      One of the very frustrating things for me on reddit is the way crossposting works, essentially making it a karma whoring feature more than anything else.

      Can crossposting be simplified? For example: I just posted a topic in ~tv, however I realize it applies more to ~comp (sorry, I was premature on posting it somewhere - maybe it can be moved?) but could fit in ~tv as it's related, even if being a 3rd cousin from the groups intent. It would be nice to be able to pick the groups I'd like to publish it to, so the discussion is centralized and consistent - if that makes sense?

      I decided to take a second look at the reddit redesign out of curiosity, and the lack of responsiveness was jarring. I found myself waiting several seconds just for a click to properly register. So I decided to take a look at the actual numbers for a bit of fun. Here are the results as reported by the Firefox network tab:

    6. Familiarity: upvote arrows vs tapping on the votes

      It took me a few seconds to realize that tapping on the # of votes would count as an upvote.

      The usual arrows would be nice, even Facebook is experimenting with those now.

      update: Just realized this suggestion was already raised 4 days ago.
