Introducing: Post Flairs!
Hey everyone! It's time for a quick Quality-of-Life improvement for the subreddit, introducing Post Flairs! You now have the ability to sort based on post! This was a requested feature for a while and thanks to Reddit finally allowing flairs on both New and Old Reddit, we can implement them across the board! You can now see them in the sidebar and attached to posts. Here's how it works:
How to Flair
On Old or New Reddit, go to the submission area. Scroll down and select the "Flair" option. Choose the flair that best fits your post and hit apply.
Post Flair Descriptions
-
Announcement - A moderator exclusive tag used for posts such as this. Official episode discussions, subreddit-wide events, rule updates, and other threads important enough to be stickied. Be on the lookout for these!
-
Meta Thread - Another mod exclusive flair, but self-explanatory. This flair highlights and sorts out all the weekly meta-threads for your convenience. You are welcome to read all the prior meta threads, but be sure to only make comments in the most recent one of the week.
-
Artwork - This is a general tag for artwork and will likely be used the most. If an image can be sourced to an artist, it belongs here. Art that you yourself made or commissioned are allowed to have the OC tag as well!
-
Discussion - For text-based submissions focused on discussing My Little Pony in general. Analysis, questions, fanfiction, prompts, etc.
-
Official Media - Show screencaps, clips, gifs, comics panels, official shorts, licensed games, and official press releases from Hasbro themselves all fall under here.
-
Memes - Memes are memes. A post that follows what's traditionally considered a meme goes here. Think impact text over an image macro or common formats.
-
Video - For all sorts of fan-made YouTube/etc videos. Includes v.reddit links as well.
-
Music - Deserves a tag because of how large the MLP music scene is. Soundcloud pages, Spotify links, Bandcamp, and music submissions that are in video format (Ex: YouTube link) all go here.
Pony Music Videos (PMVs) fall under this flair. -
Misc. - For when we cannot accurately box a submission into any other category. It's fluff. Filler. It's something you can't pin down perfectly but want to share anyways. It still must pass Rule 3 however.
-
Community News - Brony related news from Equestria Daily would fall here. An upcoming fan convention or charity event would fall under here. An AMA hosted elsewhere would fall under here. Contests on other subreddits go here. A fan-project would fall under here. It's a flair for general happenings regarding the fandom beyond this subreddit exclusively.
Because we maintain a very general sub, it follows that not all of our users like seeing the same type of content. Flaring posts allow users who wish not to see certain types of content to easily filter them out. So we expect you to flair all of your posts from this day forward. It's okay if you accidentally use the wrong flair from time to time, but just like our sourcing policy, if you repeatedly ignore warnings telling you to flair correctly we will delete your post until you do.
You may also use the Original Content (OC) button on any post you had a hand in creation for regardless of flair.
Hopefully these post flairs make navigating the subreddit easier. If you have any questions, would like to suggest additional flairs not yet considered, or need to see an example of a post you're on the fence about, feel free to ask!
Edit: Added some more flair clarifications. While there is overlap between categories, just use your best judgment and flair responsibly. If you think you can reasonably fit your post under a certain flair, go for it! And if you'd like you may also go back and flair your older unfaired posts to fit the new system.
