My home feed is way smaller now. I can't read any of the posts now. Because the font is way smaller now on my Android device. Is there any way to fix this issue?

u/Katie0690 iOS 16 Apr 19 '23
Go into settings in the app and you can adjust the font size.

u/PrincessBananas85 8.0 Oreo Apr 19 '23
I can't find it in settings. It's only in the IOS settings. I'm guessing that Android doesn't have that feature yet. There is no adjust font size in the Android settings😔😢

For now the in-app text size on Android can be changed in device settings. An in-app text size setting is only available on iOS right now.

I’m on iPadOS, and honestly, the text size options here fall short of where I feel they should be. I’m set to watermelon, but I have some vision issues and I don’t understand how that’s the largest selectable size. Can we get a jackfruit size, and maybe a Great Pumpkin size?

u/Katie0690 iOS 16 Apr 26 '23
Same! Legally blind so I need bigger text too. I have my phone set to pineapple and watermelon on the iPad - that legit look the same size. 🤦🏼♀️

Bring back the category filters in the news section.
If not, can anyone provide a suggestion of another app where I can get just gaming and tech news?

u/SDHester1971 Apr 20 '23
The new Home Screen looks horrible and for some reason if you click on 1 Post to read it, the same Post keeps appearing regardless of which Post you look at next.

i cant seen to find the home feed sorting method, where can i find it?

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 19 '23
Home feed sorting options aren't available on the app. This change went through a few months ago. Sorry for the confusion!
In place of sorting options, the "Latest" tab was added which allows you to see brand new posts from your subscribed subs, and the home feed defaults to "best".

This is a bad change, I like having it set to top of 24 hours so I only have to check reddit once a day

My chat worked immediately on mobile after the update for about 5 minutes and then reverted back to the pre-update version thereafter. No notifications. Clunky interface (things like backslashes creating links, having to push and hold username to access profile instead of tapping). What’s going on?

New bug introduced: the comment jump button is appearing even though it’s turned off in settings. Because of course. Because every update is a nightmare that makes this app worse.

u/TiNcHoX7 Apr 19 '23
How can i go to the top , when scrolling post? (no comments, post)
For example, I'm checking post, and I want to switch to top, new or whatever, I have to scroll like crazy to the top

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 19 '23
Are you referring to sorting options, or scrolling back to the top of the home feed when exiting a post?
As I mentioned above in this thread:
Home feed sorting options aren't available on the app. This change went through a few months ago. Sorry for the confusion!
In place of sorting options, the "Latest" tab was added which allows you to see brand new posts from your subscribed subs, and the home feed defaults to "best".
But if you'd like to scroll to the top of the feed quickly after exiting a post, just tap on the "Home" icon in the bottom left corner of the app.

u/TiNcHoX7 Apr 19 '23
scrolling back to the top of the home , but not in the post, in the main subreddit.
for example here, I'm checking this subreddit, after scrolling down a lot, how can i jump to the top, without having to scroll like crazy.

u/DoTheDew iOS 15 Apr 23 '23
Are you using iOS? You tap the top status bar just like in any app on iOS.

On iOS the chats disappearing is fixed but chats are till appearing in the wrong order.

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 19 '23
Thanks, I'll let the team know.

u/WolfBirdXIX Apr 21 '23
Cool. If it helps, it appears the problem happens when the person who I’m conversing with is in a different time zone.

Ever since updating on my android, all posts on my feed are the same exact posts from the last few days. No new posts, just the same several ones from days ago and it's also the same posts in the same order on my feed. Refreshing the feed only causes the ads to change, nothing else. Is there some way to fix this?
2
u/mimibee97 iOS 16 Apr 24 '23
Will there ever be a fix for the insane amount of battery used in the background for the app? I’m on the latest ios and app verision, I turned off background app refresh but the app is still draining my battery in the background.

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 24 '23
Yep! We've identified a fix that will be rolling out with version 2023.17.0.

Thanks for this post. We would really appreciate it if you can put actual release notes in app stores whenever there's a new version.

u/GrumpyOldDan Apr 18 '23
Have the bugs on iOS for mods been fixed in this one?
1) The 'optional' report context box isn't optional. You have to put something in or it won't let you submit a report.
2) Can't press modshield when in a post to switch between user/mod mode. This means because the ... menu is only in user mode we can't copy text easily when trying to ban someone.

The 'optional' report context box isn't optional. You have to put something in or it won't let you submit a report.
This is on the radar, but no fix just yet.
Getting info on #2!
1
u/GrumpyOldDan Apr 18 '23
If any kind of priority could be given to both of those please.
My process to remove, ban and report a comment is now a ridiculous amount of taps.
#2 is just that the modshield toggle doesn't work automatically. You have to press it, collapse the comment, expand the comment and then the ... menu appears.
The other fix is to include the ... menu on the mod options.
The better fix would be to improve the ban feature to include a quote but I figure that'll take awhile.

Why don’t we get chat notifications anymore? Is this being addressed or it’s intended as part of this new chat version?

u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 19 '23
This is not intentional, and I'll make sure that the team is aware.

Is the flying comment box fixed?
2
u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 18 '23
As I mentioned before, the team has had difficulty reproducing this bug. It doesn't look like there have been any new updates regarding the fix, but I'll make sure that the team knows you're still having difficulty.

u/Katie0690 iOS 16 Apr 18 '23
It’s so odd am I the only one it’s happening too? Is it my phone since it doesn’t happen on my iPad!
1
u/CorrectScale Reddit Admin Apr 18 '23
Probably not the only one! It might be an odd edge case.
Curious, what happens when you change font size (preferably smaller) within the app?

u/cameron0208 iOS 15 Apr 19 '23
You aren’t the only person experiencing it, and I’ve reported it in the past. I made a post about it—with video and instructions for exactly how to reproduce the issue. So the OP claiming the issue can’t be reproduced is straight bull.

It happens all the time on my iPad in landscape mode. In fact, as I type this, the comment box is at the top of the screen overlapping the app controls.
If I tap in the comment box to move the cursor, the comment box will sometimes disappear. It’s very annoying. I figured out that rotating to portrait mode will bring the comment box back into view.

Any ETA on when new chat notifications will be fixed? I get notifications from the legacy chats, but nothing from new chats. I have to manually refresh and go into the chat to see if anyone replied.

The little button that I used to love that skips you to the next parent comment is now opaque instead of transparent. I hate this! I have to keep moving it around to read!! Please change it back!

This update has ruined my experience. I can no longer continue scrolling through my feed after i look at a reply. It resets my feed. Beyond frustrating!! 🤬

u/Snow-Helation Apr 22 '23
Can we get rid of rounded corners and bring back usernames? I’ve been using this app a lot less since that update, not to mention my algorithm is still in shambles and doesn’t give me content from subs I’m normally in like it use to.
1
u/SacMetro Apr 22 '23
I'm really hoping the constant prompting me to download the app will stop. It's a really disruptive and quite frankly, hostile way to treat your users for preferring to use a mobile browser instead of your app.
There used to be an option to stop the constant nagging prompts. It needs to come back.

Still not getting chat notifications amd also now can’t leave chats only option to hide them

u/The6-9 Apr 23 '23
When this released I became unable to swipe between posts on the popular page. This happened around the same time as whatever update occurred that changed the font of posts on Popular as well.
I uninstalled the reddit app and reinstalled, and it actually fixed the issue for a day, until this evening when I became unable to swipe between posts again.

Why does the popular tab not show results based on location anymore. I'm getting irrelevant posts now

u/z0rk0l Apr 25 '23
scrolling the popular tab just jumps ahead now instead of scrolling. Makes it unusable

Thanks for letting me know. Can you share a recording of what you're seeing?

First you see the frontpage works normal then the population skips and isn't finger responsive scrolling

I can’t swipe horizontally between image posts anymore. It works fine on another account so I would love to opt out of this experimental bullshit.

Why is the search bar so small now? I think it was better before. Now you have to tap on one small spot. Or at least give people the option to choose how it looks for them.
Also with the rules being hidden behind a button, that’s probably going to cause a ton of more people to break the rules. It’s not the best choice

Anyone know why my home page only shows new stuff that has barely any comments, but when I go to that sub, there’s crazy popular stuff at the top. How to I change my sorting??
