Hi everyone!

Reddit admins made a massive update to their spam filtering capabilities and algorithm last week - read about it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/o6l2z5/f_spammers/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

The spam filter appears to be based on an algorithm that is responsive to mod actions….and since we remove a LOT of troll posts and unflaired users, the filtering algorithm for our sub is pretty aggressive, resulting in hundreds of valid posts being moved to a spam folder that Reddit admins recently added that we JUST found out existed.

The spam folder is not currently available for mod use on the Reddit app so it took some sleuthing around on the desktop version to even find it.

We noticed a severe drop off in the volume of submissions in the past week as well as an increase in people complaining about their posts being removed; but we weren’t sure why since we couldn’t see any of the posts that were removed by Reddit admins.

Now that we know about the folder, We were able to approve a bunch of back posts the past 2 days - but since we can’t manage this on the app, there is a delay. We’re still trying to find a workaround.

In the meantime, it may look like the feed is slowing down.

Good news is - FDS appears to be still going strong!

We trended today in new subscribers!
