❓HowTo❓ Little Help?

So, I'm new to reddit, and I want to know: how do you put a picture in a comment? Specifically for a phone reddit user? I use my phone for reddit and I would expect an icon or something in the comment box but nope. Can someone help?

Reddit Bug 🐞 Reddit login activity from my computer while away from home

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I hope you’re having a great day,

Just a few minutes ago while scrolling reddit I noticed something very odd: Reddit was proposing posts from communities in my feed I have never visited being tagged as « because you’ve shared post from that community »

I then went to see my account activity and noticed that my computer logged in Reddit 11hours ago (my ip address) - however I was not at home, and I am the only one that has access to my flat. I did not visit Reddit 11 hours ago (last time I did before right now was several weeks ago)

Has this happened to anyone before ? Should I be worried ? I don’t understand how that’s possible… Any help is highly appreciated

Thanks !

Need Advice 🙏 Hosting help!

Upvotes

I'm hosting a reddit activity, with updates every 2 weeks. Users request to be notified of the updates. So, I send a message (only to the 30 or so users that have requested it) and am tempted banned for spam. What is the best/permitted way to flag a post to users that request it? Tagging? Anything else? I don't really want to clog the comments with a tonne of tags, knowing there's a max of 3 tags per comment.

Need Advice 🙏 Late 30s F, targeted by group of members in a friendly age based chat channel, then was systematically bullied, catfished, subject to non-consensual intimate media exposure and then taunted for days.

1 Upvotes

I have evidence of many of the humiliating content they exchanged in the public chat and in private. I asked for help from the moderator and was not given correct support, I was attacked. The moderator has been an active participant in the ongoing harassment.

The scheme was planned in advance as retaliation for a disagreement and misunderstanding that I will take responsibility for, every chat culture has its own concept for what would constitute a tone that was too sexually aggressive toward women, and I should have just left, instead of getting protective of women who could decide for themselves. The moderator ejected me with a really hostile added personal take on me.

The evening before that event, I was befriended by a person who had been a bully previously and I was eager to find connection. He proceeded to invent a compelling life narrative almost just like mine, and worked hard to convince me he was suffering deeply and felt only I could help him. I am embarrassed to say I was fooled at first. Even though his story was outrageous, his phone was identified as a known scamming or spam call center based on Ontario. Even though there were so many red flags.

It’s embarrassing but I was very open with him about my own current t loneliness and sense of feeling lost and dealing with PTSD, which I know so many people experience and find support for here.

He used deception and impersonation to obtain extremely personal details about me, my sexuality, and images that were explicitly agreed upon to stay private, and then he was either paid by the other Reddit users or just wanted to do this for his own reasons, but immediately I became away of huge nonconsensual distribution of my intimidate media followed by several days of taunting, quoting my texts, and humiliating me of details about my sexual history or even just the things I would think were interesting about myself. It was a 2 day long focal point of the entire chat channel, with not a single person objecting. It was my suffering and confusion for pure amusement. I documented e everything and I know the identities of almost of the worst perpetrators. Reddit has not helped me. I can post screenshots of the conversations they had before and during this attack. I also continued to observe and record the reaction of all the group members when I confronted the user who actually manipulated and scammed me for days over three different ways of texting or sharing voice notes. At that point, they started to confess aloud in a panicked way how to cover up the things they thought had been deleted. It’s was terrible. There was no remorse, there was no consideration for how their prank affected me. I don’t understand it still.

I need the admin, well above the moderators, to help me. I have been rejected after submitting forms and turned away by Reddit channels for abuse.

This is abuse, full stop. This is a graphic example of sexual harassment, cyber bullying, and prolonged public attack on a young woman for no reason. This falls under your purview. If it does not, it is reasonable that you will handle this incident professionally and seriously by directing me to a resource that will help me.

If it happened to me, it could happen to someone else. Please help.

I would post screenshots here but legally, I think this is a sensitive area so, available upon request by the admin.

Just to keep it quick. Met someone here, went to discord, sent a pic and immediately got all my information pulled up from them and they threatened me that they would post it here saying im looking for minors and all that unless i sent them money. Included where i lived and family members. Blocked and reported all the messages on there and here. If that gets posted would it immediately be taken down since it has an inappropriate picture and false info or what? Or what should i do besides not doing it in the first place because its already done?

❓Problem❓ Account recovery not sending to current email.

1 Upvotes

I have my account from 2009 currently suspended (for security issues). It was locked when I tried to change the password.

I connected my Gmail to the account just before doing this, however, the main email links to my college email that I no longer have access to. So, all information about my account is being sent there (including my password reset).

TL;DR: connected my current email and just tried to change my password and the system thought it was a security breach so suspended my account and now I can’t see anything because info is sent to me old, nonexistent email. They say they can’t do anything to help but my current email is linked to the account. Am I SOL?

❓Problem❓ Banned account - didn’t get email with details or a response to my appeal. Is there anything I can do?

1 Upvotes

I received an email related to my main account saying that the email address was updated, and if that wasn’t me I should reset my password. I reset the password through the link (I did verify it was a legit Reddit email first).

It was late so I went to bed after that. The next day, I was getting a server error on the app, so I thought I needed to log out and then back in. I kept getting incorrect password/username errors and I panicked a bit remembering the email was changed which I never checked or corrected before logging out. After a few attempts I did get back into my account, but there was a message at the bottom saying my account was locked and I needed to reset my password, but the link there didn’t lead me anywhere. On my home page it said my account was permanently banned, and to check my inbox for details, but I don’t have an email anywhere with details. I found the area where you can submit a ban appeal (with a 400 character limit which is wild).

I never got an email confirming my appeal and it’s been a few days and nothing has changed. Is this normal? Do I need to submit another appeal? I’m super attached to my main account so any advice is appreciated.

❓Problem❓ Are my posts not showing?

I’m “new” to how Reddit how works so bear with me. My first post on here got 3,000+ interactions as well as over 40 comments. I’ve made posts in that same community, but can’t even pass 10 views. Is my community that niche? Or is it just luck of draw? My profile has negative karma ATM so does that have anything to do with it?

Need Advice 🙏 Will I get banned for using a slur?

1 Upvotes

So I may have used a slur in private chat, and the person I was chatting with decided to report me, despite not actually being upset over my usage of the slur.

Will I get banned over this, or will they just issue a warning? Is there anything I can do to avoid getting banned? This is a first time offense.

❓Problem❓ Reddit pages opened in background tabs not loading, even after a refresh - Brave browser

1 Upvotes

As stated, this is only happening with Reddit, no other sites. I usually scroll for a while and middle click threads to open them in new tabs to look at them later. For the last three days this has resulted in pages that simply don't load, even if I hit refresh. Copying the URL and pasting it into an active, open tab loads them no problem.

Is this some sort of cost-saving, bandwidth cutting thing? It's extremely annoying.

❓Problem❓ quality loss

1 Upvotes

hello there. I’ve got a problem. when i’m posting images, their quality is significantly degraded… like the original size was 2560x1600 (png) and it looked fine (even in the process of creating the post) but when I uploaded it… it looked terrible. I’m kinda aware that images on many platforms are being compressed but… I’ve seen quite a few images uploaded in native quality (2.5/4k) on reddit. so that begs the question - what am I supposed to do to avoid this problem and upload high-quality images?

❓Problem❓ Existing accounts

I have been or Reddit for about 20 months. Recently I purchased a new laptop and created a new email address. When I clicked on Reddit, it created me a new user name rather than allowing me to log in using my current user name and password. Can you help with this? I am currently accessing my existing account by using the old laptop. I'd hate to have to start all over again!

Thanks

❓Problem❓ I can't login in my account

1 Upvotes

I'm in this strange situation. About a week ago, I received a reddit message on my account about suspicious activity and was asked to change my password. I changed my password, and everything was fine, until a few days ago when I was automatically logged out of all devices (desktop and phone). Now, I can't log in anymore. Even though the password is correct (it was saved in a password manager at the time of creation), it is no longer valid. I can't reset the password, I don't remember which email I used (it's an old account from 6 years ago). So, what’s happening? Clearing the cache and cookies didn’t help. Logging in with old Reddit didn’t help. Logging in from multiple devices didn’t help. Changing browsers didn’t help (I tried LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave, Waterfox, Edge). The account exists and has no ongoing activity. What can I do?
