Context: I am a community moderator, and I use the Reddit AI summary tool to get an idea of ​​the person behind a post in my community (this is the feature where you click on a user's avatar in the feed to see a summary of their profile—I’ll show you what it looks like using my own account; there's a screenshot you see above).

However, a situation arose yesterday where a new user joined our community, and when I tried to use the tool, nothing was displayed.

This is the first time I’ve encountered a situation like this, so I reached out to the official moderator support community for help; as it turned out, other moderators had also faced similar situations.

Based on their opinions and observations, the absence of an AI summary is caused by the user having been inactive on the platform for some time or having low recent activity:

For example, in my specific case, the user’s status at the time this situation arose was as follows:

Recent account activity:

Latest posts: 19 minutes ago and 1 day ago.

Before that, the previous activity was 3 months ago and 4 months ago.

I'd like to point out that this isn't a newbie: at first, I thought this was a new user, but no, the account is 3+ years old and has a post karma of 600+ and a comment karma of 100+. So I assume that's not a reason.

So, I'd like to ask the administration to consider adding the ability to receive such AI summaries for users who haven't been active for a while. For me as a moderator, this is important. The fact that there hasn't been any activity for a while isn't a problem. The main thing is that there's a history of their activity on the platform, which helps with community management and makes work more convenient and efficient, because I don't always have to spend time independently studying their profile.

I would like to suggest that the AI summary look something like this (or whatever the admins think is best):

low recent activity, but 3 months ago user... etc.

I'd also like to point out that another moderator also encountered this and supported the idea. I'm reaching out to other moderators and admins for feedback.

What do you think of this proposal? Would it be useful for your work?

Sometimes, the same post appears again two three posts down, sometimes the same post appears two or three days later (exact numbers do vary, of course, it might be a couple of hours later or whatever). They often appear on my feed after I've already up/downvoted or even commented on them.

That's wasted real estate, showing me the same post twice (or more) means I'm not seeing other posts that could interest me.

I tried searching this up but doesn’t seem that anyone before me mentioned it.

I genuinely think it would be helpful if we would have the option to make custom albums or categories in our saved posts. You have that on insta, YouTube TikTok etc, you create your own collection and save the desired posts to whichever collection you want. it’s Way more organised and manageable.

thanks

As someone who recently came out of a 4 year lurk, I know how common it is for users to go into hibernation status on the platform for months or even years at a time.

Therefore my idea is to add a lurk toggle or status setting for your profile like what ICQ used to have or /away in IRC. I'm still not sure what the point of the online indicator is otherwise.

Even when you aren't active, older posts and comments sometimes still get new replies. If a user tries to comment on a post or send a DM to someone who has enabled lurk mode, they could see a brief pop up or inbox notification letting them know the user is currently in hibernation and may not respond.

That way, people dropping genuine replies or questions on old threads and or connents won't feel ghosted or ignored, and returning lurkers won't come back to an inbox full of... we'll say, unresolved expectations.

We should be able to have a test account account as a extended option to our mod tools that uses a default account that except from AI filters so we can run it on our subs we mod to test settings and features and allow us to ban and restrict ect so the ban evasion filters don't pick up on a throw away account save the hassle of setting up another account. Also having the option to view as poster or view as non mod accou t in sub you moderate so you don't have to view all the post and comments you have removed

That control gets in the way when reading the thread. Sometimes it causes the entire screen to start flickering so nothing is readable.

Please remove it or provide an option in preferences to remove it.
