Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Install reddit enhancement suite, click comment/post, press A to upvote or Z to downvote.

I just saved you at least $15.

How is that better than clicking? You gotta move your hand to those buttons, same as moving a mouse.

[–]calomile 12 points13 points ago

a) How is OP's solution better than clicking? Unless you mount that button on your mouse.

b) RES has shortcuts for navigating the entire page, including navigating comments, clicking links, collapsing/expanding comment threads and more. You technically don't have to use a mouse.

it's about the experience of using a mounted button to control the fate of the internet, a-la a god

[–]calomile 13 points14 points ago

True, everyone wants a big red button to press. This is just one step closer to that fantasy.

[–]mybrochacho[S] 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That is exactly the point. No one would NEED this but if you are into Audrino this is a fairly simple and fun project to do.

[–]planet_rob 0 points1 point ago

By the way, I wasn't putting down the item, just so you know. I was just commenting to calomile.

I would say that almost all people favor using a mouse, since it's been a standard method of operation for around 3 decades now. Also, isn't there a button on your mouse already??

RES has shortcuts for navigating the entire page, including navigating comments, clicking links, collapsing/expanding comment threads and more. You technically don't have to use a mouse.

So, pushing buttons on your keyboard is somehow much less work than clicking a button on a mouse? Sorry, I just don't get how using the keyboard instead of the mouse is any better. Now, if a device made it where you could mentally move between pages and click with your mind, then OK. But this is nothing but moving the SAME work over to the keyboard away from the mouse. You're still having to push buttons, except now there are multiple buttons (keys) to push instead of ONE (usually). Even to scroll down, one only has to barely move a finger a 1/3 of an inch, and scrolling with the wheel requires barely any movement with the finger. In most cases, moving around a page with the pointer requires only some wrist movement, no arm movement.

Don't use the mouse at all. You can also use the J and K keys to navigate between posts. If they're images use the View Images button to expand them all first (requires using the mouse for that first step), and then use J to advance through all the images and use A or Z to upvote/downvote.

Actually, even if you were just using the mouse to move around, why not leave your left hand near the A and Z buttons and then you don't need to move it unless you go to write a comment. In which case you're moving your hand anyway.

[–]prose-before-hoes 2 points3 points ago

Just upvoted you with A.

[–]christian-mann 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You can also press X to expand all of the images within the comment (or post).

Note that Vimperator uses completely different shortcut keys, so blacklist Reddit if you use both.

[–]calomile 0 points1 point ago

Actually, pressing the number that corresponds to the image will open it in a new tab, you can then use your browsers shortcut key to swap tabs.

R to reply.

Get a laptop. Discover the magic of doing everything in your lap with one hand.

You do not need a laptop to discover the magic of doing everthing in your lap with one hand. zing!

RES suite tip (for the Lazy) A & Z = Upvote and downvote J & K = Previous post and next post

Personally I just browse through and click A or J and get to page 6 in about an hour.

It works for most subreddits except for /f7u12 when people post 38 panel comics. Also be warned: DO NOT USE THIS FUNCTION ON /r/spacedicks ಠ_ಠ

I have the two side buttons on my mouse configured to be A/Z in my browser. Actually I'm lying - I don't, but I'm doing it now.

Awesome job I love arduino projects. Some people are saying "What's the point, just click!" but they don't understand the art of Chindōgu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chind%C5%8Dgu

Here are some more examples of useful products are that in fact useless: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/useless-japanese-inventions/

It's a fun and creative hobby.

Hereis the link to a tutorial on how to make your own.

Rather than spending $ and wasting the resources of an full Audrino, you could just take an old keyboard's control board, match the traces for A and Z to switches and install Reddit enhancement suite.

[–]mybrochacho[S] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Even if you build this you have to use RES

I guess they are just clicking fast enough to need a 16Mhz AVR. So much so to sacrifice the other 10 analog inputs, 7 PWMs...

I knew a Makerbot was involved with that project! So excited I can now do these things at home with mine.

maybe there's a way to remap Scroll Lock and Pause/Break to be up/down vote and you can sell special Reddit Keyboards with specially made up/downvote keys.

I think if you would add a little ball underneath it to move it around you'd really be onto something.

For that slim margin of people who have Reddit Gold but do not use Reddit Enhancement Suite.

If it came with reddit gold, along with a few other little things (tasteful diecut keychain alien for example) I would sign up me and my wife --today

I honestly don't get reddit gold...I mean reddit is perfect the way it is, how could there be a better version?

also I love random pictures of beef sandwiches

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Somebody anonymously gifted me with a month of Reddit Gold the other day... The best part about it was the note they sent with it.

my philosophy is that if you pay for the servers you use, you're now a customer and your wishes need be considered when running this site.

it's harder to corporately destroy what I like about this site if other people don't have to fund it entirely

There is a way easier way to accomplish something like this by taking the micro controller out of the back of a usb keyboard. The hardest part is figuring out which contacts work which buttons, but once you do this, you can easily solder two buttons two it and stick them in an enclosure.

should only be a down vote button as the content recently has been poor.

edit - see what i mean, down voted.
