View submission: Mobile moderation on Reddit

Ahem.

PUT USERNAMES BACK INTO OUR FEED

Yes, if I go *solely* to my Mod Feed, I can still see usernames. But I do, in fact, like to use Reddit for reasons *other* than moderation. My previous preferred way of using the site was a custom feed I made, consisting of a mix of subreddits I moderate and quasi-related ones that I don’t. That way I could keep an active eye on my communities *while* doing my regular browsing (after clearing out ModQueue and ModMail, etc).

Now in order to see usernames (which is *vital* to my moderating experience), I can *only* use my dedicated mod feed or going to the individual subreddits. Only if I have time/energy after that could I browse other subreddits, and I’d need to either create a new “non-moderating” feed, or just have to see all my subs’ posts multiple times.

If this can’t be rolled back universally, then ***PLEASE*** make it a toggleable feature, or at the *VERY* least make it toggleable for custom feeds.

(Most of the rest of the changes I’m generally positive about with some minor critiques/preferences, but this is a HUGE one.)

Can you tell me a little more about why usernames in feed are helpful for your moderation workflow? We've found that most mods tend to click into PDP to learn more (where you can still see usernames). Thanks!
