Well it hides it from your profile, but it’s still publicly posted on Reddit. It’s just searching the entire site. Bit silly that it doesn’t filter your username from the search function when turned on though.
A lot of people don’t realise you can still see all their posts. I mainly use Reddit for porn these days and a lot of times people will post nudes with their face censored, hide their posts, then show their face in regular subreddits not realising it’s all still searchable.
I’m pretty sure this doesn’t work if a user has hidden their posts
It 100% does. Did it earlier today.
Gotta love clientside permissions implementations
Competent devs solved that like in 2007…
forums aren’t meant to have hidden profiles
