Hi Mods,
Since launching Mod Notes within our iOS & Android apps last year we’ve continued hosting discussions with mods on ways to improve the User Profile card that mods utilize to help curate and manage their communities.
The most significant feedback we heard is that the card can be slow to load, and including general user-focused actions made it harder to focus on the mod-specific actions.
To improve this mod experience, we made some under-the-hood improvements so this card loads more quickly, allowing mods to take key actions (ex: ban/mute user) more efficiently. We also moved the user actions into an overflow menu so mods will now only see mod actions. Please note this experience will only appear for mods within the communities they moderate. Redditors will continue to see the profile card intended for non-mods.
Post Flair Navigation
You may have already seen this setting in your mod tools, but we recently released a new setting that allows you to enable post flair as navigation within our mobile apps. As on desktop, post flair can help you curate and organize your communities. For members, it's a convenient way to filter and get to the content they want to see more quickly.
When you turn on this setting in your mod tools, your community’s post flair is displayed on a navigation menu just below your community info on mobile. Some of you who started trying this out in your community may have noticed that your custom emojis were not appearing - this has been resolved so they should appear as expected.

For this iteration, flair with the most number of posts associated with it appears first in the navigation. Within each flair category, posts are sorted by new. We know that redditors (especially those who are new or unsubscribed) have a variety of interests, but may not know where to find the most dynamic and representative content of the community - our goal is to make that journey easier.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our pilot program. Your feedback helped us enhance the experience and guide our path forward. We’re excited to continue working with y’all and hear more of your thoughts on ways we can improve this experience.

- Native Mobile Mod Mail - launching in September
If you have any questions about this week's feature launches or the roadmap we’ve outlined, please let us know in the comments!
Our communities have a vast number of procedurally-generated flairs, which we can search on Desktop using flair search queries, since we can do partial-text matching; but only 3rd-party apps have ever supported this on mobile, not the official app.
Is there any chance we can get a way to tie this into Devvit? If we could make a search app with Devvit that allowed users to input what they're searching for, and use it to generate the same flair, we could do some very advanced searching, which would be game-changing for many communities that use flair for search purposes. We actually have an API app working right now that can do this, but with Reddit's killing off the API, that'll of course never see the light of day.
Yes; we have flair queries for both Old Reddit and New Reddit on desktop, you can use the links in the menus there (the R4R communities I mod, particularly the SFW-tagged ones) as examples.
They don't work at all in the official app, of course, they reportedly just go to an error page. They reportedly do work in most 3rd-party apps, but of course Reddit is killing all those off soon.
If you have a small number of flairs, just use the flair widget instead (in New Reddit settings), as this works in both New Reddit and the app.

I'm in the Devvit discord server too, would like to be involved in some way in developing that, since half of my communities would be a prime use-case for it, and we already have a working prototype. Feel free to have someone reach out here or there.
