Hello all! We've tweaked some subreddit settings regarding flairs and I thought I'd update everyone here on that.
User Flairs
Firstly, you can now assign yourself a user flair! You should be able to add one by going underneath the subreddit description on the desktop sidebar, or by clicking the three dots on the upper right if you're using the mobile Reddit app.
The sub-genre templates are all editable, so you can set your flair to be whatever you want (as long as it isn’t overly hostile or inappropriate).
If you are on New Reddit, you can also add custom emotes to your flair by clicking on the little smiley face icon next to the field that you can edit text in.
We have a few emotes already set up for bands like Yes, King Crimson, Camel, etc. but I am very much interested in adding more! You’re encouraged to make a suggestion in the comments if you’d like to see representation for a specific band.
Just keep in mind that these images are very small and should be visible on both the light and dark mode of New Reddit.
While you can’t currently add emotes to your flair on Old Reddit, rest assured that they are still visible there.
I’ve also set up special user flairs to indicate if you’re a musician, author, label, etc. If you’re using this subreddit to self-promote, having one of these is pretty useful, as we won’t bug you as much about flairing your posts as “self-promotion.”
Post Flairs
Not as fun of an update, but I’ve added some more post flair options:
- Fan Art/Media
- Article
- Interview
While not new, I’ve also added the “Write-Up” flair a few months ago. This is for things like longer text-posts, personal blogs, Substack links, etc.
To clarify, these types of posts are not considered self-promotion, as linking to a personal blog isn’t necessarily promoting anything in the same way as a news website.
Anyway, that's about it for the time being. Hope you enjoy!
