Hello! Thursday is upon us once again! It's starting to feel like it's happening weekly or something. Weird. But what's not weird is the Recap, so let's see what non-weirdness happened last week!

NEWS AND ISSUES

• On Wednesday, there was a bug in an experiment we were running to promote Reddit’s app. The test was intended for logged out users on mobile devices, but desktop web users were mistakenly included and prompted to download the iOS Reddit app. The cause was quickly identified and the change was rolled back. We commented on posts in r/help and r/bugs and gave an update when it was fixed. Thanks to everyone who flagged this, the team who worked on the fix and to the r/help mods for cleaning up the duplicate posts in the sub and redirecting users to the main post.

• Reddit released their latest Transparency Report over in r/RedditSafety and you can read it here.

• There's a new Changelog out! You can read it here.

• User highlights include:

• Launching the For You/Following Feed

• Experimenting with moving Popular to home feed

• Rolling out Reddit Reviews: A new way to find and explore products on Reddit

• Update to archived posts

• Testing a few new video features

• Clearer labels and less clutter around posts and comments

• Reddit app now compatible with iPhone Duo

• Testing topic filters in News and new link post layouts

• Moderator updates include:

• User flair customization and next steps

• Find alternatives for your community’s bots with App Finder

• Reminder: RSS feed support ending November 13

• Reminder: Moving API apps and bots to the Developer Platform

• Rules hub is expanding to more communities

• AND BUG FIXES!!

• [Android] The left-side menu could appear blank when first opened, but now responds to gestures as expected!

• [Android] Some users could not reply to an automod comment on a removed post, but now they can!

• [Android] Swiping through an image gallery sometimes moved users to the next post instead of the next image, but this is fixed!

• [iOS] The bottom action bar will now appear on image and video posts when Reduce Transparency is enabled.

• [iOS] Links in comment automation messages are now be highlighted as clickable text.

• [iPadOS] Post navigation controls will now appear as expected each time a post is opened.

• [Web] Moderators can now navigate to and review all pending applications.

• [Web] Users can now set the default sort on profile posts without an error.

• There is a new experiment which returns the Hot and Top sorting options to the home feed. This has now been rolled out to just about everyone.

• Your "For You" tab may be called "Discover" or "Explore". Everything else is the same, including switching between feeds at anytime and returning to the one you last viewed the next time you open Reddit.

• Some users may also begin to see the "Popular" tab next to the For You and Following tabs as another experiment.

• Speaking of the Popular feed, there is an experiment which will show users more locally relevant content.

• There is an ongoing experiment which turns select text posts and some of their comment threads into an audio and video format.

• There is an experiment with a different layout for thumbnails on link posts where there may not be a preview image. So, not a bug, but feel free to leave feedback in this post.

• Rather than commenting that you'd like to be removed from an experiment, please provide constructive feedback about the feature. I can't remove folks from experiments, but I can (and do!) pass along your thoughts!

• Reddit does not provide support outside of Reddit. There is no "Reddit support on Discord". Reddit will never ask another user to contact you on our behalf. That is someone trying to scam you. If you're having an actual issue with your account that is not solved by posting in r/help or by the articles in the Help Center, you can use this form for the real thing. Please note that 95% of issues can be solved much, much quicker by posting in r/help (or our cousin subs, r/reddithelp and r/newtoreddit).

• The most recent version of the app is 2026.44.0. 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 CORRECT SCALE!

• [Android] Some users with Samsung keyboards might not be able to use certain voice-to-text features with Google Speech Services. This is being investigated.

• [iOS/desktop web] The issue with mods getting an error when trying to reorder the mod list is still being reported. This continues to be looked into.

• [All platforms] Some mods with without certain perms are seeing approval/removal options for posts and comments. And when they try to use those perms, they get an error. The team is looking into why those options are showing when they shouldn't.

• [All platforms] Some users may notice a different layout for thumbnails on link posts. This isn’t a bug, but some users are reporting it as one. We’re currently experimenting with the layout of link posts, so some users may see link posts without a preview image. It's just one variant of that experiment!

• BUG FIX [iOS/Android] Games, polls, and custom post types from Devvit apps were not displaying in-app for some users. We’ve fixed this in the latest version of the app, so if users are still reporting issues with this, they just need to update the app!

WEEKLY STATISTICS (BASED ON THE PAST SEVEN DAYS)

• 949 posts. That's down 162 posts from the 1,111 that we had last week.

• 7,800 comments. That's up 3,261 comments from the 4,539 we had last week.

• 1.3m views. That's up 426k views from the 874k-ish views we had last week.

Clearly, the bug in the experiment was a popular topic.

HELP WITH R/HELP: Where the !@#*!%& is my post?

Sometimes, you'll create a post and then sort the sub by new so that you can admire your handiwork! But how come you don't see it? Where is it? Where is your post?!

There are a few different reasons why a post may not appear in a subreddit after you've posted. Some subreddits will have minimum karma or account age requirements as a way of combating spam and trolls. There are a couple of options if you do not have enough karma to participate in a particular subreddit. You can send a mod mail message (NOT a chat!) to the mods of the sub and ask them if they will approve your content, though they are not obligated to do so. If you've never sent a mod mail before, this helpful post will walk you through it.

And the other option is to participate in subreddits that do not have those requirements to gain some karma. We would not recommend hitting up one of the "free karma" subreddits. Nothing is truly free now, is it?? But a sub like r/casualconversation is great for earning legit karma! And if you’re looking for a subreddit on a particular topic and aren’t quite sure what it would be, you can try posting in r/findareddit and someone there may have a suggestion for you.

Another reason why your post might not be showing is there may be a restriction on your account. If you are unable to view content on your account when you are logged out of the account (that is the important part), then you will need to file an appeal. You can file an appeal by clicking the link in the notification that you received.

So just spend a little time getting used to things and participating with quality content and you'll soon be able to post your sick memes without issue!
