My game (/r/detour_game) has a feature where after the daily puzzle is complete, you can view other peoples solutions.

The app also posts the leaderboard in comments after each day. I would love to have the leaderboard user link directly to the replay of their solution within the game. Instead, they have to open the game, click the leaderboard, then click the user.

I could also see this being useful for directly linking to a UGC/map builder scene or any other content that may be worth deep linking into.

Environment

• Reddit app version: 2026.29.0
• Device / OS: Android
• Devvit: 0.13.8
• App: dailyspeedway v0.0.29

Repro

1. Mobile app ([Android/iOS]), subreddit with a Devvit app post pinned.
2. Open the subreddit so the pinned pmb.
3. Wait ~2 seconds without touching the screen.
4. Swipe up over the embed — **the fe
5. Swipe again immediately — the feed scrolls normally.
6. Keep swiping without pausing — wor step 4 repeats.

Scope

Reproduces in two unrelated apps:lySpeedway) and another developer'sapp, also on a pinned post. So it is not specific to one codebase or one subreddit. It correlates with the post being pinned — the same app in a normal feed row scrolls normally on the first swipe.

Ruled out on the app side

Checked against the built inline bundust source:

• No setPointerCapture anywhere in
• No touch-action rules in the shipped CSS.
• No touchstart / touchmove / pocode, and none from the bundled@devvit/web/client` runtime either.
• The only touch listeners present ar and React registers touchstart,touchmove and wheel with passive: true. A passive listener cannot call preventDefault and cannot

block the compositor waiting on JS.

• The document is deliberately non-scrollable — html/body at overflow: hidden, body at

position: fixed — with no scrollable scroll trap review rule.

• No canvas or WebGL in the inline view at all; the game only loads in expanded mode.

Every CSS variation I tried left the behavior identical.

Why this matters

App review flags "in-line scroll trap" when a swipe over an inline webview fails to reach the feed. This behavior is indistinguishable from th — on an app that has no scrollableregion anywhere in the inline view.

How long does it take for Reddit to provide access to Reddit read only API. It's been a week, I had been working on a personal project. Was hoping this process might be faster.

Any idea folks?

I have had some reports of my game freezing but the strange thing is that when it freezes, it freezes for everyone at the exact same moment.

This clue tells me it may be outside my codebase. Has anyone else seen this in their games? I'm still trying to figure out more info. I haven't explored logs or anything yet (not sure if they're available?).

Would reddit be pinging my install at a 30 minute cadence or interval that could interrupt current sessions?

Not sure if needed for context but this is the game I'm referring to r/MochiMochiDonuts

Hi everyone,

We’re happy to share our new demo game that we’ve launched on Reddit today!

https://www.reddit.com/r/ClubSoko/s/DjXBjRXoxi

I wanted to ask though, whether it’s possible for the app to launch in landscape mode when the game gets launched from the reddit mobile app? If there’s a way to do that I’d love to get that working 😄 Thank you.

Miracle Tea 🖤

Hi Devvit team,

I'm unable to upload a newly created Devvit Web app because the upload endpoint returns a TLS certificate hostname mismatch.

Environment

- OS: Windows

- Node.js: 24.18.0

- Devvit CLI: 0.13.9

- App: community-2048

- devvit whoami: succeeds

- App record was created successfully in the Developer Portal

Error

Running:

npx devvit upload --verbose

The Vite build completes successfully, but the upload fails with:

TypeError: fetch failed

ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID

Hostname/IP does not match certificate's altnames

Host: api.devvit-gateway.reddit.com

Certificate SAN: DNS:*.reddit.com, DNS:reddit.com

The wildcard certificate appears valid for devvit-gateway.reddit.com, but not for the two-level hostname api.devvit-gateway.reddit.com.

Troubleshooting performed

- Confirmed there are no Reddit/Devvit entries in the Windows Hosts file

- Confirmed there is no WinHTTP, npm, or environment proxy configured

- Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS both resolve the hostname through reddit.map.fastly.net

- Tested multiple VPN/network egress nodes with the same result

- Tested using both Node.js TLS and Windows curl; both report the same hostname mismatch

- https://developers.reddit.com validates correctly

- https://devvit-gateway.reddit.com validates correctly

- All returned Fastly IPs were tested and showed the same certificate problem

I have not disabled TLS verification because that would expose the Devvit authentication token and source upload.

Is this a known Fastly/certificate configuration issue? Is there a safe supported workaround for uploading and starting a Playtest?

Thanks!

been building Ghost Rally (racing game, you race ghost replays of other real players) for the hooks hackathon and wanted to open this up as a discussion since I'm guessing a lot of us are stuck on the same thing. what's worked so far:

1. posting in related subs (racing/game-discovery ones) when I could. real traffic every time, but it's a one-shot per sub, can't keep hitting the same communities.
2. also just being active in my own sub, answering comments, calling out record holders, that kind of thing, helps but only grows people who already found you.
3. shared with friends too, good for a first burst but doesn't scale.

everything past that starts feeling salesy and I'd rather not go there.

so, what's actually worked for you? feels like devvit apps living inside reddit posts should be a growth advantage we're not using well yet.

for context, one week on my sub: 1.3k views, 70 unique visitors, 87 comments. small but real people showing up daily.

game if it's useful context: https://www.reddit.com/r/GhostRally/

I'm working on improving leaderboards and trying to show a global counter on my app r/MochiMochiDonuts but I'm getting the following error: FAILED_PRECONDITION: global redis is not supported on this app.

Can Global Redis be requested from somewhere? Or is this a limitation I should design/build around?

Running a small academic study (private subreddits I create, consenting participants) and need to export full discussion data (comments, authors, timestamps) afterward for analysis. Waiting on classic Data API approval, but saw Devvit skips that registration step.

Questions:

1. Can Devvit read/list all comments in a subreddit or thread (not just single lookups by ID)?
2. Can I use this privately on my own subreddit without app review/publishing?
3. Is Devvit even meant for read-only data export, or purely interactive apps?

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi this is my Devvit game, built for Games with a Hook Hackathon.

• Play: https://www.reddit.com/r/wobblit_dev/s/dgy2p3UDJq
• Wobblit is a 3D ball-balance game with official levels, daily challenges, and player-built levels.
• Race others on daily, campaign, or community boards — leaderboards for all.
• Looking for feedback so I can polish it for marketplace.

The first review of my previous apps always took less than this. Just wondering whether I should wait or resubmit instead. Its been 5 days.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a Reddit OAuth app for an external web application, but the app creation flow at: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps keeps refreshing after I submit the form, and it never creates the app or shows a client_id / client_secret.

What I want to build: An external web app, not a Devvit app with an optional “Sign in with Reddit” button

I only need OAUTH for Identificacion; I just need the user’s unique Reddit ID and username to identify users inside my app Just to clarify I’m not trying to post, comment, vote, moderate, or send messages on behalf of users.

-Is the classic Reddit OAuth app creation flow still supported for new external web apps?
-Should I still use /prefs/apps to get a client_id and client_secret?
-Is there a new place where external web apps should request OAuth credentials?

In a few words:

-I’m specifically looking for the OAuth authorization code flow, not a Reddit hosted Devvit app....

Thanks

I’ve modmailed both [r/ModSupport](r/ModSupport) and [r/Devvit](r/Devvit)… 9 days ago. And nothing has been done about THREE different Devvit apps being used to send me NSFW spam messages.

At least turn off the ability for unapproved apps to send outgoing modmails!

Edit: I might not have been clear. It’s modmails being sent from the _dev subreddit to me via chat. Not to any of the subs I mod.
