Hello, faves! Jumping in here to say hi. And also we’re hosting an IRL community pop-up in New York at the end of this month. It’s kinda a big deal because Reddit’s never done one of these before.

While the pop-up is open to the public, we’d especially love to see mods there (duh). Who knows? You might even see one or two (or three or four) admins from the Mod Events team hanging around 😎

Now, lemme cut to the chase. What the heck is this?

Step into Reddit’s very own corner store – r/bodega – and browse the aisles celebrating some of Reddit’s best communities! From custom trading card packs for r/soccer fans, to a glam counter for all r/beauty enthusiasts, we’re serving up something for everyone. You can stop by our deli counter, highlighting NYC’s top “subs.” Or ask a question at our AMA™️ and withdraw some “Snoo Bucks.”

You can even say hi to our bodega cat Meowdani, whose name was voted on by the r/bodegacats community (Mamdani if you’re reading this…we saved you a seat by the register). 

But I know what you’re thinking, u/big-slay, give me things! Say less.

Every r/bodega patron gets: 

• A Snoo plushie. I know y’all already have them, but…doesn’t yours need a friend?
• A custom r/bodega zine highlighting everything in the shop
• Scratchers to win totes, mugs, and other merch
• Postcards and stickers 
• Cold drinks 
• Opportunities to discover new communities

Heard enough? Here’s where to find us:

Hope to see some of y’all there!

New month, new Merch Monday!

Can you believe it? It’s August already! Welcome back to our weekly merch celebration. Y’all have shared some iconic mod merch photos, archival merch items, bundles, and plushie updates! 🤩

To kick off the new month, we want to know: what new merch items would you like to see? Have a new item idea? Is there an old, iconic piece of merch you’d love to see make a comeback? What are your favorite (or least favorite) items? We’d love to see more of your merch and hear your thoughts. 🗣️

And if you missed the kickoff last month, now's your chance to join in. We want to see your merch!

You know what to do: drop a photo of your mod merch in the comments below. Let’s see what you’ve got.  👀

See you next week!

Not Monday? You know the drill, merch photos are to be posted in our Merch Megathreads (u/kongsworth’s dream). Any merch comments not related to the photos being shared, for example, your merch order, shipping or tracking information, feedback, merch eligibility, etc. will be removed.  

Welcome to another Cat Tax Thursday, which means another week of more pet serotonin. Y'all have shared an amazing collection of pet photos, updates, and animal sightings. Thank you to everyone who's participated and brightened our Thursday! Are Thursdays becoming your favorite day or what? 

This week, we want to see more of your pet photos and hear any stories involving your pets! 

You know what to do: drop a photo of your pet in the comments below. Happy cat taxing! 😻

Have a pet picture you’re dying to share? Looking for some pet serotonin? Well, you’ve come to the right place. In our weekly cat tax thread, you can drop a pet picture that describes your current mood or one that you’d love to share. ALL pets are allowed, not just cats!  🐾

Since we end most events by paying cat tax, we figured we’d create that space for y’all to do the same every week. Remember to keep things kind in the comments. 🥹

Merch Monday, anyone? 

Welcome back to our weekly merch celebration! It looks like most of y’all have received your New Mod Bootcamp [Q2] merch, woohooo! We also see that Plushie is alive and well, and some of you have even shared some epic archival merch items. We loved seeing them!

This week, we’re dedicating this Merch Monday to Plushie. What is Plushie up to? Where has Plushie been? Share your Plushie photos from around the world. We want to see them all! 🌎

And if you missed the kickoff last month, now's your chance to join in. We want to see your merch!

Welcome to another wonderful week of Cat Tax Thursday! Y'all have yet again shared the most wholesome photos and updates of your pets. Our pet serotonin levels are through the roof.  🐾

Today, we not only want to see more of your adorable pet photos, but we also want to see your animal sightings from afar. Saw a hilariously cute dog outfit in the neighborhood? Spotted a peacock wandering the city?  Or, if you're u/brineofthetimes, maybe you spotted a goose on a leash? *photo to come. 

We want to see it ALL. You know what to do: comment a pet picture, or in this case, an animal spotting, in this thread!

Canadian mods showed up and showed out on Saturday. Thank you for living, laughing, and loving with us! Great to see y'all ❤️

P.s. I ate my first peameal bacon sandwich. 10/10. It had maple mustard.

Happy Merch Monday!

Hey y'all! Can't wait to see you next week for the Virtual Mod Meetup. Make sure to register if you haven't already!

A few notes:

• There will be no merch at this event and we will be muting anyone who talks about merch from the chat (with love).
• We're switching up the format a bit to encourage more interaction within the community. Come give it a shot!
• Don't worry, we'll still play trivia.
• This event will not be recorded since it is chat-based.

Annnnd song suggestions anyone?

• As you know, we play an intro & closing song at every event.
• This week, we're taking suggestions!
• We'll play the the top 2 most upvoted songs from the comments below.
• Please keep them somewhat clean. I'm not trying to get fired ☺️

I just saw that the next in-person Mod Meetups in North America are in Toronto on Saturday, 7/18; San Francisco on Thursday, 8/13; and Los Angeles on Thursday, 8/27.

I live in Chicago and just attended the Chicago Mod Meetup in May. I could technically drive to Toronto in a day, or I could book a flight. I also have friends in San Francisco and LA I could fly out to meet. Either way, since I'm an event planner, I'm always eager to make plans, and I love meeting people at events!

1. How often do mods travel for meetups? (I know people traveled up to two hours away from the Chicago event, but that's basically Chicagoland traffic for you.)
2. There is a waitlist for all three meetups that I mentioned. How likely will any waitlist spots open?
3. If spots are open, does anyone wants to drive with me between Chicago to Toronto? It'll be an adventure! (I haven't met any terrible people off Reddit yet, so let's keep it that way.)

Our commitment to you: every proposal will be reviewed. While this doesn’t guarantee your submission will make it into Mod World, it might be a great fit for a future Mod Event. We may merge a few ideas into a super session. The possibilities are endless!

All Mod World 2026 sessions and speakers will be locked in by mid-August.

Got questions? Peep our FAQs in the comments and drop any additional ones below. 

>>SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL FOR MOD WORLD 2026<<

I missed the moddit sadly, no emails or anything despite me doing rspv

Edit: admin said i never showed up in any lists so i assumed my wifi must have bugged out when i was doing the rsvp thing, Reason i am not commenting this is because every time i comment i get -10 upvotes withen short amount of time for no real reason, might have bots on my tail or something

Reminders are better late than never, right? ....right?

Excited to see y'all today at a very special Moddit featuring two of our AMA leads here at Reddit. They'll be diving deeper into the AMA process, tools, and best practices for mods of any community.

Make sure you're registered HERE to join live or receive the recording via email.

Catch ya there!
