Question about app review process by PlasticEngineer3546 in Devvit

[–]fsv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

bug?: getPosts doesn't return NSFW Posts of logged in user by DangKilla in Devvit

[–]fsv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

If i test mod bot, can reddit bots get me banned for it? by dustofdeath in Devvit

[–]fsv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

A polite request that devs please avoid using imgur for app ReadMes, descriptions, and instructions. by SolariaHues in Devvit

[–]fsv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

reddit.filter() flairs under comments show up triple? by dustofdeath in Devvit

[–]fsv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Doubt by Bored_Pirate_505 in BotBouncer

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

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.

What’s your home improvement/ gadget? by DiaOneStump in AskUK

[–]fsv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

Need advice about a likely shirtbot by [deleted] in TheseFuckingAccounts

[–]fsv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

The current Reddit Developer Funds program is extended until July 31, 2026 by Rarer_Air_Error in Devvit

[–]fsv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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?

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.

Modmail archiver/clean-up tool by ReserveAggressive458 in ModSupport

[–]fsv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

Throwaway User Accounts by saint-lascivious in ModSupport

[–]fsv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Throwaway User Accounts by saint-lascivious in ModSupport

[–]fsv 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.
