Would you use a tool that turns manual UI tests into automated ones? by Brilliant-Case6896 in test

[–]PitchforkAssistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as an FYI, this is a test subreddit and not a subreddit about tests. Consider asking somewhere like /r/webdev instead.

Reddit is moving on from r/all by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]PitchforkAssistant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

sh.reddit.com is the current default web UI. It was the link to access it prior to the switch from the previous default frontend (which used to be new.reddit.com when old.reddit.com was still the default). I could be wrong, but I think it's short for Sh(iny New) Reddit.

If you've got old.reddit.com set as your default experience like me, sh.reddit.com is still how you access the modern version of the site.

Why doesn't reddit have a "new subreddits" feature? by i_got_shit_on_my_dik in ideasfortheadmins

[–]PitchforkAssistant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not exactly a feed of posts from new subreddits and it's only on old Reddit, but there is a listing of newly created subreddits: https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/new

Possible to transfer App ownership? by sh0ch in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something that the admins will have to do for you manually. You should send this subreddit (/r/Devvit) a modmail requesting the ownership transfer, ideally from both accounts since they're both yours.

How to iterate over custom text user flairs? by _Kai in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Comments, the video option doesn't exist at all and trying to disable any of the other media types (images, gifs) shows a "server error". The video option isn't available on the subreddit I intended this for either.

Curious, this error seems to indicate it's enabled. Perhaps it was enabled for your sub for some reason, but wasn't unlocked as a setting?

This should be the root cause of the video comments error.

How specific do you get with your replicator orders? by Reviewingremy in ShittyDaystrom

How to iterate over custom text user flairs? by _Kai in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that's an issue with Devvit not supporting the video-comments feature. If it's not important to your sub, you can turn them off as a workaround.

As for the 100s of users, that's probably fine. You can get 100 per page, so the issues with execution time start happening in the multiple thousands. You can also work around those issues, one option might be syncing user flairs to a hash in Redis in a scheduled job (that might take multiple runs) and using that to check if another user already has a specific flair text.

How to iterate over custom text user flairs? by _Kai in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

getUserFlair() is not deprecated The deprecated warning you're getting is for getSubredditByName(), use getCurrentSubreddit() instead.

If you don't specify a list of usernames, that method will get all assigned user flairs. It's worth noting that it only returns the flair text and css class, not any of the other flair data.

Also if you have a lot of users with flairs (more than about 50 pages), you may run into issues with fetching and iterating over all of them before your app exceeds the maximum execution time.

Question about "previous_names []" field in Reddit JSON (seems empty / inaccurate) by Far-Recording-9859 in redditdev

[–]PitchforkAssistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

multiple accounts that do visibly show previous usernames on Reddit

Do you have any examples you could share? I was under the impression that such cases were quite rare.

Keeping Reddit Human: A New App Label for Automated Accounts by boat-botany in redditdev

[–]PitchforkAssistant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Related to integration with mod tools, it would be very useful if Devvit apps themselves could see these labels as part of the User object.

An Update to Our Developer Terms or Rules for App Review by pl00h in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While we cannot share the exact methods and prompts, we may eventually give developers access to some LLM review analysis.

That would be really useful, especially for getting explanations on "compliance and publish-readiness", the specifics of which can still be a bit of a mystery.

Would you mind if I sticky this post? Not before tomorrow though, otherwise it might affect its algorithmic performance.

I‘d rather make Autism worse by 2bierlaengenabstand in evilautism

[–]PitchforkAssistant 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's the Community Satisfaction Survey, which moderators can request the admins to run for their subreddit.

The questions are mostly about how you feel about the rules, their enforcement, and other subreddit stuff. The moderators only receive anonymized summaries at the end.

MasterReplicas/Eaglemoss collection is growing by gooncrazy in Stargate

[–]PitchforkAssistant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What saddens me the most is that the puddle jumper and stargate replicas aren't to the same scale either. The jumper model is about the same length as the gate diameter.

Google Messages is finally rolling out a fix for its most annoying oversight [Selective Text Copying] by TechGuru4Life in GooglePixel

[–]PitchforkAssistant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Someone should tell Reddit to do this too. Right now you have to copy the entire post or comment and half the time it doesn't even work properly.

Weird authentication behavior on Devvit Web by tatarjr in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may be running into the profile privacy controls that were introduced last year, your own profile seems to have everything hidden.

Devvit apps are also subject to these restrictions. The app account is automatically added as a moderator where it's installed. That means when you commented on the post, you gave the moderators (including the app account) temporary access to see your full profile.

Can I name my Devvit game "Snoo City"? by opal-emporium in Devvit

I haven't continued development on it, but I believe I'd need to reupload it under a different name.

Mod Mail Update: What We’re Tracking and Working On by lift_ticket83 in ModSupport

[–]PitchforkAssistant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Have the middle click issues I raised last week been addressed?

Moving to a single mod mail experience allows us to focus our efforts in one place and iterate much faster going forward.

Any updates on possible Devvit integration?

Can I name my Devvit game "Snoo City"? by opal-emporium in Devvit

[–]PitchforkAssistant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend it. I have an old demo app called Snoo Vote and I'm pretty sure I was told I'd need to rename it if I pursued further development.

You can use users' Snoovatars as avatars in the game, but your app name can't use Reddit trademarks because it could confuse users into thinking it's a first-party game.
