🔖 Feature description

When you select the "Link" option for the Reddit post, allow the user to post without needing to fill into the 'Write your reply...' section.

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

Reddit Post that feature links do not have a requirement for text on the post. Text on a post can also take away from the Link's primary focus.

For instance, if you post a link to a picture, on old.reddit.com, the picture will be shown in the thumbnail. Twirling down the post will reveal the image itself.

However, if you post a link to a picture with accompanied text to the post, the picture isn't featured on the thumbnail, and when the user twirls down to see the post's contents, the post will only feature the text, as opposed to the image.

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

  • Click Create Post
  • Select Reddit Account
  • Select Settings, Click on Link.
  • 'The post should be at least 6 characters long' should disappear after clicking the Link.
  • Be allowed to post or add to calendar without needing to fill in 'Write your Reply...'
