By, "the new app", do you mean the official app? There are many, many third party alternatives that are better.
Specifically for modding, this came out recently.
You can accomplish this pretty easily yourself.
+this
. Type youtube
in the search services box. Click the youtube icon.New public video from subscriptions
.Create Trigger
. You go back to the same screen as step 5, except this time you click +that
. Type reddit
in the search box, click the reddit icon. Then click submit a new link
.title
box and simply typing {{Title}}
- this means the title of your reddit post will match the title of the youtube post. There's other stuff you can add also (click add ingredient
to check) but they don't really make sense. Leave the link url
box as it is, enter the subreddit name in the subreddit
box. Don't include /r/ as that will break it. I.e, if you wanted to post to /r/help you'd just type help
. Click create action
. Then finish
.He's not talking about users posting to his subreddit, he's talking about imgur's reddit-looking URLs. I have no idea how it works on their end - I assume it looks at the HTTP_REFERER or something, but Imgur seems to work out which subreddit a given image belongs to, and let's you view galleries of subreddit pics.
For example, to view things on Imgur that were submitted to /r/pics, you can take a look at https://imgur.com/r/pics to see the gallery for that subreddit.
To the OP: Imgur is a separate site from reddit, so there's nothing built-in to reddit's mod tools to help you with this. The guy that runs Imgur is a redditor though, so you could always PM him - MrGrim.
I wonder if it's intentional, however, given your subreddit's content. I checked your user page and see you run a subreddit called 'TheNewJailbait' so maybe Imgur is doing some filtering based on content and/or NSFWishness.
Can add a filter to the sublist to only include "mod" which will give you a multireddit frontpage of your subs.
Can report, spam, remove, approve, marknsfw, flair. Get 5 min scans intervals on notifications for modmail.
Has a tab for modque, and collapsible modmail threads.
Easily change between account with 2 or 3 presses.
It's been my goto app for over a year and a half now.
This is exactlly what I wanted, someone to hold my hand all the way through. Those other sites make it complicated for me. I wish they could make a khan academy version of it.
I haven't used it but IFTTT might be able to do that
You can use your sub's RSS feed, like https://www.reddit.com/r/modhelp/new/.rss?limit=100 (or subscribe to it in an RSS reader)
Ah herp derp I totally missed that comment.
Newsletterbot uses SQLite3 for its database, Heroku doesn't let you use SQLite3 because it doesn't allow your code to write to local files. So if you wanted to use Newsletterbot with Heroku, you would have to rewrite the bot to use PostgreSQL, which is not overly difficult if you know what you're doing. Heroku also has some nice tutorials.
If you're not capable of rewriting the bot, you'd have to use some other hosting service (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc), which typically only offer 1 month free before requiring you to pay. I haven't really looked too in depth into their pricing models, so if they have a free tier that may be al you need. You may be able to find some kind of free hosting for a year on certain services, I believe Microsoft Developer Essentials has something like this although I don't know what kind of limitations are imposed on you by using it.
Another option without needing any coding experience would be to set up an announcement sub as erktheerk suggested, get people to sign up for IFTTT, and create a recipe for an alert every time there's a new post made to the sub.
Actually, looking at it, IFTTT doesn't support YouTube very well at all.
They don't appear to have any 'ingredients' so you can't do dynamic titles.
Here's an example recipe that could post from youtube to reddit, but as you can see, you'd have to manually enter information for each video.
Trello.com is a web service which creates a collaborative board to visualize work.
I'm not really sure the best way to describe kanban but it's something that's related to systems put into place in Toyota's manufacturing process.
I'll investigate a bit further, and try posting a new thread if I have any specific questions or to see if anyone else has investigated a similar workflow. btw the subs I mod are relatively tiny (largest one is now at 760 readers).
I use reddit is fun app (not blue or the default reddit one). It send notification for things like mod mail and announcements. It has moderation features that is easier to use than the actual reddit app and you can put it in desktop mode to do anything a PC can do.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrewshu.android.reddit
I have don't use the default Reddit app on my phone instead I use Sync when I launch the app there's specifically a section for moderation
Reddit Is Fun, a very good 3rd party Reddit app for Android.
Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/
Having a clear ruleset makes any mods life, and more importantly the active community members lives soooooo much easier. Hence report reasons are a must IMO in large communities.
As for rightful owners? u/GermainZ is on the xda.developers.com team (don't ask me their intentions.......��) and, u/frankmonza made Kustom Live Wallpaper and I made the former for shitposting, the latter on a whim.
If you want a specific bot you can ask at /r/RequestABot, or IFTTT can also do this, although IFTTT post to reddit with some delay and from my experience doesn't always work, still is an easy and accessible solution.
I don't know a way built-in with reddit, but IFTTT can do it. IFTTT is basically a web-based automation tool. It can detect there is a new post in a subreddit and then send the post or a notification to you.
Well, I suppose there is something you could do.
Keeping a searchable record of your subs content could be simply sent to a wiki page in your sub and appended each time something gets posted. You could then sticky a link / sidebar it.
Also, you could use something like https://ifttt.com to send everything to a external site like Telegram / Discord and link that too.
Good luck!
Talk to them about it. Ask them why the rule is there & why they're breaking it. Do so in modmail.
If I had to take a wild guess, that particular mod has ifttt setup to post that particular YouTuber's videos automatically, and the rule is there to prevent duplicate posts from random users.
I wrote a quick script or two to go through your posts, filter out the ones to /r/dreams, then print the contents of the selfposts. Then I copy-pasted it to a jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/jL6e2a78/1/embedded/result/
I'd clean it up some more, but I've already put a bit too much time into it. You should be able to save that page to your computer, or just copy-paste the contents into a word doc or something.
I am a reddit admin/developer, and will play a part in our decisions about user-submitted patches. IMHO if a patch is good for the community, useful to a large number of users, and doesn't hurt our infrastructure, I will be happy to consider it and help you get it into the codebase. Subreddit discovery is huge, and absolutely belongs in the main reddit site. I'm really glad reseph started this discussion, and am looking forward to seeing where it leads.
I just found this, and thought others would find it useful. I was doing heavily formatted posts in the small reddit editor. Even with the RES preview, it got pretty tiresome. I also always worried about accidently closing the tab.
This lets you edit Markdown on your desktop, in a large window with a live preview. I've found it really convenient so far. It's free.
I know not everyone has a mac, so I googled and found this one for windows. But I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for it.
> type: submission
> ~title (regex): \d+\s[.+]\s#.+\s-\s.+

> comment: |
> Hello! Your post was removed because it does not follow the posting format required for the subreddit. Please copy and paste this format " Age [x4x] #City - Title " and resubmit your post . Please see this post for the guidelines. If you feel this message is in error please contact the mods. Thanks!
If you put that regex code into https://regexr.com/ it will tell you what all it means. It's essentially enforces posts to look like this "22 [r4r] #city - title". The ~ next to title means that instead to take action if the action would trigger with the title looking like that, the action triggers when it doesn't conform to the title rule, and then it also leaves that comment on the removed post.
It's one thing we use in /r/SocalR4R to make things more orderly.
I recently needed to do something similar (remove all my fb comments on everything ever) which could only be done manually.
I downloaded a mouse macro recorder-player, then recorded me clicking the motions, and set it to maximum speed. It got trough years of facebook comments in about 30 minutes.
I used this one because it has a free trial.
I used to use FF mobile for Toolbox and while it works, it's an utter lag fest compared to using extensions in Kiwi

IMO subject of the submission contains fighting words - "dishonest, lying cheats" - and I would remove it for that reason.
We don't know what happened, we've kinda got both sides of the story, but I don't think we can tell from the scant details we've been given that NordVPN are genuinely scammers and rip off artists.
I think readers can make up their own minds whether the provider's explanation is adequate and their intent genuine, but I think the submission headline is loaded - it tells the reader what to expect, instead of priming them to judge the events for themselves.
If I called the mods of most any subreddit "dishonest, lying cheats", I'd expect to get my submission liable to removal for editorialising.
It's a 3-month old submission, so I'm surprised to think that many people will see it, but a "no censorship" policy is pretty much inviting them to spam your subreddit with positive reviews. They can do that by asking satisfied customers to submit reviews, or they can make fake reviews (and if done subtly, you'd probably never detect the latter). IMO that they haven't done this already shows some positive character.
I think Reddit Mobile should be enough, but feel free to check the unofficial apps too. Some say they are better than the original.
Slide for Reddit has the most mod tools out of all Android reddit apps, including cool features like 'remove with reason'.

I have one similar to this one, but I use pushbullet to send the notifications since it adds them to a list. I also have one that adds every post to a new line in a gsheet.
I'm very new to programming, started a few weeks ago and it's tough. Anyway - Here's the RSS I used, it came up a very simple page and I thought that it was to easy to add for the automation YT-Reddit Tool. Could you confirm that this is the correct one?
According to WolframAlpha, reddit started 29 April 2005, so there should be a few folks out there with a six year badge, but I haven't seen any.
If you’re worried about your work seeing the NSFW traffic on your phone through your network activity, you can use a VPN to encrypt your traffic.
There are some good options for VPNs at (https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/).
VPNs are good to use for multiple reasons, but this is one perfect scenario.
Also, you can turn off thumbnails while browsing on your mobile device so that nothing inappropriate simply appears on your screen while you’re scrolling.
These are suggestions to work around the current system, because even if they do make the changes that you’ve suggested in the future... it will likely not happen soon.
>Brigading is when a group of users, generally outsiders to the targeted subreddit, "invade" a specific subreddit and flood it with posts, comments or downvotes, in order to troll, manipulate, or interfere with the targeted community.
Yes, this is like brigading, except the target is a blog, genderdesk.wordpress.com. Both the main contributors to that sub, Abd Lomax and Graaf Statler, are banned from the blog, and were also banned from r/RealWikiInAction for inappropriate content involving minors. https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043075352-Do-Not-Post-Sexual-or-Suggestive-Content-Involving-Minors
Actually, you can use an IFTTT "recipe" to log every new post on a sub to a google spreadsheet.
There are several "ingredients" on the reddit ifttt trigger that you can choose to have logged, but a couple that might interest you would be - username & content.
We use this on a sub where we need to monitor reposts within a given window of time. Something we couldn't effectively do before being able to log and reference old posts that may have been deleted to circumvent our repost rule.
Hope that helps... also, ifttt freaking rocks for a whole lota other reasons, you should really check it out!
If you don't have a very big subreddit, you could do this by hand. I manually count submitter karma once a month for my reddit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjZmeQdMplTUdHQ0bDFuTmVvckY3eEtyUkNya3lYaGc#gid=0
Edit: Also on your link to your subreddit, you have added a "." at the end to the link.
Thanks u/316nuts u/Ass_Explosion and u/appropriate-username
I found the URL that is causing the block. It is seeking alpha.
Any idea how I check why it's being blocked?
Thanks again.
That would probably be very difficult, I personally use BeFunky for all of my subreddit banners. It is very simple, free, allows for high resolution, and has no watermarks. I don't think it is even possible or tangible to do it on any phone at all lol. I would recommend using the desktop site, and following the basic rule of thumb of making the banner 16x wider than it is tall. I used to know the exact banner pixel ratio, but it has gotten very complicated and unclear with the new reddit layout so you'll have to do your own research and make many adjustments after submitting it in mod tools.
If it's letting you save it should work. Try refreshing if you haven't.
Sometimes things work best in chrome but IDK if that's relevant here. Are you the only mod or can another try?
If it persists maybe report on r/bugs
I can check your banner if you want and test it on one of my test subs, pop it up here https://imgbb.com/ and share the link.
Yes, by design in my case. I have a bot which updates a megathread with new links
Another user is editing his post but only adding a mediafire links
Would it be possible to just get mine unblocked from the spam filter? I can just tell the other guy to make his post all at once and not edit it.
can we forget that's not the point? point is they are much worse mods trying to spam people right off the bat: https://www.screencast.com/t/fw1ee8NxtpSWe never had ads on it like they do, all their subs are part of a network of subs made only to promote bovada which is illegal under the WireAct
it's not legit though if they use it to spam immediately, especially illegal offshore casinos that rip people off. Our subreddit warned people about these which steal peoples money and they partner with them: https://www.screencast.com/t/fw1ee8NxtpS
NB: a solution that provides a CSS hide/show control from /u/MeLoN_DO. Fiddle.
Heh, it's exactly why I didn't fill in Google form because I use RiF primarily.
However I think there's gonna be a overlap of other mods in the two location subreddits I help mod from mods on the team who got the message.
And as a anecdote? I recently set up a location based Telegram channel that uses users location and I'll tell you now.
90% spam and peeps looking for a fuck.
I think I'll pass ;)
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that. I mod two subreddits. One uses css and has a wiki, the other is just default out-of-the-box. The default one does have a 'subreddit settings' link, the other one does not.
The one with the wiki, there used to be a link at the bottom of the moderation tools box on the right that would say something like 'edit wiki pages' (the link isn't there anymore) and when you clicked that it would take you to a wiki page listing, and sidebar was one of them, then when you clicked on sidebar, it would have edit, view source and history at the top. Now, I can still get there, but it doesn't have edit at the top.
I can still get to the page I used to use (https://www.reddit.com/r/gonewildaudio/wiki/pages/) but when I click on the sidebar page, it now just has View History and Talk on it (I don't think it used to have Talk there, either) and no edit option.
As far as I understand you're only allowed to edit the CSS of a subreddit, which means no iframes or scripts. The spot where you can add text to the sidebar is text-only, so about the only hting you could really do is put the link to the map you want to show like this.
Thanks. My issue is that I'm on a Mac and so if this is PngOptimizer then I wouldn't be able to run it anyway. Unless it's compatible with Wine etc. But, yes, if you're looking for lossless compression that would be the way to go.
You can resize images on ezgif, which you should be able to access through your browser on your phone. If you can access Reddit, you should be able to get to ezgif.
But that aside, you can also make a request at r/BannerRequest. There are helpful users there who create both banners and icons.
That's a cool banner. I made one like this: r/depthmaps.
I used CSS on the old
and aPNG files with the new.
I created it as individual frames in r/GIMP ( you could use any graphics editor ), then used a webapp for some frame cross fading and making it an aPNG.
Also see a r/tall_BANNER for a banner dimension recommendation I did. It will give an example of some basic CSS and the results. Also it is one banner design for both the old and new. I think the banner files sizes are 500 kb max for the old and 5 mb max for the new.
You can go to ezgif and convert it to an APNG (animated png file), and it will then get a .png extension. Then Reddit will accept it. You still have to watch the file size, though, I think the max is 512 kb.
it takes apng, I use https://ezgif.com/apng-maker to convert my images / gifs
an example is r/depthmaps ( i screwed up by using transparent background, so it's best viewed on the computer rather than mobile )
you only have a limit of 5 mb though; so you might have to wait for reddit to implement css on new to get what you desire.
As far as image editors go I recommend Paint .NET, which falls right in the middle of MS PAINT and Adobe Photoshop in terms of simplicity and functionality.
There is also this - https://pixlr.com/editor/, which is essentially a free, online version of Photoshop.
Other than that I'd say /u/creesch has got you covered for now.
Wouldn't know about any apps, but you can probably do it with https://www.photopea.com/ or any other kind of free photoshop program.
If you're having trouble getting the image to be the correct size 256x256 and you don't mind sharing the image you want I can resize it for you.
Not that I know of but that would be a really useful tool.
I haven't tried it here but I use Statcounter on my tumblrs and it works surprisingly well. However, I don't know if it's against any of Reddit's rules, and it might be a good idea to check before trying it on your subreddit.
I see inconsistent use of different variants of border-radius in that file. border-radius
works for Firefox 4 and recent versions of Chrome. -moz-border-radius
is required for Firefox 3.6, and I've added back code to the validator to allow that and its kin. Your tab styles only currently employ border-radius
. See: http://caniuse.com/#search=border-radius
Right -- rolling back within git is what I meant however.
Main advantages:
The list really goes on.
This would obviously be pertinent to people seeking collaboration tools with a mod team of 2 or more I'd assume, but you'd still be able to get the features if you were modding your own subreddit by yourself. For example for us over at /r/bengals, we have 4 people total that touch the CSS files. Obvious reasons, this whole thing would make sense.
Does that make sense?
Yes, reddit produces an RSS feed for most pages, just add .rss at the end. For example the feed for all new posts in your sub can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/isthislegit/new/.rss
You can then subscribe to that feed:
In truth there's a limit to what you can do as redditors are using a wide variety of different methods to view your sub, including third party apps. So for example I use Baconreader on my phone and with that I don't see banners or any styling of the upvote and downvote buttons.
Having said that you can style the buttons in old reddit via CSS (and possibly in new?) but be aware only some redditors will see it.
You don't mention anything about apps in your post...The easiest way to do it is via a browser, most apps have limited mod functionality. A cursory search of the sub will back me up on this.
If you won't/can't log into reddit via a mobile browser, then perhaps you could use Modsoup - nb it's only for modding (not browsing) and it's still in beta.
Thanks, I wouldn't say they're harrassing me about it - yet. This only the second time since the incident they've brought it up.
And I definitely don't see that post doing any harm either. It doesn't show up in any search engine search for "NordVPN", and it's completely buried in the subreddit now too.
Usually in the URL you will see something like this, It's almost always a 20 after the name in the "tag" parameter.
&tag=affinamehere-20
For example:
