    1. Promoting Anything That's NOT Individual Tracks?

      In my opinion, part of what makes places like /r/music so mind-numbingly boring is that outside of news, there's just individual tracks and question threads that beg for individual tracks.

      There's some value in this and if that's the way you consume music, then cool. But as someone who primarily listens to albums, I rarely want to discover music like this. Like maybe if I'm looking into a new genre, it's cool to get an introductory song to get what it's all about, but beyond that it's kinda a haze.

      So others who value any kind of music listening outside of singles + loose tracks, what do you think we can do to shape this community into something that includes us a little more? Discussions on DJ sets? Album reviews? Games like the survivors done on artist-specific subreddits? I don't think this is something that just naturally gets fixed through the hierarchy system or something, like many of the other problems with /r/music. What can we do?

    2. CSRF error on registration page

      Hi, I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :) That's a bad first impression for users...

      Hi,

      I got a CSRF error on the registration page, probably a timeout because I read the terms and privacy policy before going on with the registration. :)

      That's a bad first impression for users and should be avoided.

    3. Suggestion: tag limiting

      Gotta limit the tags; I added maybe 5-6 tags on a submission, I know Instagram has a limit of 30 or so hashtags, if tags are going to be searchable or used for surfacing content in other contexts, limiting the hashtags would limit abuse of it.

      Or maybe this already exists and I just haven't hit the limit... ;p

      On Reddit, I can chose between two options - to be subscribed to a sub, or to not be subscribed. Right now, the situation is the same with Tildes. I would like to have more fine-grained control over which posts show up on my homepage. For example, right now, a signficant proportion of my homepage is music. I don't know if that will continue to be the case as the site grows, but it serves as a good example for now. I like music, and want to see music related posts on my homepage, but ideally I would like to be able to use a slider or selector of some form to dampen the precedence of ~music, so that I only see the very best posts. Other tildes, like ~comp, I want to have higher precedence / weighting, so that their posts make their way onto my homepage with more ease - because it's the topic I care most about.

      I understand that this might be simply infeasible for server-load reasons, and I also could understand if it is felt that this would clash with the clean and simple mechanics of the site. However, I think this feature would be really useful, and moreover could serve as a good USP to attract users from other news aggregators who care about curated, high-quality content.

      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.

    6. Chasing the carrot on a stick: A karma system.

      That silly number on someone's account. One that means nothing but is a weird goal people seek out.

      Karma can be used to encourage user participation. Karma can also be bad and can cause someone to post with the intent of collecting karma instead of discussion.

      Karma can be earned different way;

      • the reddit way, you get karma for how many upvotes you get for things you post
      • the gamefaqs way, you get 1 karma point for each day you log in

      I'm not sure of any other ways, but I like silly numbers. Perhaps the 'trusted user' thing in the docs can somehow tie into a karma system.

      What do you think about karma and how it could/should/would play out here?

      One of the biggest limitations of Reddit is that if you want to post a link, and comment on it yourself, you have to go make a comment on your own post after you've made it.

      It would be really useful to be able to fill in both the Link and the Text box, and have your text displayed under the link while you are viewing the comments.

      (Also, we should be able to edit posts after making them.)
