I mod a restricted sub with one of my devvit apps installed. Since the subreddit is restricted, only approved users can create posts through reddit’s default 'create post' flow, which doesn’t support custom posts from the devvit app.

I’d like approved users to be able to access the devvit app through the menu, but there’s currently no configuration for that. Right now, the only way to grant access is by making them moderators, which isn’t practical in the long run.

At the moment, the only available forUserType options are 'moderator' and 'user'. Could we also get an "approvedUser" option?

i searched up the documentation but couldn't find anything that exactly matched my requirement. I can see triggers for new modmail activity itself (sent/received), but not interaction level events like when someone clicks on the 'message mods' button. Is there a way around it?

Hi, so I saw this AI summary for my account from a sub I mod (r/PuzzledArt). The summary here is really ambiguous and can be misread easily. “The creator of r/PuzzledArt and a bot” is supposed to mean that I created a bot (based on something I posted recently). But to anyone who doesn’t have that context, it can come across as me being a bot. I’m not sure if all mods across subs see the same summary for users. If that’s the case, I’m quite concerned.

thanks to everyone who helped me feel confident about newspaper concept yesterday. I am hit with another question now :') please help!

The objective of this design is to keep the focus on the puzzle grid.

I have come down to two versions of the newspaper background.

1. Background at 10% blur. The words aren’t readable, so the puzzle grid becomes the only thing in focus. But it looks weird to me, like my vision suddenly got bad. Also, since it’s a newspaper, my brain expects to see words, and not being able to feels weird. Is it only me?

2. Background isn't blurred out here. I've kept the contrast low between text and the background grey color. It feels more natural to a newspaper, but I'm not sure if the words distract focus from the grid?

The target theme is 'calm', 'anti-game', 'newspaper-ish'.
1st one looks clearer compared to the 2nd, but still looks too sterile to me.

2nd one is closer to the newspaper style, but looks too noisy.

I tried keeping plain bg too, and that looked very empty. Any suggestions?

r/PuzzledArt is a jigsaw puzzle sub. You can play jigsaw puzzles here.

I’m u/shruest, the creator of u/puzzledartbot. It posts 5x5 puzzle grids on this subreddit. Each puzzle features artworks from people [humans, specifically] on Reddit (including me). The idea is to bring interactivity with art.

This project is also my sandbox for experimenting with game dev stuff, so if anything goes weird, you know why that happened.

Under this post, you'll find the changelogs in the thread, and other relevant links you might want to check out.

(In case you think this post sounds dry, that's because I wrote this at 2:43 AM. Peace.)

Edit: I came back when I was not sleep deprived. Edited a bit so the sentences are clearer.
