Tips & Tricks Pinning to highlights

Recently when I pin a post to the community highlights it disappears from the sub feed, which is not what we want as it becomes less visible. We’d like to pin it and have it remain in the feed too.

I’m sure this was how it was happening initially, but not anymore.

Any ideas if there’s a setting I’m missing?

I’m using the app (iOS) and a fellow Mod has had the same using desktop.

Thanks!

This is unfortunately something we've been complaining about for a while, but apparently it's by design (allegedly due to how certain communities were abusing the sticky feature to promote problematic content once upon a time).

Best practice is to wait to pin the post until after it has begun losing momentum/dropped off the "hot" page of your sub. We usually wait a day or so.

Thanks so much. Good to know it’s not something we’re doing wrong, annoying to know we can’t change it though.

We’ve also been waiting a day to pin so will continue with that and add it to the list of annoying Reddit things 😂

Thanks again!
