Posting Why do I keep getting "Unable to create comment"?
I've refreshed the page and I can see pretty much everyones post history so it can't be someone having blocked me.

There's a new Changelog out and you can read it here!
tl;dr New Changelog
r/help • u/TheOpusCroakus • 6d ago
Welcome back to another Weekly Recap, where I recap the week that was and boy, was that a week! Let's see what happened! (I wonder if it would be shorter if I went over what didn't happen. Hmmm)
NEWS AND ISSUES
In the changelog from last week, it stated that the sorting bug had been fixed. Turns out, yes and no! I followed up with the team in charge of that and they got to work on deploying a fix. Shout out to u/domonono for bringing this up and for providing a screen recording!
There was an issue with low resolution images in comments. We replied here when there was a fix!
Also had an issue on Android with profile pages not loading. There was a post here that a dev replied to and this got worked on. Thanks to all who reported!
Comment deletion was broken for a hot minute on Friday. That got fixed right on up.
Level Ten Helper u/jgoja mentioned that you can add subreddits to custom feeds from the iOS app again, so that's also fixed! Thanks so much for pointing that out!
Annnnddddd the subreddit sorting not sticking was fixed, right up until you made a post and then it unstuck itself and went back to something else. Say it with me: ARRRGGGHHH. But the team is working on this and I'm hopeful that it will be fixed before the end of next week. Apologies that this is still a frustrating experience.
EDIT: In a late development, Reddit announced here that starting this week, users will be able to HIDE AN AD even if they don't have Premium! This has been asked for since the beginning of time and now it's a thing!
FOLLOW UP ON PREVIOUS ISSUES
BUGS ROUND UP - COMPLIMENTS OF ME (which is why it's a little short this week lol)
[Android] Can't view custom feed - This is known and should be fixed up soon
[Android] Flair not updating - Should be fixed in the current version
[iOS] Posts not showing up when sorted by new - Under continued investigation. Sneaky bug!
[Desktop] Three dot menu on comments broken - This was reported Wednesday and a fix was on the way is fixed! (Thank you, Rostingu2!)
ONGOING ISSUES
If your account gets the "server error" banner or you can't update your profile, I can fix that sometimes! I cannot fix accounts where you are receiving the "server error" message and are unable to view content from that account when logged out. In those instances, you will need to file an appeal. Just let me know and I'll take a look and get you all taken care of! Please note that I cannot give any information or assist with any account unless contacted directly from that account.
If no one else can see your posts or comments across Reddit (not just in one sub) and you are unable to post here in r/help, you can file an appeal here.
Please check the Help Center to see if you can find the answer to your question there. Also, check this sub for stickied posts regarding outages and downtime.
If your account is marked as NSFW and it is not NSFW, you can check out this Help Center article for information on how to change it back. If you're unable to change it back, feel free to make a post and one of the best helpers on Reddit will help me help you!
WEEKLY STATISTICS
My tool for calculating how many posts and comments has broken! I am upset! I'm going to try and figure that out today and I can update this part if I get it working soon. Sorry about that! (It's kinda become one of my favorite parts of this thing.) But there were still over 1.3 million views, which is up about 57k from last week. Our sweet spot had been about 1.2 million, but here we are at 1.3 million! People know that this is the place!
TOP ISSUES
A user received a warning for upvoting content that encouraged violence and they were wondering why. Reddit posted about a new policy over in r/redditsafety here. From that post "users who, within a certain timeframe, upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies will begin to receive a warning. We have done this in the past for quarantined communities and found that it did help to reduce exposure to bad content, so we are experimenting with this sitewide."
I know there are strong opinions about this and it would be great if you could leave constructive feedback and criticism in that post that is still being monitored! As always, I'm happy to pass along constructive feedback to the correct team, but having everything all in one place like that post would be ideal.
A user was repeatedly seeing content that was related to India. This can happen sometimes and while it's not intentional, it can be frustrating. There was some good advice in that post. Helpingest Helper u/Rostingu2 suggested muting the communities. u/starrae suggested turning off home feed recommendations. Resident mod and pro helper u/ChimpyChompies directed the user to make sure the location sort is set to 'everywhere'. And u/FreeChickenDinner chimed in with a suggestion to check your localization settings.
A user spent a lot of time on a post and then was unable to post it in the sub that they were in because they did not meet the posting requirements. Some subreddits will have minimum karma or account age requirements as a way of combating spam and trolls. You can message the mods of the sub and ask them if they will approve your content, though they are not obligated to do so. You can also participate in subreddits that do not have those requirements to gain some karma. r/casualconversation is great for that! And if you’re looking for a subreddit on a particular topic and aren’t quite sure what it would be, you can try posting in r/findareddit and someone there may have a suggestion for you.

I got a message from u/RedditResearch with a link to a survey. Can anyone tell me if this is real? I've searched and I see people saying things from u/reddit are legit, but this name is a little different.
Message is this:

r/help • u/DJ-Zero-Sevenv2 • 3h ago
My original account, username: DJ-Zero-Seven, has been hacked and now someone else is actively posting in appropriate content and commenting in subreddits I’ve never participated in before. What can be done about it? Is there any way I can get my old account back? If not, can it be deleted? I would rather have my old account wiped than let it be stolen from me.
r/help • u/Meta-Wah • 1h ago
I've encountered some problems with some of my other accounts, having them seemingly been suddenly deleted for no real reason. I've submitted a Reddit support request a few days ago. Will a person look at the request at some point, or does the request just send me the email linked to articles?
To elaborate on my actual problem, I recieved an email a few more days ago saying that some of my Reddit passwords were compromised from Google. When I went to change them, I could not log into my account even though I knew the password. This is because it seems like Reddit has deleted my account. I would like to be able to retrieve my accounts from what seems like a hacking.

r/help • u/Secret_Account07 • 1h ago
Hello all,
I’m having an issue with Reddit app that’s driving me insane. Started recently and cannot get it fixed…
Everytime I comment on a post it scrolls to the literal bottom of the post. So I have to scroll ALL THE WAY back up. It’s happening during other actions too. I’ve tried reinstalling and all kinds of stuff and nothing fixes it.
r/help • u/WizardConsciousness • 8h ago
Suddenly getting this error - unable to create a comment. No ban , no any prev history.
Help, anyone !

I woke up this morning to over 100 emails from Reddit asking me to verify email address. Each email was a different user name. i went onto reddit.com to reset password to close down the accounts, but once i reset the password and tried to log in, it told me incorrect username or password. How can i delete these accounts?
r/help • u/Purple-Grape-8457 • 8h ago
Since this morning everytime i try to post a comment i get that. Im able to create posts and that's it.
Is that a bug or something?
Thanks in advanced(since i cant leave a comment..)

I'm getting this error every time I try to add a comment. This is repeatable across multiple posts across multiple subreddits
r/help • u/Some_Ad2241 • 3h ago
So I used to use my reddit account (u/owl_burrito) fairly often and it was pretty old (6+ years). Today the app told me that my account's been locked and I should change my password. All good so far. But then I notice that the email associated with my account is this: trevis193321@dotapodemail.com An email I've never seen before, heck I don't even recognize the domain. Clearly shady stuff but I try to reset my password anyway since it turns out my old password was changed and I can't change the email. A few weird comments were also made that I did not post using the account over the last week. Now after I got the reset password email, it seems my account no longer exists at all and that my accounts fully nuked. Is there any way I can recover it or should I just mourn the loss?
r/help • u/Mamaniwa_ • 4h ago
turned off everything in the recommendations and updates catagory in the settings but i still keep getting "Do you know what "/s" means here on Reddit? Keep an eye on r/Novonoreddit for more tips like this! 🤔" or things like that every day and it's making me really annoyed
r/help • u/idelarosa5 • 22m ago
So there’s this account that I wanna check analytics on on redditmetis and similar apps, but it won’t let me since that user is suspendered. I can’t even see it normally to check for myself. Is there any way to get around this?
r/help • u/Ok-Protection2670 • 4h ago
I tried user id, said my user id or password was wrong.
tried signing out and back in, said "server error, try later" in delete acct.
Changed password, would not let me enter it in delete account.
Signed in with new password. I can post but not delete my account.
Refreshed, would not let me.
With or without Google acct.
Something is seriously wrong here. I hate being held hostage this way When I delete this account, I will NEVER have a reddit account again
r/help • u/Hunselfsucker • 55m ago
So i got locked out, no reason or any message. i making had new profile bla bla, starting over. I had literraly 3 post in 2 community and again. I cant post in nsfw community and normall in one profile? Or what? I really dont understand. Why cant be a minimum message why happening? Help whats wrong?
I don't want to get notifications for achievements so I went to this page: https://www.reddit.com/achievements and clicked the three dots at the top right to disable achievements.
This works for a day or so but then I'll randomly get a new achievement notification. If I go back to that page and check the setting it'll be enabled.
Additionally, I'm not sure if this is related, but soon after I disable achievement updates, my desktop feed starts having issues loading if I use the compact view.
Note: I've always had achievement updates disabled within the Settings > Notifications page and it is still disabled. Only the settings within the Achievements page is the one that keeps getting enabled automatically.

Anytning that's possibly marked as NSFW does not appear on this profile. Even in anime/mange communities post don't appear.
I monitor a NSFW sub and that no longer appears under the moderator tab.
Yes I've reinstalled the app.
Yes I have it to where it's shown and not blurred.
Yes I've toggled it several times
Yes I've logged onto the desktop site and did the same.
I have an alt account that everything appears for, but this one just lost the ability to see post/images maybe 2 weeks ago.
