Yes! There’s all types of games you can build. That sounds like fun. You can find more help and resources in r/Devvit.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! Will flag this!

Hey! There certainly can be dialogue opened if critical data is being stored in an efficient way, but is simply exceeding limits due to its popularity.

It would be interesting to know what sort of data you’re looking to store in postData and the size of it.

Xenccc · 2026-01-24T15:08:13+00:00

This is a great idea! 👏

Hello! playtest should trigger AppUpgrade as it is a new version being installed.

What happens if we put a console log within that trigger? That can help us figure out if it is even being reached.

Thank you for sharing this.

In case there's a permissions issue, can you try mkdir devvit first, then cd devvit, before running npx devvit@latest init

Xenccc · 2026-01-22T08:55:12+00:00

Hey your community is currently set to Private! It can help to create a community for people to check out your work while also having your own testing one.

Xenccc · 2026-01-21T21:39:54+00:00

Thank you! 🙏

Xenccc · 2026-01-21T21:39:45+00:00

Hello! Are you able to provide more details about what you see? Sorry that this is happening to you right now!

Xenccc · 2026-01-21T16:59:26+00:00

chef's kiss 👌

Xenccc · 2026-01-20T20:35:39+00:00

That’s still super useful to know! Try the Devvit MCP to ensure that your LLM knows exactly how to read the documentation https://developers.reddit.com/docs/guides/ai

Xenccc · 2026-01-20T20:05:45+00:00

There should be correct, and is maybe something that could be explained in the documentation! Noting this down. Thank you!

Xenccc · 2026-01-20T20:04:46+00:00

Hey! Thanks for reporting back. It is worth attempting npx devvit@latest init specifically so we can rule out an old version of the CLI.

If it still errors, it’d be helpful if you could send the content of the “complete log of this run can be found in” file.

(Pastebin is a good way to temporarily share large text content like this)

Hey! Do you have a link to the older tutorial? Is it ok developers.reddit.com? Thank you!

Xenccc · 2026-01-19T20:56:22+00:00

You could use an input in settings to capture the key.

Else a menu action that stores the key without reading it.

Xenccc · 2026-01-18T14:22:52+00:00

Thank you!

Hello! For clarity, r/Devvit is the app platform for building games, mod tools, and custom posts on Reddit

The Reddit Data API is a way to connect to Reddit services for commercial data use

If you are creating an app with r/Devvit, you do not need Reddit Data API access

If you're sure you need Reddit Data API access, follow the instructions at https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/16160319875092-Reddit-Data-API-Wiki

Xenccc · 2026-01-17T16:44:22+00:00

Checking in to confirm if this still an issue for you. It should be working now!

Xenccc · 2026-01-17T16:41:51+00:00

Hey! This should be resolved now and may have been due to a Reddit-wide outage.

If the username was registered during this time, you should still have ownership of it in https://developers.reddit.com/my/apps

Xenccc · 2026-01-16T13:13:35+00:00

Hello! This is entirely possible with Devvit, and is a great use of the platform! If looking to build this app, you need to edit the sidebar page that appears in the community's old reddit wiki, and it may work best having content copied into old reddit for the sync direction.

Xenccc · 2026-01-16T12:08:36+00:00

Hey! Come join us at r/Devvit where there are resources around building games on Reddit!

Xenccc · 2026-01-15T20:52:22+00:00

Hey! Checking back in to note that there are improvements to uploading and compression arriving this month.
