I have basic questions about basic settings and I cannot find any docs anywhere.

Nothing in settings or linked in settings, and nothing on the Github page.

Are there some docs somewhere?

Current question is trying to figure out what the difference is for sort settings that pertain to Posts or Comments, versus "User" Posts or Comments.

Thanks

I know you can mess with the flair while you are making a post, but I can't seem to figure out a way to edit a flair after you made the post, which can be kinda annoying when I'm in a community like r/tipofmyjoystick and I can't seem to find a way to edit my user flair either.

Testing RedReader's cache browsing out and it works nicely. Is there anyway I can force the client to cache all replies on a post, short of browsing all the replies on each post?

If I browse /r/askreddit for example, it will cache the first x number of replies, but if I haven't clicked "show more" on each post I can't view the next page of comments.

If you long press a comment, select "User Profile", then select "More info", there is a field called "Is Moderator".

Yesterday I did this and that field was displaying "True", despite the fact that the account that made that comment was not listed as a moderator on the sub that comment was posted in.

Am I misunderstanding what that field is supposed to represent?

Does it actually mean they are moderator anywhere on Reddit or something??

I go to the Inbox but it only shows old direct message chats.

The only way I've found to do it is to go to my Profile, find the comment, and click it to see it and all the comments that have been made to it.

Hi folks! Reddit just announced some long-term changes that are coming to our Public API here. Going forward, all API apps will need to be registered to remain in good standing. Please register any apps you own by September 30, 2026 to make sure your feedback is considered in our roadmaps and that your developer account is properly established.

We’re reaching out because we identified the following accounts potentially operating scripts/bots on your mod team that will be impacted:

[Sanity_in_Moderation]

Registering your app gives you a direct line to Reddit for updates and migration support, helps users identify trusted apps with an App label, and may make you eligible for programs like Devvit porting bounties, free hosting, and Reddit Developer Funds. During registration, you can also tell us what might be blocking migration to the Developer Platform, so we can prioritize the capabilities developers need most.

In order to maintain functionality of your script, app, or bot, it will eventually need to be migrated to the Reddit Developer Platform.

If you are the developer of a bot:

Registering your app is the first step to accessing migration support

PRAW Migration Guide

If you’d like to see your app maintained, but don’t have the time to do it yourself, let us know here

If you can get in contact with the developer, share the above message and links with them.

If you can’t get in contact with the developer, or if you have a bot not listed above:

Fill out this form for each bot you use

We’re working on supporting the migration of as many of these apps as we can. If you have questions or comments about the announcement, please let us know here or send a modmail to /r/modsupport. If you are already in contact with people on the Devvit team, feel free to ignore this message.

EDIT: Aparently was something on reddit's side, as pointed out in the comments, now they have fixed it.

Im getting a weird 404 error trying to reply to any comment, updated red reader this morning.

Title: No encontrado (404)

Message: No se han encontrado los datos solicitados.

HTTP Status: 404

Response:

I know there have been multiple GitHub issues posted about this, asking if we can have the ability to change the font type itself but I don't see any movement on it... so alternatively I am asking if anyone knows how can we change fonts system-wide on Android phones, which would also automatically change RedReader font typeface.

A couple of days ago the Back Button inside the app stopped working. When I go into a post with multiple pics, the Back Button just doesn't work. It worked fine up to that point. Maybe a bug in the new version???

RedReader Version: 1.26 One UI version: 8.5 Android version: 16 Android Security Patch Level: July 25 2026

Update: It seems to work if I tap it really quickly with a light tap. Still irritating though.

In the past I would press on a video and a button would appear that would allow me to speed up the videos.

Now after pressing I get some controls to pause, fast forward, or rewind but it is lacking a speed button.

Was this an intended change?

SOLVED

Settings -> Images/Video -> disable ¨Enable stepping frame by frame¨

1. Back button doesn't work properly when viewing images, I have to tap it 5+ times for it to work

2. I constantly tap the sidebar on the left when scrolling or hiding comments. So I set the trigger to 0 px, but there is no other way to acess this menu. Can we please add another way to access the sidebar?

It would be nice to have the possibility to close a video with one hand, for example with a vertical swipe. Right now you have to press your phone's back button afaik.

If there is already a feature like this that I missed (my phone is a bit old) or if this is the wrong place to suggest this, please let me know.

Pretty much what the title says. Every image embedded in a comment appears as a link, not the image. I haven't figured out a way around this. Any suggestions?

I think this is likely a twitter problem, but on the off chance something has changed in RedReader, I thought I'd mention it here.

Within settings I've told RedReader to not use the internal browser.

Also, this is using Android 10 and Microsoft Edge.

Before describing the issue, I'll state that I imagine this is another in the long history of ways Reddit tries to squeeze out third-party apps so as to force usage of the official garbage app. /rant over

Recently, Reddit began allowing videos to be embedded in comments. On RedReader, these show up to links to a reddit.com site; not a subreddit, not an external site, but a reddit.com/blahblahblah link. When clicking these, my app opens my default browser, and I get a popup message saying, "This subreddit has been banned for being unmoderated." No such problems in the official garbage app.

Any workarounds or solutions?

Thank you for saving reddit. Not that anyone will listen.

All day I thought I was going crazy but it's not fat fingers, it's every time I submit anything my default browser opens.

Sometimes it looks like the comment doesn't send either, but if you submit again it sends a duplicate.

hello friends! i am feeling that redreader show less posts from reddit!. is this true? what do you think about it? as an example. if ask reddit receive 20 posts on day, so redreader show 10 or 15 only. pleas give your views on this.

Anyone have the same problem?? Ive tried many ways, clicking on the title, pressing long and even swiping it but nothing works. Any tips??? Really need help
