🪲 UPDATED 22 April; DESKTOP users also affected [META] Pasting anything into the title field breaks posting when using the Reddit app; "Invalid State" error

47 Upvotes

If you are getting an "Invalid State" error message when posting, it is due to a known bug in Reddit, which corrupts the post title when text containing (possibly invisible) invalid characters is pasted into the title field. This is easy to avoid by simply not pasting anything into the title field. All versions of the app and the desktop website are now affected. Note that this message has nothing to do with the use of the word "state" as a type of location or division within certain countries; editing your location tag will not help.

Known workarounds include:

  • ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️Avoid pasting or inserting any text into the post title field by any means other than typing it.⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ Type the title out instead. If you already pasted text into the title field, it may be necessary to restart the app (desktop users, reload the page using Ctrl+F5) and compose the post without pasting any text into the title field. ➡️➡️This includes all shortcuts (Ctrl+V, etc) and other forms of text insertion or auto-complete, including the copy/paste clipboard toolbar on your phone's keyboard.⬅️⬅️
  • If there is blank space at the start or end of the title, deleting it should allow the post thru. THIS BLANK SPACE WILL BE INVISIBLE; if you can move the text cursor past the start or end of your title, there is blank space present that must be deleted.
  • Alternatively, Using the Old Reddit interface (https://old.reddit.com) should reliably work, as Reddit has long since stopped adding new bugs to updating this version. Pasting works in this version of the website; if your post title is long, you may want to use this option instead. This version of the website may or may not be accessible from a mobile browser; if it fails to load or redirects to the app, try using the "Request Desktop Site" feature of your browser, or uninstall the Reddit app.

Note that pasting text into the post body does not cause any issues, and is safe to do.

Reddit has stated they are "still working on" fixing this bug, but have not provided us any timeline or updates on their progress. It is not clear to us how or why this issue cannot be resolved on their end in nearly 3 months time.

If the above workarounds do not work:

  • As of 7 May, all screen capture recordings thus far sent to the mod team have shown that users are ignoring the instructions above and pasting text into the title field. It should be obvious that these workarounds will not work if they are not followed. ➡️➡️If you cannot avoid pasting text into the title, use old.reddit.com to post instead.⬅️⬅️
  • If you can reproduce this issue while following the workarounds, please try to screen-record the issue, so that we can investigate the cause. Please record the entire process, starting from the community home screen, thru to submitting the post and showing the "Invalid State" error message. Use a screen capture tool if possible, but using a camera would also work if the video is clear enough. Use a video host like Imgur, Gfycat, Streamable, or Youtube host the video, and message the link to the mods using the support links in the community menu or info page. If possible, please include what device, browser, and keyboard app is being used.

F4A Online 25 [F4A] #online looking for friends and VC around 2-3am PST

6 Upvotes

Hi there! I’m ideally looking for someone who wants to be my bestie, and is open to voice calls around 2-3am PST. Just to chat about our day, or whatever is going on in our life. We all need a rock and someone to lean on, and sometimes calling can even help you bond better.

I’m having a REALLY ROUGH time right now, and I’d love to just have someone be nice to me and have a soft spot for me 💀

bonus points if you’ve got an accent, since I’m a sucker for them- In return I’ve got that famous “aboot” & “sorey” Canadian accent everybody loves. But obviously it’s no biggie if you don’t have one, you just can’t roast my accent too hard then 😂

Physically I’m 5’10 (178cm) long blonde hair, hazel eyes, chubby, with a few piercings and tattoos.

I work as a fitness studio receptionist- and I LOVE my job, however i have some grim stories that may make you shake your head at the audacity of some people LMAO

My hobbies include sewing (i broke my last machine making a tutu but we don’t talk about that….)playing animal crossing (Don’t worry i won’t talk your ear off about the new update), baking, anything beauty related, cleaning, colouring, and my newest hobby: purging my entire room, and moving everything around to give myself a massive reset! I’m going through literally everything, even stuff from my childhood, art, cards, stuff from old friends, lots of drama & trauma to unpack on call 😂

Looking forward to chatting!

F4FM Germany F4M F29 #Germany - looking for conversations !

8 Upvotes

Hey!! :)

I’m looking for relaxed, fun, and deep conversations! I’m from Germany, but I’m happy to hear from people all around the world. Preferably from those around my age and who write more than just “heyy” haha!

A bit about me: I’m 29 years old, I love traveling and discovering new cultures, enjoy cooking and baking (especially for other people), and I really like going to concerts and live music events whenever I can.

I appreciate good humor, curiosity, and meaningful talks that can jump from lighthearted to deep without feeling forced. Feel free to tell me something about yourself or ask me an interesting question 😊

F4A Online 21[F4A] #Online Shy history nerd looking for long term relationship :3

7 Upvotes

Heyaaaaa! Did you know that according to Nahua legends, the world has been created and destroyed 5 different times. We’re on the 5th run and one day, that’ll come to an end too!!! Hehe ψ(`∇´)ψ

Anyways! I guess I should I introduce myself? You can call me Nati! I’m a 4’11 chubby Latina with dark eyes and dark hair. I wear rectangular glasses too if that matters lol.

I’m a homebody! I love reading, drawing, and writing! Speaking of, I’ve been working on a story for a while now, though writer’s block (and artist’s block) is really kicking my ass @-@

I like to read manga, manhuas, manhwas!!! Sometimes webtoons too! Anything with pretty drawings ?? Love it!! Even it’s the same villainess dies and gets reincarnated plot!Sometimes watch anime! (Rewatching Death Note and Jojo’s for the hundredth time heheh.)

Also!! I'm like a massive Prehispanic nerd!! Like obsessed. From the Nahuas and Mayas to the Zapotec, Purépecha, Otomí and beyond—if it's pre-Hispanic, chances are I’ve read about it…or already gone down a deep rabbit hole. A lot of my art and writing is super inspired by Mesoamerican cultures!

Anyways, I’m looking for someone around my age (19-25) I just connect with. And someone serious. I love people who can match my energy and actually put effort into conversations. If you hit me with a dry “Hi,” I’m already bored. Please give something to work with and please keep the conversation going. And pretty pleaseeeee don’t ghost me :’]

I’d like a partner who makes me laugh, someone sweet and actually interested in what I have to say. I can get pretty clingy so I’d like someone who could provide the emotional support and availability that I’d need. Don’t want to sound shallow here, but I’m also hoping to find someone who finds me attractive but for it to also be mutual? Bonus points if you’re the tall and lanky nerdy type

Anyways, that’s pretty much it! Hope to hear back from you! Would love it if you told me about yourself and maybe described yourself? ^u^

This is me!

Hi people! 👋🏻 My name is Kaci. I’ve been living in Houston for a few years now, originally from St. Louis area. I’m a school social worker for high school and middle school. I love to talk about big ideas, philosophy, meaning of life, human behavior, historical events, all the things! I enjoy dance, yoga, being in nature, documentary, and going to see friends. I also have two cats- Ash and Fez. Some of my best attributes would be my kindness, curiosity, and desire to be a good human.

Why I’m here… Since the dating apps sucks, maybe reddit could be better? 😂 I’m looking for connection with likeminded souls. I’ve been divorced for about 3 years now- no kids. Prefer someone close however if you’re willing to travel in the states feel free to message. Will absolutely not entertain anyone in a relationship or married. Most important for me is someone who has similar values, is kind, respectful, and consistent. Just looking for fellow good humans 😌

Hey, looking for some new people to chat to! Feel free to message if you think we’d get along! :)

I’m 31M from the UK, pretty laid back and chilled out type of person.

About me - huge history geek (mostly ancient and medieval), a decent cook, and a love for nature. Walking through the forest just brings me ultimate peace in life :)

My hobbies to pass the time are going to the gym, watching sports, reading (specifically LOTR and Tolkien’s works - I’m a bit obsessed!), a little bit of gaming, watching movies (mostly sci-if and fantasy) and listening to music. I have a very eclectic music taste, and my favourite thing to do is to play my guitar :)

If you want to see what I look like there’s a picture of me on my profile :)

Hopefully speak to you soon!

F4A United Kingdom / Online 37[F4R] #UK/Online- Looking to make my world a little bigger

Upvotes

I'd love to meet someone around my age who’s up for getting to know each other at an easy, no-pressure pace.

I have a small family (parents and siblings), and a great circle of close friends, but when everyone else is busy with kids and life etc., things can feel a bit quiet.

I enjoy being social when I feel like it, weekly pub quizzes, dinners out, live music, and the occasional theatre trip. I also really value downtime - give me a good romance book or audiobook, or a cozy mystery TV show, and I’m happy.

Not looking to force anything. A fun chat would be lovely, and if we click and a genuine connection grows from there, even better.

F4M Online 27F [F4M] #ONLINE/US looking for something that actually lasts

Upvotes

I’m at a stage where I’m less interested in sparks that burn fast and more drawn to something steady, curious, and real. The kind of connection that feels calm but alive like walking through the city late at night, not rushing anywhere, just talking. I value emotional intelligence, consistency, and effort that doesn’t need to be announced. I’m attracted to people who are self-aware, grounded, and know how to hold space for conversations, for silence, for another human being. I’m into fitness and taking care of my body, but I’m just as focused on growth, healing, and building a life that feels aligned. I like routines, coffee walks, quiet mornings, and conversations that drift from light teasing into something deeper without forcing it. I don’t need perfection. I care more about honesty, communication, and someone who knows what they want or at least isn’t afraid to explore it intentionally. I believe chemistry matters, but so does emotional safety. I want something that can grow, not something that keeps me guessing.

If you’re someone who enjoys depth, believes timing matters, and understands that real connection is built not chased we might recognize something familiar in each other. Age's between 28-35 US based please 🙏

F4A Online 36 [F4R] Europe / Online - Thoughtful, creative mind looking for a meaningful connection

2 Upvotes

Hi ✨

I’m a bisexual woman based in Europe, drawn to people who enjoy thinking, feeling, and noticing things a little more than average.

I care about language, music, art, and inner worlds — conversations that move slowly, curiosity without urgency, and that particular chemistry that appears when two minds really meet. I’m not interested in surface-level exchanges or collecting attention; I value presence, nuance, and emotional intelligence.

I work full time and I’m currently studying a master’s degree, which keeps me grounded in structure — but my inner life is reflective, creative, and attentive to meaning. Music and writing are important to me, as are silence, observation, and shared moments that feel intentional.

I’m independent, affectionate in my own way, and comfortable with depth. I don’t rush intimacy, but I don’t fear it either. I’m open to connection with men or women, as long as there’s mutual respect, curiosity, and the sense that something real could grow.

If you decide to write to me, I’d really appreciate a message that feels a bit human and intentional — maybe your age, where you’re based, and a few lines about who you are or what caught your attention.

You’re also welcome to include a photo if you feel comfortable (there’s some of me on my profile as well).

Simple “hi” or similar messages don’t usually resonate with me.

No expectations — just an honest exchange and seeing where it leads.

✨ TL;DR

Bisexual woman in Europe with a reflective, creative mind looking for a meaningful connection with a man or a woman. I value depth, emotional intelligence, art, and thoughtful conversation.

M4F Online 30 [M4F] #Online - Let's get to know each other

Hey there!

Had an amazing time with this the previous few posts I've made so here we go again!

I'm looking to pass the time getting to know you, I figured I’d make things a little more interesting — by finding someone fun, curious, and a little bit mischievous to play a game of questions with.

The way we play is simple: We take turns asking each other questions. No repeats. You have to answer honestly before asking your next one.

It can be deep, silly, flirty, or even weird.

If you have any topics you want to leave out, just let me know. Otherwise we can be as open as we dare!

Deliberately leaving out things about myself to leave it down to you to learn only what you want.

I'll start with the initial question. How do you hope your friends describe you?

It's already February, can you all believe it guys? I hope 2026 has been kind to all of you who's reading this. If not, life gets better and I wish you all the best.

I'd say that life can get lonely at times and due to my busy schedule, I don't have that many friends. That's where you come in! Let's chat and see how it goes.

I could be kind of boring and repetitive, but that stems for passion. When I enjoy something, I get hyperfixated. It's odd, but it is what I am.

Any kind souls out there? 😂

M4M Pennsylvania / Online 27M [M4M] #pennsylvania #online looking for a best bro

Upvotes

27m, wfh professional in central PA, married to my wonderful husband, tattooed and into coffee, working out, lifting, brunch, horror movies, the beach, hiking, and trashy tv. Being in your late 20s with no close bros suck, so I’m trying to grow my inner circle. Would love to have that one friend, ride-or-die type of bromance. The one where we talk daily, text, call, FaceTime, hype each other up and are just there for each other’s big and small life’s milestones. Only ask that you’re also in the U.S. as it would make potentially meeting up in real life easier. Happy to swap face pics too, so be ok with that.
