Subreddit PSA: Replaced by Flair Emojis, Old Reddit User Flairs will be removed by November 1

After discovering Reddit's relatively new flair emojis system when building up /r/PlaySoulframe, I began work transferring each and every flair available on the Warframe Flair selector into the subreddit flair emojis list. Afterward, the flair list was caught up to date after nearly 3 years of no additions, and I am now regularly maintaining new additions whenever possible.

Old Reddit flairs are no longer updated, consume a lot of CSS capacity that may be needed in the near future, cannot be self-applied, and the bot that applies the flairs can occasionally not function without being restarted. Given the flair emojis are nearly identical in functionality to the Old Reddit flairs with very little downside (smaller text limit paired with certain Emojis), we've decided to remove Old Reddit flairs in the near future.

As such, it is encouraged to select a New Reddit flair emoji, as flairs using the old reddit system will only appear as text after being removed. If you messaged the /u/CephalonKhuon bot to get your flair, you have an Old Reddit flair. If your flair has text surounded by colon characters (such as :Excalibur:), you have nothing to worry about.

Below is a link to a video showcasing the entire list of flair emojis available to you. Additionally, there are tutorials showcasing how to apply flairs.

/r/Warframe Subreddit Flair Emoji List

All

It is suggested to remove your current flair before applying a new one. Not doing so may prevent flair emojis from showing up after creating a new one.

Old Reddit

On the sidebar, below the subscriber total is the flair display. Click on "edit".
From there, select "Flair Text Here" and type in your desired flair, clicking save when you are done. A flair icon selector is not available, but can be manually typed in using the name of the emoji flair surrounded by colon characters (:example:).

New Reddit

On the sidebar, above "Filter by Flair" is the user flair preview. Click the pencil icon. Select "Flair Text Here" and type in the flair you want, clicking apply when you are done. Clicking the smiley icon opens an icon selector that allows for search.

Apollo

Unfortunately, it appears that Apollo cannot modify a flair template even though the template allows for it. If you want a custom flair, apply the flair using a different Reddit platform.

Most Reddit Third-party apps (Boost, Sync, RIF Is Fun, Infinity, etc.)

In the top right of the subreddit page are three dots (or sometimes 🛈). Tap it and then tap "Select User Flair". From there, tap "Flair Text Here" and modify the flair template as you see fit. Depending on the app, a flair icon selector and even a search function will be available. If not, manually type in flair emoji name surrounded by colon characters (:example:).
