View submission: Updates to Community Page Design on Desktop

This was a common feature that we saw a lot of communities using CSS hacks to implement on old Reddit. These will live in a sidebar widget just below the community description. However, there are currently some limitations on the controls, as it’s automatically on for all communities that use flair and available flairs can’t be customized since they are automatically determined based on flairs available in the feed.

Right so just to check and see how you have this roadmapped:

• we need a way to set flairs as eligible or ineligible for the post filter control. In our case, I think our community would find it easier for them to be ineligible by default, but I suppose there's the potential that the inverse might be equally common as well. I'd be curious to hear the thoughts of other communities.
• how will this control handle user generated post flairs in the majority of cases?
• will users be able to *exclude* flair/tag categories from the feed rather than *including* categories? In my personal experience, it seems like more people would have an active desire to do the former rather than the latter.

These are all things we're thinking about, but unfortunately I don't have anything specific to say about the roadmap. In terms of your second bullet the answer is that it will include user generated flairs, although lower down the list. For the third bullet the answer is that you won't be able to in this first release, unfortunately.

I'd rather set it once as an include and have it ignore anything that isn't in the include list.

Edit: My bad, I read that as the mod excluding flairs from the sidebar/filter element. You're talking about users being able to exclude certain types of posts, which I'm 100% in agreement with.
