Thanks for wanting to help make reddit better!
Before you submit an issue or pull request, please keep in mind a couple of considerations:
-
Don't use github issues for feature requests. If you have a feature request, please submit it to /r/ideasfortheadmins instead. Please note that while we do subscribe to /r/ideasfortheadmins, the presence of a response or lack thereof has no indication as to whether the idea will actually get implemented.
-
Don't submit unconfirmed bugs. Please make sure your bug is an actual bug before reporting it. Unfortunately, things will sometimes break on the operations side of the site. (e.g. a database slowing down, or a server being unavailable) These issues may look like a bug, but they are not. If you're not sure, make a post in /r/bugs.
-
DO NOT PUBLICLY REPORT SECURITY BUGS. If you have found a bug that can in some way compromise the security of the site or its users, please exercise responsible disclosure and e-mail security@reddit.com. We will respond to you as soon as possible. Please note that e-mails which do not pertain to security vulnerabilities in reddit's code will be ignored.
-
Please adhere to our coding standards.
After you submit your issue or request, we'll take a look and it and get back to you in a few days. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us! We're readily available:
- /r/redditdev
- reddit-dev mailing list
- #reddit-dev on freenode. Remember to use proper IRC etiquette.
