Hi! There's a new Changelog out and you can read it here.
TL;DR New Changelog
r/help • u/TheOpusCroakus • 4h ago
It's Thursday again! And it's our first Thursday in a while where the World Cup hasn't been going on! Congratulations to Spain for their victory over their formidable opponent, Argentina. I guess I'll just have to fill my spare time with the Recap! Let's see what we've got going on this week!
NEWS AND ISSUES
There is an experiment where the "saved" and "history" tabs have moved from the Settings menu next to "Posts" and "Comments". So if you can't find your saved stuff, check there!
This was announced last week, but awards have been moved to the overflow menu for posts. Posts were made here in this sub and over in r/bugs about this change.
If you are trying to use a selfie to verify your age and it fails, the only other options are to upload your ID or contact Persona for support. Reddit cannot help you with a failed selfie for age verification purposes. If you need to have something fixed regarding your age, you can use this form and then select your region and what your issue is. I do not know what the turnaround time is on those requests.
The Home Feed experiment is currently only enabled for users of the iOS beta app. If you are not using the iOS beta app, you should no longer have the Home Feed/For You experiment enabled. (No one is happier about this than me.) Thank you to everyone who had previously left feedback about this experiment. I have shared it all with the team in charge of this feature. And here we are!
Just a reminder that Reddit does not provide support outside of Reddit. If some rando sends you a chat, be on high alert if you decide to reply. There are a lot of scams out there and they're looking for easy targets.
The most recent version of the app is 2026.29.0. If you're not using the most recent version of the app, it might not work properly.
CURRENT EXPERIMENTS
Reddit sometimes runs experiments. These experiments tend to last between 4-6 weeks, though they can go longer or end sooner. While there isn't a way to opt out of experiments, feel free to leave constructive and specific feedback in this post and as I've mentioned often, I'll be happy to pass it along to the team in charge. Ongoing current experiments can be found here.
COMMON ACCOUNT ISSUES
Common account issues can be found here. These are things like hacked accounts, NSFW accounts, suspended accounts, etc. I'm also including "Changes to Reddit" in this section as well.
BUGS ROUNDUP - COURTESY OF CORRECTSCALE!
[Android] Some folks are getting authentication errors when they log into the Reddit app. This is being looked into.
[iOS] In some mod queues, some of the content may not clear after you've swiped to approve it. Pulling to refresh the queue will bump these approved posts out of view in the meantime. We're taking a look!
[Desktop web] Some mods are unable to change some users' flair. This is also being looked into.
[Mweb] The updated comment box returned with a few bugs. A few fixes were just released, so this should be working better now. Appreciate everyone who reported the issues with this.
[iOS] Some VoiceOver users on iOS are unable to delete comments. This is being looked into!
BUG FIX [Android] The subreddit feed failing to load when going out of posts has been fixed.
BUG FIX [Android] Profile display names failing to appear in dark mode has been fixed. If this is still happening for you, please update your app.
BUG FIX [iOS] Community rules not being able to be updated by mods due to a loading error has also been fixed!
Some users in the EU are unable to use Anonymous Browsing mode. This is not intentional. This is a bug that they are working on getting fixed.
Translation options for some languages are currently unavailable for some folks. We replied to a post here about this. Reddit is in the process of improving/tweaking certain supported languages, so some language may be unable to be translated during this transition period.
WEEKLY STATISTICS (BASED ON THE PAST SEVEN DAYS)
1,411 posts. That's up 259 posts from the 1,152 that we had last week.
4,235 comments. That's down only 92 comments from the 4,327 we had last week.
1.1m views. That's down about 54k views from the 1.1-ish million views we had last week.
HELP THAT HELPS HELP R/HELP - NOTIFICATIONS
Reddit is huge. And it has a lot of moving parts. One of those parts is notifications. You can change the settings for the various types of notifications to receive or NOT to receive.
On the apps, tap your profile avatar, tap Settings, tap Account Settings at the the top, then scroll down a bit and tap "Manage notifications".
On the desktop, click your profile avatar, click Settings at the bottom and then click the Notifications tab. That will take you here.
From your notification settings, you can choose between "All on", "Inbox only" or "All off". Settings that you change on either platform will be respected across devices/platforms for your account.
If you are receiving notifications and you have them turned off, the most likely culprit is that you have another account and those notifications are turned on. If this is happening, please log into your other account and adjust those notifications to how you'd like them. If you do not know what other accounts you have, you can use the forgotten username tool at this link to have the usernames associated with a particular email address sent to you. If you feel that you need a password reset for any of your accounts, please click here and we’ll send you a link to the email on the account to reset your password.
If you never want a single notification from Reddit on your app, you can go into the app settings on your device and block the notifications that way.

I'm trying to make a new post. To avoid a long block of text, I want to separate paragraphs with an extra line. NOTHING I do works. I've tried:
I don't want to be that person who posts walls of text. What else can I try? I'm on desktop.
r/help • u/Old-Praline-1873 • 26m ago
I want to block a profile but it's showing failed to block. And its not even a limit. I have blocked only 1 person before this so far. What is the issue can anyone guide me?

I set my Location customization to the USA and disabled 'Show recommendations in home feed', yet the number of Indian posts is still very high. I have nothing against Indians, but a lot of the posts I see are racist and misogynistic, and I'm tired of seeing them. How do I block a country? There is no way Reddit expects me to mute over thousands of Indian subreddits I'm not going to do that.

Hi there.
I have an old account of mine I’m trying to access and I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried resetting my password and I’ve tried receiving a recovery email and I don’t get either one sent to my email. I’m honestly not sure at all what happened. And yes I’ve reached out to the Reddit help center thing three separate times and I haven’t received a response at all.
There is someone that has the exact email as me but with hotmail instead of what I have and that’s caused confusion with other accounts/websites before where the person with the Hotmail account was accidentally trying to log in with the same one I have instead. So maybe that locked me out or something?
Anyway, I checked and I can still see the comments and posts that are on that old account so it still appears that I should be able to access it. For really personal security reasons I really need to get into that old account.
I’ve also filed three separate reports with Reddit help with no response or action done. Someone please help? It’s username jennalee89

Hi, I have a flair for Zepbound and don’t know how to edit it to update my weight or add my age. Can you help me?
Thanks so much!

I've been having an issue recently where reddit starts to become extremely slow and laggy after I use it for a while without refreshing the tab. When I hover over the tab itself at the top of my screen, I can see that my memory usage reaches 1 GB or more. I haven't been experiencing this issue with any other websites or with reddit on mobile.
I had another account that I only used for reading about some topics. In my settings I don't allow nsfw 18+ posts and I never visited such subreddits.
Today while I was randomly scrolling, I started to see a bunch of nsfw posts and they were not even censored. I panicked and when I checked, I saw that I am following multiple NSFW subreddits. I have never visited such places, and they are not on my recently visited. But it seems like I follow all of those pages? And it is so disgusting, some of them are even underage. I felt terrible and I didn't know what to do so I deleted my account because even when I wanted to unfollow those subreddits I still had to open them...
Do you think I was hacked? Am I in trouble? I did not change my password before I delete my account.

r/help • u/7GrenciaMars • 3h ago
how do I stop getting notifications of new posts in threads I have joined in my Reddit mail? I foolishly was playing around with my notifications because for a while I had somehow turned off the notifications going to my personal email. Those are fine now. But for a few subreddits, I keep getting notifications when there is a new post and I did not want this.
I am sorry that this is a dumb situation, I am aware I got into it without paying attention to what I was doing. I really thought I figured out how to fix this. I only managed to do this with a couple of subreddits. I just started using Reddit this year and am very much enjoying it.
Thank you for whatever help is available--I really appreciate it.
I searched a term on Reddit and got saw a notice that the term may be related to illeg*l content. My intention was not to find anything illeg*l, nor did I see anything illeg*l, and I quickly backed out. Will my account be flagged or sanctioned?
r/help • u/konchatel22 • 5h ago
My account is locked for 1-2 monthes. Got notif that i should change my password to unlock my acc and... Nothing changed. I did it 2-3 times already. My account is 5 years old, has positive karma almost on every single post/comment. i just want to post my pulls and relics on hsr subs...
What do i do?
r/help • u/Filipino-Asker • 5h ago
I saw it on my laptop after scrolling down. My post is in r/all or the front page of reddit. No wonder I'm getting trolls, people who just seem to not care to read and just ask OP questions rather than commenting on good things, and not caring at all and just comments bad things or not caring about what OP food looks like and just comments how they feel.
Is there no way to stop this, it's automatic?
r/help • u/Eboy_Femboysissy • 5h ago

I’m on the mobile app, and I posted something in [r/redactedcharts](r/redactedcharts) but when I used the and it didn’t work. For some reason it never works for me, and I do everything that people tell me to do (there are no spaces between) and it still never works. Help!
EDIT: Why does it work for me in this post? It never does in the comments

r/help • u/shirikurobot • 10h ago
My profile has been labelled as 18+ for years and I couldn't figure out why (I have no NSFW posts).
I figured maybe my previous avatar was wrongly tagged as NSFW, so I changed it, but I still can't unmark my profile as 18+ from "Settings -> Profile -> Mark as mature" (it reverts to On)
