Howdy Mods,
It’s been a busy end of the year, and today we have a bevy of updates. Please dive in below.
In October we launched a native mobile modmail feature on iOS and Android. Though the rollout laid a sturdier foundation for needed tweaks to modmail, it did impact the functionality of different moderation features. Since then our team has been working on resolving various issues that mods highlighted.
Here’s what’s been fixed and improved:
Upcoming Improvements:
We recently launched a new mobile experience to help redditors more easily discover and explore communities related to the same topic directly from a subreddit’s homepage.
As shown in the image above, some communities will have a relevant topic and their ranking within that topic (determined by recent user activity volume in the community) displayed on the header of the homepage. By tapping on the topic and ranking, Redditors will be directed to a list of communities within that same topic group to explore. In the future, we’ll also expand this to show more posts and content about that topic.
Important note: This feature respects individual subreddit discovery settings.
We’ve updated the Mod Log to record when a mod team member has enabled or disabled post flair navigation on mobile. This change came about thanks to the feedback we received in r/RedditModCouncil.
As always, don't hesitate to let us know in the comments below if you have any questions about the above updates.

"See More" is the tuck-away menu that hides several community-important features:
Why is admin-ranking of related subreddits more important than these other subreddit features?

Issue: Clicking on the user's profile takes a bunch of new steps on iOS
Solution: We updated the “user summary card” to contain more information to minimize the need to visit the user profile card in most cases.
This is not a solution to the complaint, this is just refusing to fix something that doesn't need to take 2 extra button presses

Hi how about **action_reason on user mod log**? I've listed scenarios why it is a must[1] in my previous suggestion.

I'm genuinely curious. What's it like as a dev or just a corporate mouthpiece (I don't have any way of knowing your actual role w/Reddit) making recurring posts (and replies) like this that get downvoted into oblivion?
Does anyone at Reddit make note of the continued wall of animosity that the company has garnished from its "landed gentry" moderator community? Will things like that ever be addressed earnestly?
This is an honest and sincere question that I believe and constantly see from these kinds of posts is a massively outstanding issue.

I don't know about other communities, but the flair sidebar widget in my community doesn't show all the possible flairs: I only see 9. And, those aren't even the most recently used 9. We have 20. Clicking the "more" button doesn't actually show more flair options.
So, I love that you added flair navigation to the mobile app, but it hasn't worked on Windows app or in the browser in a very, very long time.

Hey how about you do something about the rampant repost bots?
How about the spam sales bots?
Did everyone get signed up for ModWorld? Where no problems will be addressed and actual issues will be ignored for stupid feature rollouts.

Lift, could these changes have messed with reports showing when you view a post? If you go into a reported post right now (on android), it will only show part of the report (the top 40% of the text). I think it has something to do with the toolbar the mod information/buttons are stored in now moves dynamically and is not fixed to the bottom of the image/text/link box.

Swipe to archive is beautiful.
Currently the info card only shows LIVE posts and comments from a user. It doesn’t show removed posts and comments, which our subreddit refers to constantly due to how strict our requirements are and how many posts are removed. Being able to quickly access these all in one place is essential. Especially since the links embedded in the modmail itself can be hit or miss in terms of click ability.

My mobile ModMail still has issues with archiving. I’ll swipe to archive and the message will disappear on mobile, but will still be visible and not archived on desktop. No “archive” action appears in the ModMail log either.
Second, we have a bunch of old Moderator Added messages in the mobile ModMail. These messages won’t archive, and they don’t appear on desktop at all.
Are solutions coming for these issues?

I'm actually ok with the related subreddits option. People have to actively look for it instead of subreddits being directly advertised on others. I don't want to be associated with certain subreddits, but being on a list of subreddits for a certain topic doesn't imply that there's an association.

What's up with not being able to post videos to NSFW subreddits all of a sudden?
