RedditHideFlair_Z - A Browser Extension for Hiding Posts with Specific Flairs on Reddit
RedditHideFlair_Z is a Chrome browser extension developed by zaharator. It falls under the category of Browsers and is listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This free extension allows users to hide posts on Reddit that have specific flairs.
The extension was created to address a problem that arose when many users from the website Pikabu migrated to Reddit. All posts were being created in a single subreddit and were only differentiated by flairs. As a result, some users were encountering posts that were not relevant to their interests.
To solve this issue, RedditHideFlair_Z was developed as a simple workaround. After installing the extension, users can update the subreddit page and a control panel for the plugin will appear below the subreddit information. By selecting the "Hide Posts by Flairs" option, a long list of flairs available in the community will be displayed.
Users can then choose to mark the flairs they wish to ignore. Once the page is refreshed, posts with the selected flairs will be completely hidden from the feed. This extension works for the entire Reddit platform.
Please note that it is not recommended to mark more than 5-7 popular flairs. As the feed becomes shorter, your browser will send more frequent requests for fresh posts while scrolling, which may lead to a temporary ban from the server for exceeding the request interval.
