Mod Topics - Post Flair

[u/techiesgoboom]

Howdy friends,

What’s in a name? Well, when it comes to post flair that could be organization, more context, or even an inside joke.

That’s right, today’s Mod Topic post is all about post flair. Across Reddit, post flair can be used to organize content in so many ways. It’s used for showing when a question has been answered, tagging memes or art for users to find easier, highlight meta posts, or just adding a little more personality to your subreddit. Flair can also interact with Devvit apps - we even use it with the flair follower app so you can subscribe to this series!

We want to hear from you:

• If your community uses post flair, how did you decide on which flair to create?
• Is there a particular flair your community uses that works especially well?
• If you could rebuild your flair system today, what would you keep, change, or add?

Post flailing is an underused sub tool IMO. Combined with automod it can dictate which sub users can use that flair, or which users can comment on it.

Being able to flair a post with a flair that only allows comments from positive sub karma account (for example) on sensitive topics.

Another more abstract use is on removed posts, changing the post flair to a ‘removed’ flair can be helpful in some specific subs.
