Feature! Reddit Now Notifies You When Your Post Is Reposted!

99 Upvotes

In the course of moderating, I have heard so many horror stories of users having their post reposted in disturbing ways and having no idea about it. Many of them wish they were alerted when this happened, I wanted to help them, but I couldn’t. Now suddenly Reddit has this as a built-in feature! That is really amazing.

Now users will know if their fashion post was reposted to a porn sub. Or if their post was maliciously posted to another sub! This is really wonderful. I took a screenshot in the comments, but I wanted to really applaud this change.

FYI I posted something in TikTokcringe earlier today and I received my first ever repost notification!

Screen shot below.

Update: so I actually got two more cross post notifications after the first one for the same post, which means if there are multiple, they will get a notif for every one!

Admin Replied Has anyone had Reddit’s sitewide filters remove company-related posts?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I moderate a subreddit where our user have been trying to share posts related to our company, but the posts appear to be getting removed by Reddit rather than by our mod team.

We have checked our mod actions and rules, and as far as we can tell, the removals are happening at the sitewide level. We are not sure whether Reddit is flagging the company name, domain, logo, QR code, image, account, or the promotional wording.

Have any other moderators run into this with legitimate business, event, or organization-related posts? Is there any way for moderators to determine what is triggering the filter or direct the user to the correct place to request a review?

We want to make sure the content follows Reddit’s rules, but we also want to avoid telling the user to keep reposting and potentially worsen the spam signal.

Thanks for any guidance.

So recently im being attacked by multiple individuals posting their content in a subreddit that purposefully ignores any reports i make and lets them keep making more of said content? I did report such content, but i cant report all due to possible rate limits.

What im wondering tho is: This cant be a solution? There are massive subreddits or other individual with massive communities, so i wonder what do they do? Whats a good way to handle it? Ignore it?

If anyone has experience with this topic i would be very curious.

Reddit doesn't show me any posts with a specific flair, even if there are posts with said flair.

1 Upvotes

Okay, so, this seems to only be a problem in one of the subreddits I mod, no other subreddits ive visited have had this problem for me;

I mod a subreddit where I have to check posts with a specific flair (that indicates it is an application) and then manually look through them, to either approve or deny them, but a bit ago (like a month or so), Reddit has been showing me the following error whenever I click a flair to filter for that flair only:

(Images arent allowed; this is a copy n pasted): "This community doesn't have any posts yet - Make one and get this feed started."

..but, there are posts with that flair. Im.. literally staring a post with that flair, and Reddit tells me there arent any posts with it?

what can i do? Its extremely annoying to have to filter through EVERY POST just to get to the ones that have the specific flair.

any help is appreciated, thank you.
