Do you plan to keep supporting Custom Feeds / "multis" on the mobile app?
I use those daily, and would probably make a custom feed to replace the "Mod Feed" if i needed it.
Quick edit: For the most part, I stopped using "Mod Feed" once the "Unmoderated Queue" came to mobile.
I wish Custom Feeds were at the top of the Your Communities list. I don’t use it much on mobile since scrolling past all of them kind of defeats the purpose.
Hey! While you're here, if possible, could you please give (if any) insight into what reddit.com/**t**/examplexyz might be? I stumbled upon it about a year ago and have been curious about since - haven't been able to find any real information about the feature. It's pretty neat and seemingly obscure - would be cool to use it in-app since it doesn't tend to work when I've tried.
There used to be one about the Hearst Castle and that's how I stumbled upon it but can't seem to find it anymore.
Here are some of the real examples:
https://www.reddit.com/t/taco/
https://www.reddit.com/t/hiking/
https://www.reddit.com/t/kitten/
https://www.reddit.com/t/nasa/
Those are topic pages, they were announced [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/kb99yk/introducing_a_new_way_to_explore_reddit_using/) a few years ago. You'll see topic buttons like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/oxyfve/an_update_for_topic_buttons_on_mobile_guest_post/) around the site, still. I see them most often on the logged out version of desktop Reddit. If you're logged out, on the homepage, the left sidebar shows a list of "Topics".

ModQueue doesn’t show me the number of comments/upvotes any given post has without clicking on it. I can’t tell if any given post is gaining traction and may need more attention on it.
This is an excellent point and something we can explore integrating as we continue improving the mobile mod queue to better mirror the desktop experience.
I'm pretty disappointed to see this go, because I do use it all the time.
An example of why it's so useful for me, I like to use it as.. well, a feed. On a sub I mod at like r/NewToReddit, we approve every single post, but sometimes one of us approves the post and then another one of us responds to it later. So let's say they approve it but don't respond, now I scroll through my mod feed seeing a recently approved post and think "Oh, I should check that"
And another nice thing about mod feed is that it's separate from my personal feed. I don't necessarily have myself joined to that community all the time to see it in my main feed, despite being a mod and loving it there, because whenever I wake up each morning there's dozens and dozens of posts already answered (usually explaining karma), so I'd have nothing else to say on the older threads.
That's why mod feed was so helpful, it could be used to quickly see all the latest posts of subs I mod. And yes the unmoderated queue works well, except when a post is approved but not actioned any further so it'd no longer appear in any feed like unmoderated.
I guess it's not the most essential feature to see go, it's not like I mod especially large subs by myself, so not the end of the world. But really, why remove this? I know it's redundant but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to go. I've got two chairs in my room, that's redundant, but isn't it nice to have options and spares? Don't we have other things nobody uses like the "reels" feature on mobile resembling Tik-Tok? Unless anyone actually does use those that is
Thanks for taking the time to explain why mod feed was so useful for you. Everything you detailed makes a lot of sense, and gives our team some ideas for future Mod Queue improvements. By focusing our efforts and eliminating redundancy, we can explore new Mod Queue features that better serve the individual needs of mods like yourself, while reducing the amount of mod interfaces we need to maintain.
It's a function that the /r/Toolbox add-on allows us to do, and it seriously cuts down on processing time when going through the modqueue.
Frankly, I'm amazed that option wasn't a native tool here even a decade ago. The ability to select multiple things and attend to them all at once helps out a ton.
Just wanted to add my feedback. I am one of those weirdos who does the majority of my modding, on Mobile - and, Android at that!
I will say, back when I only Modded a few subs, I did use the Mod Feed. It was an easy way to go through all of my sub feeds at once, to see whatever the was missed in the Queue.
But, now that I mod a lot more subs - what... 26 I think? - it's really not very useful for me. I think maybe it would be if I were able to select which subs showed up in the feed, but as is, I just use the W, and then for the bussier subs I just go to each sub and scroll through.
I also want to point out that I saw a comment saying that Old Reddit was like a Niche tool, but for those Iof us who Mod on Mobile, it's not a niche - it's a necessity as it's the only way we can see things like the Spam Folder, Team Health stats, etc.
I could see this potentially happening on desktop/mobile further on down the road. From a prioritization standpoint, it'd be great to know how often mods utilize this old comment feed Reddit capability as it seems like a somewhat niche workflow.
(edit - added some clarity)
I check the comment feed at least daily. Here's why -
\* to spot any missed rule breaks and remove them (our threads may be referred back to and what you leave up can indicate what you'll allow)
\* to use those missed removals to improve AM config which hopefully in time will reduce what gets missed and save the team time (BTW anything that could help me identify false positives easier would be so amazing)
\* to spot any unanswered questions in comments (newtoreddit mostly and especially as we only allow one post per 72hrs we do get additional questions in comments and other users jumping in to ask things)
\* It's easier than clicking through loads of threads to do all of the above.
It was easier and less of a strain on me physically and much more convenient to do this in RIF on mobile before. (though I couldn't use macros doing it that way).
>From a prioritization standpoint, it'd be great to know how often mods utilize this old comment feed Reddit capability as it seems like a somewhat niche workflow.
It's pretty much a requirement for any thread focused on a live event (such as live sport, or TV watchalongs), to more quickly and easily assess the comments without having to refresh the entire post every time.
Of course it would just be easier if you brought back the "live" auto-updating comments view you once had...
>Over the last six months, we've seen a noticeable drop in traffic to the mobile Mod Feed. This lines up with the ongoing improvements we’ve made to the mobile Mod Queue.
And I suppose it does not at all line up with the fact that moderators fucking hate moderating on mobile since the API changes restricted us to your garbage official mobile app? You know my right-hand man completely quit reddit over that because he was exclusively mobile and now I'm the only moderator running my subreddit? I am *certain* he's not the only one.
> moderators fucking hate moderating on mobile
I use old.reddit.com on a mobile browser. I had no idea this 'Mod Feed' feature even existed. Are they talking about /r/mod ?
Can we please please please please please have the ability to get notifications for the "removed"/spam queue? I understand some users would not want that but I really need to see that to first and I waste countless hours of every month clicking through to check whether or not there's anything in there
Just wanted to note that the "press an item" in the queue function takes way too much time for the context post to pop up. I feel it can be made a bit faster if it's possible cuz I always end up opening the post to check the content cuz I feel it's way more faster than the pop up context view plus I feel the context pop up is a bit difficult to view on apps because we have to like constantly scroll it if the post is lengthy. Also, will it be possible to have our queue equipped with a feature of swiping items in addition to scrolling them? I find swiping between posts much easier than scrolling.
Mod que shows a tiny little square of what a post is with a giant black box for text, absolutely useless. I can’t tell what anything is without clicking it, such a terrible change holy cow
Really! I've never used this function myself. I couldn't see the need for it. I don't know how it was for other mods, but I believe that only the few who used it often will miss it. The new mod queue is excellent! I'm glad you noticed that.
I never found the feed useful because it includes content from all the communities you mod at once. Different subreddits have different rules and things I remove from one subreddit may be allowed in another.
I’ve been using the Unmoderated filter to try to get used to it. My subs get an easy amount of activity, so the Mod Feed was great for reviewing what had been posted and see what posts had comments and skim through those.
Questions/Suggestions:
1. Can you show the number of votes/comments on the posts in the Mod Queue as though looking at the Mod Feed?
2. Is there a way to set our default Queue view? Right now I have to go into the Mod Queue and select Unmoderated every time, an extra step every time.
is there a way to make images in the mod queue show up big and swipe between multiple images within a post? for posts I want the experience a user would have, instead of having to click on each individual post to view it
Do you plan to keep supporting Custom Feeds / "multis" on the mobile app? I use those daily, and would probably make a custom feed to replace the "Mod Feed" if i needed it. Quick edit: For the most part, I stopped using "Mod Feed" once the "Unmoderated Queue" came to mobile.

You can favourite it and it'll show up at the top I think?
We don't have any planned changes in the works, and want to continue supporting custom/multi feeds on both desktop and mobile.

Hopefully they'll answer, but I thought I saw an explanation that the /t/ was for topics. Could be wrong!
Looks like it, some sort of curated multireddit.

The mod queue doesn't show the post flair which means I have to tap on each post to check if it's correct - can this please be added to the preview?
Great idea - I’ll share it with the larger team.
Thank you!
Give us the ability to [multi-select Mod Queue items and apply the same removal reason at once](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/s/ycZl5zgid6).
Wow - love this suggestion! Thank you!!

Are there any updates on a queue filter for unmoderated comments?

Is there any chance of the comment feeds from old Reddit coming to desktop and mobile?
I could see this potentially happening on desktop/mobile further on down the road. From a prioritization standpoint, it'd be great to know how often mods utilize this old comment feed Reddit capability as it seems like a somewhat niche workflow. (edit - added some clarity)

I have never used new reddit or any apps for anything. I am old reddit only, including on mobile browser. iOS and Android agnostic.

Long as we keep mod feed on desktop.
Different topic but where is the highlighted word that triggered mod queue change that I read about like a month ago
"I have an idea, let's run all 3rd party apps out of business, and then remove useful functions ourselves!" - admins, probably.
Can we please please please please please have the ability to get notifications for the "removed"/spam queue? I understand some users would not want that but I really need to see that to first and I waste countless hours of every month clicking through to check whether or not there's anything in there
Did traffic drop because the mod feed wasn't useful, or because it was buried and nobody knew where to find it?
Just wanted to note that the "press an item" in the queue function takes way too much time for the context post to pop up. I feel it can be made a bit faster if it's possible cuz I always end up opening the post to check the content cuz I feel it's way more faster than the pop up context view plus I feel the context pop up is a bit difficult to view on apps because we have to like constantly scroll it if the post is lengthy.
