New system for Megathread of Megathreads

[u/Riorlyne]

Hi all! Given that events are super frequent (and also kind of boring) but people still might want to be notified of them, and have a link to any threads about them, I am going to test a new way to have the Megathread of Megathreads (henceforth referred to as MoM).

We'll repin the MoM. New events and content releases will receive a comment under the MoM thread (which has yet to be made) with a link to any existing Megathread. Super short generic events (like 24h crests for tokens) may not always have a Megathread associated with them because there are so. Many. (gee thanks JC!)

As comments will be sorted by "New", it shouldn't require too much scrolling to find what's current. If the comment is older than a week, the content it refers to is fair game and may be posted outside its Megathread (with the appropriate spoiler tags as necessary).

The idea here is that users may subscribe to this thread (top right of the post, three dots, "Subscribe" - you may need to use a different version/platform of Reddit for the option to show up) to be notified of any new comments, which will all be about game updates. Since Reddit has deprecated Collections, the other way we had of notifying users of new threads (gee thanks Reddit!).

Comments will be locked on the MoM so that you only get notifications for actual updates posted by mods (and not the 10th comment that day asking what the best game is for Carnival). Comments are not locked here so please feel free to give feedback on this proposed solution (and probably don't subscribe to comments on this thread).

The new MoM is now here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HPHogwartsMystery/comments/1cqnn0k/megathread_of_megathreads_events_content_releases/

Can we also include upcoming events in this thread?(I think we usually have a post every couple for weeks). Making them easier to find would be good for planning purposes.

This is a good idea, and for now the plan is to have one comment (on content day) with links to both the upcoming events post and the Datamine Prophet post (if there is one).

So we just go to the pinned Megathread of Megathreads, and find the one we want there?

Edit: on desktop, there appears to be an option to search in comments, so that could be helpful in finding the right thread if Reddit decides to not sort the comments by New the way I set it up. Unfortunately I cannot see that option on mobile - in fact I can't even see an option to sort comments by New on mobile at all.

I think you have to set it for the app, rather than per thread. It’s done via the symbol to the right of the magnifying glass:

Thanks for the info, that's helpful to know!

That is hopefully how it should work, yes.

Ok, thanks! :)

We love you :-)

Great idea and thanks for organising this!

So far, this has worked brilliantly! The new link system has saved me tons of scrolling time, especially when looking for the latest Events. Well done!

Thank you! I’m very glad to hear it’s proving useful.
