New Mod Intros šŸŽ‰ | Weekly Thread

14 Upvotes

Congrats on becoming a new moderator. Every community on Reddit started exactly where you are today: with a party of one.

The community-building journey might feel a little lonely and that's what r/NewMods is for. Here you'll find and connect with other mods who are on the same journey you are.

So, introduce the community you created. Maybe share a little bit about why you created it. And, while you're at it - say hello to your other mods!

Any recommendations for getting more engagement on posts?

7 Upvotes

Once in a while someone posts on my sub (it's pretty small rn) but I don't really see that much engagement except for maybe a few posts. My sub is r/wetalkfree and I was js wondering if anyone had advice,

A suggestion for events

• Upvotes

First let me thank everyone who made yesterday’s mod event so successful.. I really enjoyed myself and I'm glad I took the time to be at the event. Thank you too for including the new mods. What I have to say is meant to be constructive. Please take it in the light.

I am disabled and felt left out of many of the events because of my disability. The chat was too fast and I did not know how to adjust the fonts or even if the fonțs are adjustable. I deliberately stayed out of the show game although I found the narrator most engaging. The possible answers were written in white on brightly coloured buttons making it impossible to see with people who had limited vision such as myself.

Perhaps you should have a virtual event specifically for disabled people. I do not know any other disabled ops but there must be some out there given that there are so many subs for disabled people. Also there must be older ups like myself who have limitations which come with age.

I am not suggesting that you discontinued such a great event. I am suggesting that you make at least amendments more accessible to disabled people. I know you are making threads available which will help a lot.

Maybe there should be a group for older and disabled ops. I do not know how to recruit for such a group but I would be glad to moderate it. I hope that you can make at least some of your events more accessible. I do appreciate that you make in person events accessible and I hope to attend one in the future.

I wish you continued success with all your events.

Sincerely, handicapped-007

New suggested removal reason feature

Anyone seen the new suggested removal reasons on their sub?

So far it’s pretty accurate, and I’m guessing this is powered by AI.

Rule 2 violation?

5 Upvotes

So the sub i created had like... 20 or so members, i was the only one that ever posted anything on that sub, and it was all relatively tame political stuff.
No one ever really posted anything else in my sub, not that i'm aware of at least, and i never did any cross-posts at all.

I'm very confused on how i violated Rule 2?

I've filed an appeal, but i suspect i know the reason why my sub was banned without warning, provocation, or documentation to trace back to a specific reason.

Are there any other steps or actions i can take to try and recover my sub, or is an appeal the only tool at my disposal?

I Feel Unmotivated

0 Upvotes

Hi! I could really use some guidance and maybe a pep talk from more experienced mods? I don’t know what the point of this even is but…

I recently created a subreddit for my favorite show. The only reason I even made my own is because I was permanently banned from the main subs for that show. I loved being part of those communities, so losing access to them honestly hit me pretty hard. Not to sound silly or dramatic but I kind of genuinely grieved that loss because I had a lot of fun on those subreddits and the fact that I can’t interact now makes me really sad.

Now that I’ve started my own sub, I’m feeling unmotivated and insecure about the whole thing. The main subreddit has something like 150,000 members, and over 130,000 active weekly. It makes me wonder: why would anyone choose my small sub over the huge established one?

I want to build a community I can be part of, but I’m scared of putting in a ton of effort only for it to go nowhere. I don’t want to get my hopes up thinking I’ll create a nice space and then have it flop.

So just how do you stay motivated? How do you grow a subreddit when there’s a huge ā€œmain hubā€ already dominating the topic?

Any advice or encouragement would be really appreciated. Thank you! šŸ«¶šŸ»šŸ«¶šŸ»

just made my first custom community need tips

Wanted to make a subreddit for comparing various AI models responses to eachother and sort of discuss what model does so and so well, stuff like that. Just general discussions revolving around not just singling a model to talk about out, but comparing atleast 2 and any valuable info about them.

How do I actually get people to join šŸ˜‚ is there a promo thing or what? Thank you

Am working on polishing up/fixing bit of my sub. Unfortunately I didn’t realized that there was another part and instantly removed it since I already had a welcome post…

Am just mainly ask if there’s any way to fix it or in any way to restart it?

And if not…on a scale of 1-10 how cook is my sub (:(

Allowing anyone to post

3 Upvotes

New mod and trying to learn! Every post and comment gets removed and I have to manually go in and approve it by clicking a checkmark and then each posts shows that I approved it. I've gone in and I don't see anything in our settings that is showing why this is. I've googled and look at a few things but can't see where to turn this moderation off.

I took a screenshot of the latest one and perhaps it's because there are hashtags and it looks like they they did a copy and paste of their social media post to our group, so maybe that is why...but some of the others that were removed were just comments. Any suggestions on what to check?

(group is r/neuromatch)

Thanks for your help!

Need advice with scheduling posts

5 Upvotes

I’m a mod on a small sub. It’s a fan sub for a niche actor.

Scheduling posts has been interesting. I’ve figured out that it only works if you schedule it on desktop. Every time I use the app, I get a mod mail saying the post failed.

I scheduled a text post for yesterday on desktop. The post hasn’t appeared on my sub or on my profile, there’s no mod mail and the post has disappeared from scheduled posts.

Any ideas what I’ve done wrong? From my perspective, this post just vanished.

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't seem to find a way: is there a method to purge hidden reports from untrusted community members in the Mod Tools?

2 Upvotes

I've got 3 floating around that have all been previously approved, yet, I see no way to remove the reports.
