Encountered a big problem: having submission title filters submission flair filters (about 5, VERY niche) caused every single subreddit to blank out completely — with the “nothing to see here” message. Deleting these restored functionality, but I haven’t tried to re-add them.

The filters were:

[For Hire] [FOR HIRE] [Hire Me] [HIRE ME]

…and perhaps another that’s similar. There are definitely not many submissions with those terms, and I’d never previously had a problem.

Don’t want this to sound like a rant though. The other changes are very positive — thank you!

Does downloading videos or pictures will go directly into the Slide For Reddit album again? Like before version 7

I love the follow feature! I notice that when I tap on search from the sidebar then type my search term, then tap search all Reddit it still only searches the front page, how can we fix this?

Excited for the Mac app! The current iPad app already runs great on an M1 Mac. I especially love the trackpad gestures that work really well for closing images and videos. I hope these gestures are incorporated to the Catalyst app too.

Only problem I have on the M1 is that sometimes video audio gets stuck, and keeps playing in the background even after closing said video. Opening another video causes audio of two videos to overlap, and so on. I have to close the app to make it stop.

Noticed a bug: Normally, when I go to a user’s profile and select one of their comments, it’ll take me directly to the comment, and there’ll be an option at the bottom to open the full thread. However, when I have “hide bottom bars on scroll” enabled, the option never reappears once I start scrolling

Also can we have tags such as NSFW next to the post title when using Gallery View Mode?

Did you get rid of collapsing comments flat? I cant find that option anymore. Also something about the new update broke the app and I had yo reinstall it losing everything.
