Educate user about reddit preference "don't use subreddit style"

[jewel-andraia]

I see the occasional question like how do I turn off subreddit style for all subreddits? RES could educate users that there exists a reddit preference > display options > ☑ allow subreddits to show me custom styles.

I propose that, every 4th or 5th subreddit that a user disables style on, RES shows a notification suggesting they disable all styles. (Note: every nth subreddit, not every nth user turned off subreddit style. RES already knows which/how many subreddits you've disabled RES on. Also, if the user is switching the toggle often, this avoids excessive notifications... this should probably also not fire more than once every day.)

re edited note "this notification should not fire more than once per day", I would like to improve the notification module:

• modules.notifications.notificationType.fields["frequency"]: always, [at most] 1x / 10min, 1x/hour, 1x/day, 1x/week, 1x/month. Suggestions on time spans?
• modules.notifications tracks last time a notificationType was fired (if frequency is not always) and checks that against frequency before showing notification

maybe 1 per session ? Not sure if usefull but maybe.

[jewel-andraia]

that sounds useful!

[jewel-andraia]

maybe it should be split into: max [ # off times ] per [ time span ]. "0 -- anything" just means "always always"; "1 -- always" would be good for one-off notifications; everything else is normal.

Fixed by #1094 ?

[jewel-andraia]

a little fixed. i still want something to target people who use RES's "Use subreddit style" checkbox but don't know about reddit's preference.

[matheod]

Une notification la première fois qu'on click sur cette checkbox ?

[jewel-andraia]

I was thinking-- show notification every time the user clicks the checkbox, with cooldown: 1000*60*60*24*7 so they only see the message once a week.

[matheod]

Hum ... I found that very intrusive. But as we can disable the notification, why not.

Or you could also count number of disabled subreddit style, and if it's > 10, then show the notification with your cooldown thing.

[jewel-andraia]

as we can disable the notification

exactly what i was thinking. if people complain about it enough i'll make a bigger button or something.

if >10 subs disabled

yes this is great idea.
