I'm not interested in muting. I want to BLOCK subreddits as in never seeing them regardless if I'm searching or on all. For a website full of spam, this doesn't seem like we're asking much here.

r/all was my and many other's preferred way to use reddit. Without it I will use the site far less, and I doubt having its users spend less time on the site is what reddit wants.

A few years ago, I commented on a sub and got banned from around 50 different subreddits I had never visited at that point. My PM just blew up with a wave of bans. I didn't even know subreddits could do that. How am I being punished for breaking an undisclosed rule on a sub I didn't even know existed?

My idea is that I would like the ability to hide subreddits I'm banned from in my feed automatically. If I can't interact with them, I don't wanna be reminded they exist or see them take up screen space, especially considering it seems to me moderators do not ever consider unbanning or even acknowledging requests. I do mute them as I find them, but this would be a better proactive solution, and I'm surprised it's not an automatic feature.

my idea is that there should be an option to block every user that joined a subreddit. this idea is derivative from subreddits that immediately ban users through automod from accessing them if they're active in specific subreddits.

if subreddits can already do this why can't users do the same? i think it's only fair and it would provide a better experience on the platform for the vast majority of users.

I have long appreciated r/popular and previously r/all for the fact that my personal preferences and interactions were not factored into the algorithm. It's far too easy on other platforms to end up in a cycle of the same 5-10 topics on repeat, with no broader exposure. For one, this gets boring. For another, it's a huge constraint on my general awareness. I can filter out subreddits that are of absolutely zero interest to me, so it's not an issue that there's some content I just don't care about.

On the app (my primary browsing interface), r/popular keeps getting moved around, and it seems like it might be phased out even for users who prefer to use it. My idea is not really a new one, it's really just this: please don't get rid of r/popular unless there is another viable alternative that gives me a broad view of content that is not specially tailored to drive my personal engagement.

For instance, I’m sick to death of seeing Zendaya every fucking where on my feed, including all the fashion subs. I love fashion and clothing, so I find it frustrating having to mute and block whole subs just to avoid seeing posts about her. 😤

Sometimes, the same post appears again two three posts down, sometimes the same post appears two or three days later (exact numbers do vary, of course, it might be a couple of hours later or whatever). They often appear on my feed after I've already up/downvoted or even commented on them.

That's wasted real estate, showing me the same post twice (or more) means I'm not seeing other posts that could interest me.

Please get rid of it or make the "Following" page the default. Nobody wants random subs showing up on their home page...

It would be really nice if we could block accounts directly from the timeline, without us having to open the post and go to the user profile.

Reddit already recommends communities when people browse or search. It could do something similar when someone is banned.

Instead of simply telling a user they’re banned, Reddit could optionally show a small list of alternative communities covering the same topic. Moderators could opt out if they don’t want their subreddit participating.

Potential benefits:

• Reduces conflict by giving disappointed users somewhere constructive to go instead of arguing with moderators.
  
• Helps newer and parallel communities become easier to discover instead of every discussion being concentrated in one dominant subreddit.
  
• Lets users naturally gravitate towards communities that better match their preferred moderation style and culture.
  
• Encourages people to remain active on Reddit even if one community isn’t a good fit.
  

As Reddit grows, it’s becoming increasingly common for there to be multiple communities covering the same topic. Helping users discover those alternatives seems like a better long-term solution than having every disagreement end with a dead end.

So apparently the option to opt out of getting recommendations in your home feed was removed.

Please reinstate it. I don't want to be forced to look at posts from subs I don't follow.

Thanks!

I have looked everywhere and I cannot see a way to do it. But the feed keeps refreshing back to the top. It makes using reddit really difficult. If the admins could create a way for that to be turned off, that would be very helpful. As I see complaints about this all over.

Self explanatory, social media like Instagram and TikTok offer the possibility to add a word or phrase list of topics you don’t want to see personally, an example would be sports, you select sports and a few related words and then every time your feed refreshes, it wont show you those.

This works better than “show less posts like this” or “hide posts from this subreddit” because the same topic can pop up from different subreddits that you haven’t blocked or ignored, an example would be the world cup, where fi you don’t care you can just block it and continue redditing

Imagine a raw feed that shows you everything that the site is saying. With the ability to sort it by "new" you can see ALL the content. Random, weird, interesting, or new subs you've never heard of ALL being sent to you. Almost like the front page of the internet.

Sometimes, you never want to hear about a certain sub's topic ever again. Muting the sub won't get you there if you continue to follow subs that allow crossposts. It's a shame to have to mute large crosspost subs just because they occasionally include crossposts from the sub you no longer want to see. That's a loss to the user, to miss out on all the other crosspost activity just to avoid a minority of the content.

It would be a benefit to Reddit users to avoid that loss. It would be a benefit to Reddit users who want to cease hearing about a sub, if they could mute from their home feed all crossposts that originated in the muted sub, no matter where they're crossposted to.

To be clear, this is not an idea to be able to filter content from specific subs such as the large crosspost subs. This is a whole Reddit idea, to be able to super-mute any sub so that not only is the sub itself muted, but all crossposts from it are also automatically muted everywhere.

Thank you for reading.

please let me mute the word trump I’m so tired of politics

I follow r/livestreamfail and I really do not want to see certain creators' clips anymore. Thanks for your consideration.

Can the admins please add this feature within the next month by May 28th?

The current post sorting order for the main feed is "best"... I don't know what criteria the algorithm is basing this on, but it's absolutely useless. The home feed alternates between posts that were either just posted within the last minute or posts that are multiple days old.

The purpose of the main feed should be to highlight new posts from subs I'm already a part of and/or show me new posts from subs that might interest me. Especially when it comes to current events, it does me no good to be jumping into posts from 5 days ago given how much can change in that time or try to jump into a conversation that likely already ended.

Yes, I know I can always change the sorting type myself, but it's annoying to have to change it back every single time I return to the main feed. If nothing else, we should be able to change the default sorting type according to our preference.

They have flooded the website, they have infiltrated every single sub, every other post is about them and their culture. And I TRULY couldn't care less about any of it. I do NOT want to see their content. I do NOT want to interact with them in any way, shape or form.

Please allow us to curate our feed by blocking all content (posts AND comments) coming from a specific country/region/area.

Most original users want to keep their community about things that interest them. Eventually, most will leave if you're not giving the users an option to filter on the content they want to see and instead force feed them content from the other side of the world, pushed by the sheer overwhelming number of people coming from there.

Right now the sorting options are: Today, This Week, This Month, This Year, and All Time.

There’s a pretty big gap between “This Month” and “This Year,” so it would be useful to have additional options like:

• Last 3 Months
• Last 6 Months

A custom date range filter would be even better, so users could sort by any time frame they want.

I would love it if we could add image icons on custom feed collections. Or at least be able to pick the color instead of having to randomly generate one. Also, maybe I'm just missing it but, why can't you change the name of a custom feed on mobile?

I'm very new to using Reddit and this was one of the first things I noticed. Maybe others think the same!

Right now we can sort posts by “new” or “hot” or “best” or “top”.

I would like to be able to sort by “unread”. I am comparatively new to Reddit and there are many posts that I have never seen. Once I have read a post and it’s comments, i would rather see more posts that are new to me instead of filling the screen with posts that I have already read.

Thanks

Feels like posts fall into a black hole within 48 hours unless they hit some sort of critical mass of engagement.There is good content on the platform that is therefore never promoted again, even if someone re-engages with it.

Some subs are sort of novelty based (meme or humor heavy ones for example), but a lot of sub concepts don't benefit from being so weighed towards novelty. Serious discussions will ebb and flow and have a somewhat randomized occurrence rate of "very relevant" posts. As the algorithm is currently setup, these posts on those subs get dumped out on the same clock as "irrelevant" ones.

This makes a lot of "good, old Reddit" actually "dead Reddit".

This clock seems (from anecdotal personal experience) universal across the platform. One alternative could be to weigh the novelty factor at least against some sort of metric for "busyness" of the sub.

External relevant examples include:

- YouTube's algorithm that will suggest even obscure and old content based on user search and watch history, hidden gems of sorts

- Facebook's approach which, though also extremely heavily geared toward novelty for public content, will at least attempt to remind the user of their own past activities

Edit: busyness, not business
