Desktop How do I see the list of people that I've followed on the desktop web app?

Just like how users have a "Following" section in the side pop up, I don't see one on the web app reddit.com. So how do I see the list of people I'm following?

Reddit Premium I randomly have Reddit Premium even though I did not purchase it? What this gifted by Reddit? They usually let us know via PM...

Hello everyone,

I was curious if Reddit was doing a promotion where they gave us a free year of Reddit Premium, just like when they gave us a free subscription to Optery a couple of years back? Does anyone know anything about this? I didn't get a PM from an admin as usual stating we got a free year of Reddit Premium and I did not see any posts about it under r/modevents.

Thank you.

Access Password reset succeeds but login still says "invalid username or password" on all devices for my main account (u/outtasight68) (Desktop and Mobile)

3 Upvotes

I am completely locked out of my main account, u/outtasight68, due to a persistent password reset loop and could really use some help or admin advice. I go through the official password reset process and when I try to log in using that exact new password, it rejects it and gives me the "invalid username or password" error. This is happening across all devices. I have tried logging in via the official Android app, desktop browsers, and mobile browsers, but the result is exactly the same everywhere. I've also tried clearing my app cache and using incognito mode to rule out a local browser issue, but it seems to be an issue on Reddit's backend where the new password isn't actually updating the account credentials.

I am posting this from my alternative account, u/outtasight647. Has anyone else run into this type of issue recently? Is there an admin who can help manually refresh/sync the account profile for u/outtasight68?

Resolved Unfollowing Someone

3 Upvotes

I accidentally followed another user, apparently (it's in my "my subreddits" list), and can't figure out how to unfollow them.

I use old-reddit exclusively, and when I do a search on how to unfollow someone, the "unfollow" button that I'm supposed to be seeing isn't there. I assume if I can "follow" someone in old-reddit, I can also unfollow them?

Posting How to force an indent

3 Upvotes

It is imperative for me to publish a recipe with indented ingredients.

Is there any way to force/code an indent for a single line/sentence?

someone suggested "4 spaces" that doesn't seem to work. using 7 spaces to create a 3 space indent doesn't work.

Desktop Constant "We have encountered an error. Please try again later."

3 Upvotes

It's been like this for ages. I've tried logging in and out. I've tried multiple browsers. Nothing works. The only thing that works is going to old reddit. Anytime I'm on new reddit 99/100 times I'm getting a red banner at the top that says "We have encountered an error. Please try again later." and when that errors is displayed you can't interact with any content.

Posting I have a new account, and why are so many recent comments by [deleted] users? Why does the comment algorithm recommend so many of them? [Desktop, iOS, iPadOS]

Post image
3 Upvotes

Yesterday, randomly, I lost access to my 10+ year old account and so I created a new one and started subbing to most of the same subs I've traditionally used, just starting fresh.

With my new account, an overwhelming amount of comments that I see on posts are by [deleted] users, with posts rarely more than an hour or two old. I'd see [deleted] users occassionally but usually on older threads that I discover through Google, or whatever. There are recent threads, news worthy threads, where every post and every reply are [deleted] users. Is this a bug? Are these bots? I assume this is the comment recommendation algorithm, what choices are made in designing the recommendation algorithm for me that would bubble up dozens and dozens of comments, and their subsequent nested replies, with all [deleted] user accounts.

Screenshot is an example it's some random news article today about the Sec. of Defense possibly running for Senate in Tennessee.

I haven't had a new reddit account in ... 10 years, so is this common for every new account? I had assumed these were bots, but if there are... hundreds of posts and replies that are all just bots, and tha's the new user experience? It's weird.

Access Hacked account

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My Reddit account was compromised in September. After I regained control, I opened a ticket through Reddit Help with the details.

The only reply so far came from a no-reply address, asking me to answer with keywords like "NOT MY ACCOUNT" or "NO PASSWORD RESET EMAIL". None of them fit my situation, and several weeks later I still haven't heard from a person.

**Has anyone managed to get a hacked-account ticket looked at by a human? Is there a way to get a ticket escalated or reopened?**

Thanks for any tips.

Profile [Desktop website] My profile picture keeps going off-centre.

2 Upvotes

I haven’t used Reddit in nearly a decade, so bear with me.

I’ve been trying to set a profile picture since I don’t like the default ones, but it keeps going off-center for some reason. I’ve tried multiple fixes and the only thing they do is go in different directions.

Is there a way to fix this or at least use a template that makes the off-centre feeling less obvious? Because my Snoo wont stop leaning to the left.

Access Fui hackeado.

• Upvotes

Recentemente, recebi um e-mail de que tinha alguém tentando entrar na minha conta. Quando fui fazer a troca de senha, já não conseguia mais, o e-mail foi alterado e a senha também. Eu ainda consigo logar na conta pois está automático no meu celular, mas não consigo receber nenhum e-mail para alterar nem a senha e nem o email. Estou preso com um hacker maldito. O pior é que ele fica fazendo posts em comunidades de conteúdo para adultos, se oferecendo como uma mulher de 21 anos, que fica pedindo para todos adiciona-la no Snapchat.

Em todas as tentativas de contado com a equipe do Reddit, em nenhum momento consegui com sucesso, pois acredito que todos os e-mails estão indo para o e-mail do hacker. Como me livrar dessa situação?

So I’m not sure what to do her. My main account u/Cryptid_artie, is currently unable to be accessed. I swore I had it linked to my main email AND password but every password I try won’t get me into the account. I made this account when I didn’t understand Reddit so I made my main account abour 3 years ago and now I can’t access it. I’ve tried every email, every password, and I still can’t access it. I try to send a recovery email and nothing. I’m genuinely so lost on what to do. Am I hopeless?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I've run into some issues with my main account I have never seen before and sent two requests under "can't access my account" and "password issues" in Reddit support forms, but that was about 4 weeks ago and I have not heard back.
What can I expect if they do get back, especially for login issues

Access 2FA Enabled without authorization

1 Upvotes

Got an email in the middle of the night that 2FA was enabled on my long term Reddit account. I was able to reset the password but still wasn’t able to gain access because of the 2FA. I already submitted the form on Reddit’s website to make them aware and see if they could help.

Has anyone else gone through this? How long does it normally take to get a resolution and/or a response?

Access Hijacked 23 Oct, locked out today. Reset works, new password doesn’t on all devices. u/ChipsAhoy21

1 Upvotes

Hi r/help,

I am the owner of u/ChipsAhoy21 (May 2015, verified email). I wanted to put the timeline in one place in case a moderator or admin can take a look. I already went through password reset. That part is not the question.

On Friday 23 Oct, from about 10:12 AM to 6:10 PM PT (17:11 UTC through 01:10 UTC on the 24th), someone used a stolen session on this account. They put up 319 spam posts and 11 comments from 45.134.92.34. That IP has never shown up in my Reddit login history. My password still worked, which is how I got back in.

Once I was in, I deleted all of that spam, hid the chat threads from that window, and left the NSFW communities they used. I also filed Help Center tickets for the compromise and to have the NSFW tag taken off the profile.

This afternoon (26 Oct) I was signed out of every device. Login says the password is wrong. I get the reset email, I set a new password, and that password is still rejected. I have tried the newest link, typing it by hand, and signing in with the username rather than the email.

The public profile is still there, so this does not look like a . I just cannot log in.

If someone on staff can lift whatever lock is on u/ChipsAhoy21 and restore login to the email already on the account, I would really appreciate it. Happy to send the IP, timestamps, and ticket details in modmail.

Thanks,
u/ChipsAhoy21

I’ve had this Reddit account now for I believe nearly 3 months. But surely at least 2. Why does my profile still show only 1 month of age?

I lost my old account and so I made this one. It’s not really a big deal, but every time I make a comment or post, people start accusing me of being a bot because of my account age. It’s hella annoying. Anyways thanks for your help with this

Mobile Web Votes Question - iOS

1 Upvotes

Curious:

Why is it that in some threads — you see the normal obligatory one vote that you automatically get just for posting something (along with all the other votes that are there as well). And then all the votes (negative and/or positive) next to everybody that replied.

But then there are other threads where there is no obligatory first vote for the original poster…. And there’s no votes for any of the replies below either. It just says: VOTE with the up and down arrow on either side…?

It’s not because somebody was downvoted because in that case it would’ve had a 0 next to it.

It seems to happen randomly and I can’t figure out why. At first I thought that voting was turned off for that specific thread but eventually if I go back to it, everything comes back. Is that a glitch?

I hope that made sense. lol
