Extra Features

  1. Drag and drop images from your desktop: Just drag an image to the submission field to post it!

  2. You can add your pronouns to your user profile by clicking "Edit biography". You have to make at least one comment or post before this setting will be visible to you.

  3. Dark Mode: You can activate it by clicking your username (in desktop mode) or user icon (in mobile mode) to bring up the menu. Raddle also integrates with your system's night mode setting (supported on Windows 10, macOS, iOS, possibly Android and some Linux distros).

  4. The site-wide moderation log shows everything moderators around the site do, for transparency.

  5. Tag users in a post or comment simply by putting u/ and then their username so they receive a notification. For example: u/ziq

  6. Combine forums for a multi-forum view with a '+', for example f/queer+trans

  7. RSS Feeds: All the forums have basic RSS support. You can subscribe to a feed in the sidebar of the forum, or just add /new.atom to the end of the forum URL to view the feed in your reader. See more info here.

  8. You can block a forum from appearing on your /all and /featured feeds if you're not interested in the subject matter. Just go to the forum and click "hide this forum" on the sidebar.

  9. Color-blindness support. Raddle's color scheme is designed to be color-blind accessible

  10. See a full list of Raddle's forums by clicking Alphabetical on the /forums page. Alternatively, you can use the search field in the "Forum" pull down menu when you submit a post.

  11. Activating "full width display" mode in your user-settings allows you to stretch the layout to use your whole screen. This comes at the expense of the custom backgrounds on each forum, which will largely be obscured, so it's up to you which mode you prefer.

  12. You can opt to change the site theme under "Preferred theme" in your user settings.

  13. You can override a forum's theme in your user settings if you'd rather use the same theme site-wide. Simply untick "Let forums override preferred theme".

  14. If you want to make a new forum or edit a wiki, you need to be whitelisted. We try to whitelist everyone who comments or posts, but you can request to be whitelisted in f/meta if we missed you somehow.

  15. You can control how your front page is sorted in your user settings. If you want Raddle to act as a traditional forum where every new comment 'bumps' a post to the top of the page, use: Front Page > All > Active

  16. You can change your username as many times as you like by going to "My account".

  17. Here's how to do spoiler tags: [put spoiler here](#s)

  18. You can click "Linear" on any comment thread to arrange comments by time. The newest comments will display last. Click "Nested" to go back to the default view.

  19. You can send direct messages to other users as long as you've been whitelisted. Simply go to their profile and click "Send message".

  20. All whitelisted users are welcome to contribute to the wiki. You can edit existing submissions or start entirely new pages. The front page of the wiki features entries curated by admins, but the full list of all Raddle wikis can be accessed here. If you make a good wiki, you can message an admin to have it added to the front page.

  21. You can embed images into your posts and comments as long as the images are hosted by raddle. Check out f/raddleimg for some-ready made images you can use, or upload your own. Here's an example: ![dartfrog](/apple-touch-icon-precomposed.png)
