  1. Heya Modhelp. This is a guide I wrote a few months ago for r/wow but I think could be useful for other subreddits. You'll have to amend parts of it in order to properly personalize the guide for your subreddit and so I've left some indications on where that is.
  2.  
  3. This guide is designed to fit into a wiki page.
  4.  
  5. If you're looking for a bot to enforce link flair, I recommend /u/assistantBOT1.
  6.  
  7. * Updated September 18, 2021.
  8.  
  9. **As I do not have an Iphone, apps exclusive to that device are not listed.**
  10.  
  11. -------
  12.  
  13.  
  14. Notes to change:
  15.  
  16. * Add your own list of flair, along with block quotes for flairs that have a space in them.
  17. * Under `##Redesign Users` you'll want to replace my newreddit sidebar image with your own.
  18. * At varying points I use examples like `-flair:art`, you may want to amend these to be relevant to your subreddit.
  19. * Find/replace "SUBREDDITNAME" with your own sub.
  20.  
  21. ------

  23. #Guide to Filtering Reddit
  24.  
  25. With Link Flair, you can use Reddits built in filter function to better tailor your Reddit experience to fit what you're interested in. Below are brief guides on how to browse specific content or simply remove certain content from your front page.
  26.  
  27. ## List of Flairs Currently in Use on r/SUBREDDITNAME
  28.  
  29. **If you're removing flair from the subreddit by using the search bar, use the block text versions so it'll filter properly.**
  30.  
  31.  
  32. List your flair here. I've left an example for what block text is supposed to look like.
  33.  
  34. * Art
  35. * Humor / Meme `Humor+/+Meme`
  36.

  48.  
  49. ## Redesign Users
  50.  
  51. Desktop users using the redesign can [Click on flair to filter from the sidebar](https://i.imgur.com/lQBOJCg.png). Note that this will only show that specific flair. If you want to view the front page with one or more flairs missing, follow the guide in the next section.
  52.  
  53. ##Mobile Web & Desktop users can filter using the search function.
  54.  
  55. Type `-flair:art` in the search box. This also works on the re-design for desktop.
  56.  
  57. Or bookmark this link, amended to whichever your preference is: https://www.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDITNAME/search?q=-flair%3Aart&sort=top&restrict_sr=on&t=day
  58.  
  59. You can add more filters by writing `-flair:Classic+-+Humor+/+Meme, -flair:question` etc. This also works on the re-design for desktop, however you'll have to manually sort by "top" and "last 24 hours" every time you add a new flair to the list.
  60.  
  61. This will show you the front page as it exists **without** the posts that have the flairs you specify.

  170.  
  171. Some people can't log into Reddit but still browse and want to filter. You can do this most effectively on old Reddit as new Reddit will change your sorting preferences anytime you add a new flair to filter. Using this filtering system, you will see all **relevant** posts for the last 24 hours, effectively showing you the front page as it exists without whatever you're filtering.
  172.  
  173. You can do this by going to https://old.reddit.com/r/SUBREDDITNAME/search?q=&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=day
  174.  
  175. Once there, write `-flair:art, -flair:question`, `-flair:Humor+/+Meme`and so on. Make use of the block quotes in the flair list above so that flairs with spaces in them filter properly.
  176.
