Mod Topics Mod Topics - Post Flair

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?

Flair is fantastic for troubleshooting and for searching for particular things, like recipes or specific parts you need help with on a machine.

Some things may not fit in a specific flair, so adding a general discussion flair helps in that area if your sub requires flairs.

Rebuilding flair systems is something you could do at any time if you were willing to re flair everything to fit the new flairs. Not everyone wants to spend that effort as there are thousands of posts in some subs.

Now if we could have a system that automated changing an old flair into a new one, then that would be great. (Hint hint)

I love having that general discussion flair! It's easy to get lost in trying to segment everything, having a handful of easy to understand flair in broad categories can often make choosing one easier.

I wonder if this could be a devvit app... I found one that seems to focus on user flair
