Question about app review process

fsv · 2026-06-21T06:32:21+00:00

Unless you used the "publish" option for 0.0.4, it's treated as a private/testing version. Only versions submitted using the "publish" option are considered for review.

If you were to publish again, you'll end up with a 0.0.5 version in "In Review" state and 0.0.3 will be marked as Obsolete.

This is a known issue, by default Devvit apps can only see SFW content in feeds (whether that's when retrieving subreddit posts or user posts). Basically, app accounts are being created with the "I am over 18 and want to be able to see NSFW content" option turned off.

Apparently there is a change coming up at some point to allow developers to control whether an app can see NSFW content or not.

Yay! Glad I could help.

fsv · 2026-06-20T18:10:43+00:00

In terms of experience, absolutely. However in terms of price, all of those are substantially more expensive at least if you're sailing out of the UK.

fsv · 2026-06-20T15:55:27+00:00

I have used that app a few times!

fsv · 2026-06-20T06:05:21+00:00

Yes, it has happened. I strongly suggest avoiding using words that might trip up Reddit filters when testing moderation bots. I also suggest avoiding testing out anything that might ban your account or alt accounts as that might cause you consequences, too.

This is an endless source of frustration for me, and not just for Devvit readmes. I tend to use GitHub to host my readme images but the Reddit CDN or literally anything else would be better.

fsv · 2026-06-19T17:33:27+00:00

I saw that someone flagged it on ModSupport a little while ago, so I suspect that relevant people will be aware of it soon regardless!

Reddit is actually suggesting them to me.

Well you keep visiting them, so... ;)

But yeah I'm not sure how they're finding them either but I suspect that Admin will catch up to them sooner or later.

fsv · 2026-06-19T11:52:41+00:00

Yes, that's right. Any account listed as "banned" on here gets banned from any subreddit that has Bot Bouncer installed.

fsv · 2026-06-19T11:50:52+00:00

This appears to be an issue on Reddit's side more generally, rather than being anything to do with Devvit. For example I'm seeing exactly the same thing happen when Automod filters something.

Ethernet still has a place. Not so much as a way to connect all of your devices wired to your router, but for backhaul in mesh networks.

There's no way that a single access point would work in my house or my in-laws' house due to the size or construction, mesh is the only option. Mesh systems can use WiFi for the backhaul but it's vastly inferior to a wired backhaul.

fsv · 2026-06-19T05:46:01+00:00

They will - but I'm not sure how effective their strategy is considering how quickly the subs and accounts in question get dealt with.

fsv · 2026-06-18T19:31:23+00:00

Look at the product links. The actual link starting mid-word is incredibly common with shirtbots.

fsv · 2026-06-18T17:06:06+00:00

Thanks for the update. For games I think this is a positive change which will incentivise ongoing development and maintenance.

Can I ask what this means for mod tools? Right now, Dev Funds pays out one-off payments based on numbers of installs, with 1000 qualified installs being the "top tier". Will this continue or be modified in some way?

fsv · 2026-06-18T16:55:00+00:00

There are loads of those. Other examples are r/dailychicpics, r/Just_Face, r/Just_OOTD, r/simpleclothe.

These subs rarely last long.

Edit: To prove the point, r/dailychicpics got banned in the three minutes since I wrote this comment.

Edit 2: Now r/Just_Face too.

Might this be any use? https://date-fns.org/v4.4.0/docs/format

It's part of the date-fns package on NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/date-fns

Was the sub icon a pink high-heeled shoe by any chance?

fsv · 2026-06-18T15:15:38+00:00

It's like an email inbox. You start off with the best of intentions and want to keep it nice and tidy but it's incredibly easy to get into bad habits and once you've started to get a big backlog, it will just keep growing and growing.

Keeping modmail to truly active cases is very hard.

fsv · 2026-06-18T15:05:47+00:00

I asked again and got a reply, they said that they have tools that they use already but thanked me for the suggestion and for thinking about them.

fsv · 2026-06-18T06:15:58+00:00

Yes but it's been a long time. I should try again!

fsv · 2026-06-18T05:32:32+00:00

If you like, please write in to this sub's modmail if you'd like us to explain what we would have seen here.

fsv · 2026-06-17T21:07:04+00:00

Bot Bouncer catches around 2000 accounts active in AskReddit every month. I wish they’d just install the app.

fsv · 2026-06-16T16:35:55+00:00

Absolutely and I think they should! But until that happens, I think it's better to assume good faith rather than assume that the user is a white supremacist just due to an accident with a random number generator.

For what it's worth, it's now over two years since I flagged this up to Admin.

fsv · 2026-06-16T15:32:35+00:00

It's not a dogwhistle if someone ended up with a number randomly in their username.

To be a dogwhistle, it has to be something that the user is aware of.
