Trying to set everything up in my community to make the moderation system much easier + easy flowing next year. Any suggestions on resources to use to educate myself?
So, I made a community (first ever one) in January 2026, and it currently has 1.2k members. It's relatively small but since I didn't put much effort into it because of my current high school exams, but I do consider this a decent amount.
I'm going to be entering university this year hopefully around October, and I'm going to be VERY busy. Once my high school exams end in beginning of July, I'll need to quickly educate myself on setting up saved responses, making an automod, moniter modmail and make like template responses for common messages, devvit apps (I don't even know what devvit apps are lol), finding experienced mods to enter the team + help up grow, and much more. Plus actually IMPLEMENTING the knowledge I gained.
I wanted to ask you guys what resources I can use to "educate" or "guide" myself. Like what YouTube channels did you refer to? What communities/ subs here on reddit really helped you with the process of setting up features or also gave you resources to refer to?
I'm planning on using these btw:
- Reddit's own established guide on their website.
- Some saved posts of people here sharing advice.
- Browsing YouTube and just indulging in any video or playlist I find which can help me with this.
- Mod reserves + mod help center. ANYTHING I can get my hands on really.
Got any advice or tips for a newbie like me? Love you guys btw I'm a major lurker on this sub whenever I find free time.
