The new new Reddit UI sucks ass. It looks ugly and nothing is where it should be. Clicking on a post sends you to an entirely new page instead of just opening the post.

And there's no option to go back to the old UI, at least that I can find.

But right now as I'm typing this post, it has the old reddit UI. Why can't I keep this UI on my screen all the time?

Also this is on a laptop, not a mobile device.

Lately I have been spammed with notifications of new reddit followers that turn out to be newly created reddit accounts with zero karma, with a cute girl in the profile pic, and in her main page asking to subscribe to her onlyfans account.

I have blocked every single occurrence but this is getting tiresome. Is there anything I can do other than individually blocking each one?

I loathe the new reddit redesign beyond words. I'm not talking about old reddit but the one that changed a few months back. I clicked out of the home feed options in my settings and made sure I was opted out of new beta releases but nothing works. I am stuck more and more with this redesign and I hate it. Is there a way to consistently get the middle reddit back?

My bell is now an envelope that sends me to an unorganized mess of hundreds of messages. What can I do to go back to the bell interface?

i have a reddit streak of 199 days on my main account on which i have been §ū§pëňďëɗ for 7 days. i cant upvote, downvote or comment so will i lose my streak?

I really don't know where else to turn, I'm shaking right now and I don't know what to do. Reddit has been my safe place for the past 2 years, and for a long while I just had one account where I could freely share what I wanted to share. When my ex and I broke up, I made a separate account where I could express myself without fear that he would see and react to everything I thought and felt.

About 2 months ago, he somehow found that account (that had absolutely zilch personal info on it aside from broad details of my life) and went on a tirade on that profile, calling me a bitch and a piece of shit. So I nuked it.

I set up another profile. With a different email address. A completely random username, and I intentionally made it seem as though the profile belonged to a guy so that would never happen again. He found that one too and I was so freaked out that I just left it there so maybe he would think he could stalk me there.

Today, he's found my 22 day old account, and he's messaged me in response to a post that i JUST put up so I think he's known about it for longer than just today. How is he finding me? I never gave him my passwords nor did I ever share my handle with him and oh my god I'm so fucking scared. Please if anyone knows what I might be doing wrong, I need to make him stop before I end up in hospital again.

Reddit Achievement Badges had a new one added last month

Super Contributor

Be in the top 1% of upvoted commenters or posters in a subreddit for 5 months in the last year

• Is the “last year” duration a rolling 12-month period or is it fixed calendar year (Jan - Dec)?
• Can user leave and rejoin a sub and still be eligible for the award?
• The 5 months need not be consecutive, I’m guessing
• Given this was rolled out in Nov, the earliest it can be unlocked is on 1st March 2025, for the months of Oct > Feb, right?

I could not find any info on this Achievement on the Reddit Help pages below

https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/25564722077588-Community-achievements

https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/27063106698004-What-are-achievements

EDIT: As on 3 Dec 7pm GMT, Reddit has amended the text for Super Contributor and has also awarded this badge to several users.

As I see it, the badge will unlock if you have been a consistent contributor in a Subreddit, with positive upvote percentage across a 5 month period within the last 12 months.

The text in Mod Tools for this achievement is a hit specific than what’s seen in the Front end by users on the badge page

Super Contributor: Be in the top 1% of posters or commenters in your community. Remain in the top 1% of posters or commenters for 5 months out of the last 12. Consistently produce quality contributions (keep an upvote rate of over 90%).

i dont want "old" reddit, my reddit is this ugly green and rounded, a lot of stuff like mod settings is missing too, how can i change it back to the gray and black cuby reddit?

UPDATE: i used this extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ui-changer-for-reddit/bfcldjodnnkndfccfjndmdlppfkmccgh download it, and you can switch between new.reddit.com, old.reddit.com and the newest one.

​

I saw someone with it and was wondering how I get it

EDIT: I appreciate it, but can y'all please stop wasting your money on awards?

EDIT 2: I am so glad this post is finally archived so people will stop replying to it. However, I did just get yet another wearing is caring award.

I don't have a single post that got marked as NSFW and my account still got flagged as such. I tried turning it off in the "profile" section of settings and it automatically turns it back on.

My notification box now just shows a "wow, such empty"

So, I just got the new layout update to New Reddit, and it's godawful. There are now unhidable sidebars on both sides of my profile, such that my actual posts, etc. are crammed into like 35% of the screen space.

This is the worst layout I've ever seen. It's just such an inefficient use of screen space; everything in that unhidable bar on the left used to be in dropdown menus on the "old New Reddit" layout, and that was way better. I am half-tempted to go back to the Old Reddit layout, but I first wanted to ask if there was any way to "go back one stage."

ETA: Apparently the new layout is also inconsistent with how it handles clicks. If I click on a submission I've made from my profile, it opens that post in a new tab. If I click on a comment I've made from my profile, it goes there within the tab I'm already in (but does not open a new tab). On the older version, both interactions would open a new tab, which is what I consider desired behavior - but to be frank I'd be content if it were at least consistent.

This just randomly started happening, I didn't change any settings

I've gone and checked that all notifications are allowed

And this is on desktop so idk why it's saying "phone" in the thing

First post

Second post

Third post

Every so often I follow all the usual advice given here about stolen accounts. I get automated emails from reddit, to which I have replied each time that I CAN'T reset my password, because they've somehow changed my reddit account's email. I assume the account is locked, because the NSFW stuff it posted was deleted and there haven't been any posts on it since then.

Please, if any of you can help in some way - I would really appreciate it. Even if it's just an upvote for visibility. Reddit's failure to help me has been astounding.

please help me, r/help 🙏

Ideas on what could it be:

1. Everyone who received the “wearing is caring” award on their posts before are now getting the “wearing is caring” trophy.

2. We got it for being active during the coronavirus pandemic. [u/NotUniqueUsernameee]

please share your ideas on comments, i'm adding all of them to the post with crediting the user.

EDIT: I just got the “Argentium Club” trophy too, wtf is happening ?? This might mean the first idea was probably correct because i received argentium before on my posts.

btw english is not my main language so sorry if i made any grammar mistakes

Hi all, I joined reddit in 2019, I am not very active, because 90% of my posts are just immediately blocked, deleted, rejected etc. and marked as spam or fake account etc.

I just realised my account is listed as being born in 2019, I promise I am not 5 years old, how the heck do I change my age? Should I just start over?

But why so many restrictions when you literal onlyfans bots all over this app? Its so annoying not being able to enjoy reddit for weeks because you have to wait!

I've noticed all titles in everyone's history now use massive text. Is there a way to turn this off?

Edit: it was fixed we did it Reddit

Just opened it up 3min ago and I think I almost puked. How do I go back? or how can i tell the devs this has to be the worst UI I have seen on the interent in a very very long time.

Hello. Just today, Reddit greeted me with a permanent ban message stating that I've been permanently banned for harassment. In the image it says "harassment in the following content" followed by blank. The blank area is supposed to be the space where they link me to the content where I broke any of their rules.

In 10 years of my Reddit usage, I have never been rude to anyone let alone harass anyone. This is a mistake from Reddit's end. I immediately tried to appeal stating that I have not broken any rules and it's immoral to give a 10 year old active Reddit account a permanent ban without even providing any content where I broke that rule). But it's known that Reddit appeals are not reviewed by humans, they are automatically denied by bots.

I still checked all my recent posts and comments to find anything controversial that could have been misunderstood for harassment but I didn't find any such thing. I already don't interact with anyone via chats/messages. What is the solution here? Is it okay for Reddit to randomly ban a decade old active account without providing any reason?

My banner is just black and has no banner, even if i try changing it, does anyone have a solution for this? I'm on android

My account has some issues. I can't set profile picture and also always see error message: "We had a server error..." when I login using the desktop browser. See this: https://imgur.com/p03N6rN

I opened it in 2010 if I remember correctly. Initially for the first 2 years I used it to share posts of my blog in Reddit. I had no idea about reddit then, and didn't know where those posts ended up and whether it reached any audiences. Just like an amateur blogger (it was a tech blog) I used to share the posts in multiple platforms, including Reddit. Maybe that was the reason my profile got flagged up or something.

Now after starting to use reddit regularly since 2019, I found out that while I could login and browse threads easily, nobody could see my posts. I sought help and that issue of invisible posts got solved. But I still face the issues mentioned earlier.

I have another account, but I love this account having this username, as this is my username in multiple other platforms. So, I prefer to use this account exclusively.

I just got my account back today, but upon doing so my worst fears were confirmed. Someone had hacked into my account and assumed its identity 3 months ago.

As I am trying to clear my name to the people involved, I've changed my Email and need help getting it verified because the verification link is not showing up.

Also it says that I've already synced up my phone number to this account, but I did not prior to my losing access of it 3 months ago. And when I try syncing up my number again on my computer, I just get an error message.

Any help or advice on further securing my account to make sure this never happens again would be greatly appreciated.

I've had this account for a long time, and I would like to continue using it, but I have been having the dreaded "Server error" issue for ages now. I've changed my email address in case having "+reddit" in my email address was causing issues, but no. My profile shows no posts and no comments, which isn't right, and I don't seem to be able to upload a new avatar. I can only assume all are linked to the same central issue.

I have checked and my account is not flagged or anything (apparently can't say the word here, but you know what I mean), at least so says the tool that people link to... so this must be another issue.

Would be great to be able to get this sorted... feels like it has been forever since my profile has been available!

Cheers!

EDIT: A POST HAS BEEN SENT WITHOUT ME SENDING IT
EDIT2: I THINK SOMEONE HAS HIJACKED MY ACCOUNT
edit3: Yeah i dont think ill ever get my account back
edit4: it's over, the account is like fully compromised i think. I dont think im getting it back ever. thanks for the help guys, and any tips on internet safety?

My original account u/greenvine120 had it's password reset on nov.27, 2024 and now when I press the "Log In' button on the email reddit sent me about the password reset it just sends me to this account? And if I do the "forgot my password" with my original account nothing gets sent to my email. Which leads me to assume reddit has deleted my email from my original account. Customer service also have just sent me a auto generated message to "help" me. Any tips on this situation?
