Desktop For You Page has returned, How can I remove?

271 Upvotes

The for you page on my home feed has returned. I want to remove it. I don't want pages I'm not subscribed to showing up on my home feed at all. This is something that I've commented on before.

Additionally, there's no longer the Hot sorting on my home page feed, it's just Best and New? Best sucks, and makes me quit out of reddit pretty consistently.

Overall, something has updated with the reddit feed, and it's seemingly been done to make me annoyed, which is a choice. Please revert or fix.

Access Can no longer sort by top and a timeframe on the home page?

60 Upvotes

I used to go through the top posts of the week of all the subs I'm in in aggregate every week by sorting by 'Top' and 'Week' on the home page, now the option for top is gone unless I'm on a particular subreddit. Anyone else have this issue?

Mobile Web Homepage now showing recommendations! I don't want recommendations.

41 Upvotes

I'm purposely not subscribe to any subreddit and before today my Reddit home page had nothing on it which I liked, for some reason today it has a bunch of recommended crap that I don't want to see.

I don't want Reddit to push or force content on me.

Is there a way to disable this? As I do not see an options in settings.

Edit 1: I tagged this incorrectly it applies to desktop and mobile web.

Edit 2: Here's a workaround i found to stop this but requires you're running firefox with Ublock origin. Go to ublock origin settings, My Filters and add this:

www.reddit.com##+js(trusted-click-element, #feed-tab-2)
www.reddit.com###interest-home-feed-main[data-faceplate-tracking-context*="for-you"] shreddit-feed

This blocks it on my desktop, i'll try on mobile and report back. - Confirmed, this works on mobile firefox as well.

Desktop Stop Suggested Posts

20 Upvotes

I've had the suggested Posts and Communities/Groups turned off for some time now.

Suddenly, they're back on,
and I don't see the option to turn them off again.

Control over feed matters.

This is def. a deal breaker and why I left other social media platforms, tbh.

EDIT

Found the issue:

"FOR YOU" tab has now been enabled and I have to manually click to "MY FEED"

This is a feature they've been doing a selective roll-out on, apparently.

Desktop Subs you are prevented from interacting with from show up in "For You"

17 Upvotes

The "For You" page is showing posts from a sub that I've been blocked from interacting with. I have no desire to post there, reply, join it, or follow that post as I am otherwise prevented from interacting with that sub.

Showing posts from subs that I cannot interact with is a frustrating user experience reminding me of unhappier times.

Desktop How do I get sort by hot back??

15 Upvotes

The new "For You" is absolutely only for ad buyers, not me.

The Following is giving me days old and zero karma posts.

Why even took Hot sort away?? If it's too good so Reddit hates it, then be assured it's only marginally better then New and Best.

This is beyond dumb.

I'm for some reason now getting posts from random subreddits I'm not currently in/following, even though I specifically turned the feature off basically when I created the account. Now, looking in my settings I'm not even seeing the option to turn it back off. Did they remove the feature or smth?

Desktop How to hide 'recommended' subreddits?

11 Upvotes

I'm getting subreddits I'm not subscribed to recommended to my personal feed (NOT r/popular) based on things I've browsed in the past few days, and I can't find the setting in my profile to turn that off. Where can I find that setting?
If I wanted to see those subreddits in my personal feed, I would be subscribed to them.

Desktop Where did my sort go on the home tab?

5 Upvotes

I can only sort by 'new, hot, etc.' on the popular tab, but no longer on my home tab. Is there a way to re-activate it?

If this is some A-B testing thing, I absolutely don't want to be a part of it. I don't know why they thought this was a good idea (something something ads, I know).

Profile Why is Reddit suddenly asking for me to verify my profile and asking about my "Organization" when there is none?

4 Upvotes

I've had this Reddit account for years, and now Reddit is suddenly asking me to have a "verified account email" and that it must be an "official email from your organization's domain" and is asking me for supporting documents. What organization? I just have a regular, free Reddit account and I've never been asked this before.

Access Any tips with getting help with a hacked account?

3 Upvotes

Somebody hacked my account, kicked me out and set up 2FA so now I don’t have access to the account. I submitted a ticket for it and I received an email in response with some links that don’t help me because simply resetting my password isn’t going to take the 2FA off. Is there any other way to get in touch with somebody to get this manually reviewed?

Desktop PC web browser - suggestion for r/ that is associated with a steam game.

2 Upvotes

Today, I opened reddit on my PC, the homepage loaded, and I was shown a recommendation for a r/ I have never visited, never clicked into nor ever opened a thread from.

After thinking how it came up, my kid was on my PC earlier, opened Steam, played Civ5 for an hour, and then logged off. (he did not open a web browser).

How did Reddit in a browser that was not open, read my gaming history from Steam, and make a suggestion for this?

Profile I keep finding out I'm subscribed to business related subs

1 Upvotes

As the title says, every week as I browse my FYP I get random posts that are business related and I automatically notice them and go to turn them off with 'not interested' or 'show less' option, but then there's none. So I enter the sub page and to my surprise it appears I'm joined that sub So I leave them. It varies from r/smallbusiness to r/business, or anything in between. I never access these subs. I never had interest in the hassle. And I haven't checked any weird logins or account activity ever.

This has been happening for the past couple of months.

Access Got locked out of account and not getting password reset emails(iOS Phone)

1 Upvotes

My account u/DarthDinkster got logged out on my phone and whenever I try to put in my login info, it tells me it’s incorrect and any password reset emails don’t show up. Weirdly enough, right after I noticed the log out, I checked my email and had 2 new emails from Reddit, one saying that I had 2FA activated on my account despite me not doing anything beforehand and one that asked me to confirm my email address. I’ve already submitted a support ticket, but I honestly have no idea what to do at this point or how long it will take

Posting Sort by post date is missing AKA a software defect

1 Upvotes

The option to sort by new is missing. Is the interface now counterintuitive or is there a software defect? The Third option is this is by design, if that is the case then someone needs to apply the Peter Principle to the programmer.
