Reddit on Hayami already works out-the-box, assuming your logged-in through your browser. If you’re not logged into Reddit already, as already mentioned in the getting started guide, can cause rate limits according to your i.e. IP address. This sometimes may trigger Reddit to not return the discussion altogether, Hayami prompting you to login to continue. So, if you haven’t already, do so by going to Hayami > Manage or add accounts > Login on Reddit. If you have a Reddit software-app, you can customise Hayami to work with it. If you don’t have one, ignore this. If you do, authenticating through your app will use your app’s rate limits.

Customising Reddit

All of Reddit’s settings can be configured through Hayami > Settings > Discussion platforms > Reddit. Reddit has a few themes on Hayami out-the-box:
  • traditional (nested): default theme for Reddit, tree view, inspired by both Reddit and the new YouTube commenting tree-view. You can also customise the layout traversal spacing.
  • threaded: built similarly to traditional but with a few tweaks
  • link-only mode: a button that hyperlinks to Reddit, which may be best for mobile-factor devices
Examples of the same comments section is shown below on each theme to suit different preferences. Reddit has many settings on-top of custom themes:
  • Reddit editor: Rich editor or Plain markdown box. “Rich editor” is a TipTap editor skinned like the Reddit on-site editor, supporting most features out-the-box. “Plain markdown box” is just an input field where your raw markdown input will get submitted to Reddit directly.
  • Link-only mode: As explained above, effectively renders a hyperlink instead of the discussion, found at Hayami > Settings > General > Link-only mode.
  • Default Reddit sort: Change the default sort from Reddit sorting types (Best, Top, New, Old, etc).
  • Show user flairs:

  • Deep replies open in (Open in Hayami popup/open in Reddit): You can choose how replies get shown when the depth becomes too deep (too shoved to the right), triggering this action.
  • Comment layout (Threaded/Traditional): As explained & shown above.
  • Traditional layout spacing: If using traditional, you can customise the spacing (in other words, breathing room) between each layer for accessibility purposes.
  • Truncate thread lines at last reply toggle: This is having a line that goes down, no matter if that’s the last comment on the layer, or stops if it’s the last comment on the layer. Recommended settings: if using threaded, turn ‘truncate thread lines…’ off, and if using traditional, turn it on.
