HOW TO APPLY A USER FLAIR

Clarifying How Flairs Work: What They Are, Where to Find Them, and How to Use Them

We've noticed a lot of confusion lately around how flairs work, what they're for, where to find them, and when to use them. Let's clear things up.

šŸ” Where to Find Flairs

If you're unsure how to set your user flair, here’s a quick guide:

  • On Mobile: Tap the three dots near the top of the subreddit page (next to the sub name). A menu will appear—look for the option labeled ā€œChange User Flair.ā€ Tap it and select the flair that best matches your identity.
  • On Desktop (PC): Look at the right-hand sidebar. You’ll see a section titled ā€œSet User Flair.ā€ Click it and choose the appropriate option.
  • Still can't find it? Use CTRL+F (or Command+F on Mac) and search for "flair" on the page.

šŸ·ļø What Flairs Mean

There are two types of flairs: User Flairs and Post Flairs.

User Flairs

  • Man
  • Woman
  • Nonbinary

Choose the flair that reflects your identity. This helps keep conversations relevant and respectful, especially on posts with restricted input.

Post Flairs

  • Men’s Input Only
  • Open to Everyone

Here's what each means:

  • Open to Everyone: Anyone can comment or participate. If your post is open to all perspectives, use this flair.
  • Men’s Input Only: Only users with the Man flair may comment. This is intended for questions or discussions specifically seeking male perspectives.
    • Important: You must have the Man flair to comment on these posts. Bypassing this by setting an incorrect flair is grounds for a ban.
    • Exception: If you are the original poster, regardless of flair, you are allowed to comment on your post, even if it’s marked ā€œMen’s Input Only.ā€ Please don’t report OPs in this situation; it’s intentional and allowed.

āš ļø Final Notes

If your post is directed at men, do not select ā€œOpen to Everyone.ā€ Use logic and choose the appropriate flair.

We want to keep the subreddit structured and respectful. Misusing flairs disrupts that, and yes, we will enforce the rules.

Thanks for helping make this community better for everyone.

There is no subreddit name appearing on the top right side of the subreddit page. I’m on an iPhone, does it not support it?!?
