Really upset that new.reddit will be gone, here's a few things (might remember more) that I do for modding on new. that I can't (or havent figured out how to) on sh.

• use collections - I know you guys deprecated them, but we use them for bookclubs, we currently have 5 book clubs and 2 readalongs going on the sub. Using collections (for the clubs where mods are discussion leaders, doesn't work as well for the others) lets us group them together, and people can subscribe to the collection and be notified when a post is added. With so many going on and each have 3-5 posts a month that makes it a little easier to stay on track
• toolbox features - as far as I can tell toolbox isn't working with new-new. I use fewer toolbox features than my fellow mods, but these two are essential to being able to enforce our rules: * filter user's history by subreddit - we only allow self-promotion for users who have been active consistently for a significant amount of time, it's impossible to tell that without being able to filter by our sub if users are active in multiple subs (also, some people do not know to make separate porn accounts so that's also something I would rather be able to easily filter out). * toolbox user history thingy that has an overview of an user's active subs can quickly give us an idea if someone doing a misstep on our sub might be just new and clueless vs ill-intentioned and in need of further investigation * I think this is from toolbox, in the queue if comment (or post, I think), is reported due to an automod word filter, it highlights that word in the comment so we can find it at a glance. With people writing multiple paragraph essays that one's essential.
• without the contour/background highlighting it's a lot harder for me to visually tell if a comment has been removed. We get threads with hundreds of comments, even past 1000 with people arguing over a particular writer with surprising ferocity. If I can't easily tell what's already been removed it becomes impossible to handle. -
• The collapsing comments collapse too much, making it hard to mod large threads. Side note, it was already very hard to handle on new, but this seems worse. On old I have an option to see all comments up to 1500, I think it might be from toolbox, or from res, but it makes all the difference in 200+ comment threads and would be great if y'all could implement that as a mod option. Also the ability to filter which new comments to highlight, 1 hours ago, 5 hours ago, really helps in the big angry threads.
• I'd prefer an easier way to turn off mod mode, like it is on mobile, I'm always worried I will accidentally misclick and remove stuff
• flairs hidden at the bottom of the post - do you just enjoy making information harder for me to find?

If I find more stuff should I add them here? I don't think anyone on our team has been doing a lot of moderating on new-new yet, but if new is going away I guess someone will have to bite the bullet and try it out.
