r/NewMods

Im tired of my subreddit not being popular. infact, i always had a dream of my subreddit going popular. Is there ways?

Rules: no spamming and no bullying no harm no context and no bad things we wanna keep reddit safe enjoy reddit community!

Mine has.

thanks reddit for adding me as a new modarator!

Hey,

I am a bit of an experienced mod but I've taken over quite a big UK TV based sub as the current mods were inactive. The queue for that sub has obviously never been worked. Is there a way to mass remove the whole queue at all as me and the other mod do not have the time to go through each one. There are hundreds!

Hey everyone,

Complete Reddit mod beginner here.

I was looking around Reddit for a dedicated space focused on the intersection of golf and fatherhood. Early dawn patrol rounds, backyard practice setups, teaching kids the game, and balancing 4 hour rounds with family life. I couldn't find a single active community for it, so I figured why not just build one myself?

I just set up r/GolfingDads, but truth be told, I have zero moderation experience and have no idea what I’m doing lol.

For those who have built communities from scratch:

What are the top 2 3 settings or tools I should configure first? (Rules, post flairs, spam filters, AutoMod?)

What’s the best way to get the ball rolling from zero members without coming off as a spammer on related subreddits?

What’s one rookie mistake you made early on that I should avoid?

Appreciate any advice, resources, or checklist recommendations you guys have for a brand new creator!

And here I am: r/girlstoners a place for girls of all ages to talk about many topics where we all have in common 🍁.
I wanted to ask how to set up answers by females only or open to everybody, chosen by OP ? And also how to use bots for automatic answers if someone is violating that rule?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

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!

Hi everyone. How to change pfp of my subreddit?

Hi, I am new to running a subreddit.
Just wondering about the post's approvals, (no one have posted on the subreddit yet, only I am posting a few example posts) like I get the Approve or Reject button after posting, I am not entirely sure if that means that I have to approve every post for it to be able to be seen by others OR does the post get posted, and people can see it until a moderator rejects it, and it doesn't really matter to keep clicking approve for each post?

I want to build a Reddit community from scratch with a small team of people who are actually interested in making it grow.

I'm looking for up to 4 other people (5 people total).

Ideally, I'd like people with different strengths:

Community building / subreddit growth

Moderation & AutoMod

Content & post ideas

Design / branding

Someone experienced with Reddit communities

You don't need to be an expert at everything. I'm mainly looking for people who are willing to actually work on it rather than joining and disappearing.

We'll decide the topic, name, rules, design and growth strategy together.

If you've successfully built or moderated a subreddit before, definitely mention your experience.

Maximum 5 people. Once we have enough people, we'll start building it together.

I wonder why many people find it interesting to create and grow their own communities. I want to do the same, but the effort required to develop one without immediate benefits makes me hesitant. What drives your motivation?
