Important question: Is the mug also dishwasher-safe (i.e. the art won't start peeling off within a couple of washes)?

I'll be requesting access to those features very soon.

How do the external endpoints work between different instances of an app, does it route back to the right subreddit-context based on the short-term token? Is direct install-to-install communication possible yet?

hi

I've also been using the Reddit CDN to host any Devvit- or Reddit-related images. I have an unpublished test app with a menu item that shows an image upload form specifically for that purpose.

It's called the Fluff Principle, content that's easier to digest gets more votes and naturally floats to the top. It's one of the reasons many subreddits disallow memes and disable images/GIFs in comments.

PitchforkAssistant

It's not a perfect solution, but I have a bookmarklet for swapping between Shreddit and Old Reddit that I use all the time. It does its best to automatically translate the different URI schemes between the two, which isn't always possible without loss, but most of the time it lets me one-click swap between Old and Shreddit versions of a page.

Indeed and just so OP doesn't have to take our word for it, here's an old comment from /u/reddit confirming as much.

PitchforkAssistant

I wonder what will happen if you upload a version with devvit.json and a profile icon but then go back to devvit.yaml. Will the last icon stick or will it get cleared?

PitchforkAssistant

That is indeed the feature I'm suggesting. The screen recording isn't actually edited, but there is a hidden post that the menu item is sending a message to make it expand. I believe it something similar is being considered.

PitchforkAssistant

Any updates on this one? It still appears to lack a bulk toggle on both Shreddit and Android.

PitchforkAssistant

hi

PitchforkAssistant

No, it is not possible to hook into the Reddit UI like that. The closest you can get is either reacting to the ModMail trigger when the message is received or you can create your own button in the subreddit dropdown with a custom message form (that being said, you can't hide the default message the mods option).

PitchforkAssistant

Is this type of change planned for any other IDs? Posts IDs in particular come to mind, since you probably don't want those to be predictable either.

PitchforkAssistant

I would hope that any such regexes allow for increased ID lengths as long as they're still valid base 36, matching up until the next slash or end of string. Otherwise time would've also broken such apps when the IDs grew large enough to need extra digits.

PitchforkAssistant

Zero width space makes the best variable name

I've sent you a message on Discord elaborating further, but I'd like to apply to be a judge for this category. I am both a moderator and have a great understanding of Devvit's capabilities and limitations, so I believe I could judge both the utility and implementation of the apps.

PitchforkAssistant

Chart 21 seems to break down the actions that were taken, but it's a total of 14829 actions, so it's clearly counting each individual action that was taken.

I'm curious how many of the 878 investigations lead to any serious action being taken and how many MCoC reports were submitted that didn't require deeper investigation in the first place.

PitchforkAssistant

I believe there's already an app for timed AutoModerator rules, but Devvit apps can't currently interact with post or comment guidance in any way.
