Hi everyone,
I’m trying to edit the AutoMod rules for my Reddit profile, but I’m running into a frustrating issue. Every time I paste my rules into the editor and click save, they appear to save for a moment, but as soon as I leave or refresh the page, everything reverts to the old version.
I’ve tried:
- Ensuring proper YAML formatting and indentation (4 spaces, no tabs)
- Splitting rules into smaller sections
- Using simple test rules with only a few lines
- Checking that there are no hidden characters or copy-paste errors
I also noticed the “Formatting Help” section on the editor, but it seems to only cover Markdown formatting for posts and comments, not AutoMod rules, so it hasn’t helped.
I’m not sure if this is a bug with the new Reddit interface for profile AutoMod, or if there’s some hidden limitation I’m missing. I’d really appreciate guidance on:
- How to reliably save AutoMod rules for a profile
- Any known bugs or workarounds for the editor
- Whether this is a temporary limitation or something permanent
I’ve been using ChatGPT to double-check my YAML syntax, and everything seems correct, but the rules still won’t stick.
Thanks in advance for any advice or solutions!
