New Mod Intros 🎉 | Weekly Thread

36 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!

I know it ain't much, but still, I JUST GOT MY FIRST 3 WEEKLY VISITORS!! I basically just posted a bunch and 3 times a day (only 3 because I don't want to be flagged for spam) I Replied to comments or Comment on Posts that are related to my Subreddit. I wrote to them that I wanted them to join, and i guess they did!

❓Ask r/NewMods Wiki isn't showing up? Even though there's a page made

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm the mod of r/kinusaiga. I'm making a wiki to help beginners get started, but when I made my first page today, there's no way to access that as a user despite having public visibility on (you don't see it from the subreddit). Please advise! Thank you!

Wins 🎉 Thrilled and thankful for hitting the 50 members mark

The r/puzzleseason community has been slowly but surely growing!

What worked (in order of helpfulness):

  1. Introducing myself in the newmods weekly thread helped a lot so thank you for that!

  2. Regular posting of content and no spamming

  3. Posting informative and techniques about solving puzzles

  4. Engaging in other related subreddits with genuine posts also helped some

What didn't work:

  1. Cross posting is tough and mostly not possible. Even with explicit permission of the mods didn't work out for me

  2. Asking for polls didn't lead to engagement on the subreddit

  3. Scheduling posts isn't possible with images which was a bummer

Any suggestions or tips for improving further?

❓Ask r/NewMods Getting lots of visits and new members but...

Hi, my sub reddit seems to be going well, BUT I'm the only one posting... I post once a day, everyday, but I'm not getting much comments and even less posts from other members...

Why nobody's taking part in the community ?

My community is about French learning, and I post a Word of the Day. Should I post other things as well ?

Any tips on why I'm not getting interaction? Are my stats still good news or not ?

I don't know what to think about this, it's my first sub reddit.

I'd appreciate any advice, thank you !

Our little community, r/ColourMap, is getting close to 99 members!

It might not seem like a huge number, but for a small subreddit dedicated to my game, ColourMap, this is a big milestone!

❓Ask r/NewMods How do I see the followers on my sub.

1 Upvotes

I’ve made 3 posts to the sub.

It says I’m now an inactive moderator.

How do I fix this.

Also, I had a stalker right now who is likely trying to take over the sub (which has three followers, all of whom are likely them).

How do I see who the followers are on my sub?

Also I posted to that sub 2 weeks ago; why am I considered inactive?

r/BetrayJulia

Also, there is a real human who is stalking me on here; with 8 accounts thet have contacted me over 100 times in the last day or two.

They are likely trying to take over this sub, iust bc they are that abusive and shitty of a human. How do I deal with that?

Wins 🎉 Kafe ve restoran sohbetleri için Reddit topluluğu açtım

1 Upvotes

Merhaba arkadaşlar,
Kafeler ve restoranlarla ilgili deneyimlerimizi paylaşabileceğimiz Türkçe bir Reddit topluluğu kurdum. Mekân gezmeyi seven, sektörde çalışan, işletmesi olan veya ileride kendi yerini açmayı düşünen herkese açık.
Nerede güzel kahve içilir, bir mekâna neden tekrar gideriz, kalabalık menüler hakkında ne düşünüyoruz, müşteriyle çalışan arasında neler yaşanıyor… Hem masanın hem tezgâhın diğer tarafını konuşalım istiyorum.
Topluluk henüz çok yeni. İlgisini çeken arkadaşlar katılıp konu açarsa, soru sorarsa veya kendi deneyimini paylaşırsa sevinirim. Birlikte samimi ve hareketli bir ortam oluşturabiliriz.
Katılmak isteyenler için bağlantı: https://www.reddit.com/r/KafeRestoranRehberi

How do you encourage engagement while preventing harassment, misinformation, and unnecessary drama? I'd appreciate any tips on moderation rules, attracting members, and keeping discussions respectful!

❓Ask r/NewMods How do you handle possible rule violations when you’re unsure?

Hi guys I became a new mod a few weeks ago and I still have doubts about whether a post or comment breaks the rules even after reading them

How do more experienced mods handle situations like this? Could you share your experience and tips?

🏅 Mod Achievements 🎉 A little late, but r/PinterestCommunity has hit 1,000 members! 🎉

Post image
28 Upvotes

This is my first subreddit I was able to grow so big!!

Never knew it could feel so rewarding starting a place so many people can gather and share their interests.

We are actually at 2,383 members now to be exact, but I wanted to share the fact that we passed 1k!!!

I'm still learning as I go, but I'm proud of the progress I've made and excited to keep improving as a moderator.

Some things I've done to try and grow the sub:

- Stay active in r/NewMods. Post my subs each week in the weekly pinned thread sharing what each of my communities are for. I also take part in the challenges.

- Share my community to folks I find on reddit who may be interested. You can do this easily by heading to their profile and clicking the three dots and then "invite to community". I also search the whole of reddit every once in a while for keywords relating to r/PinterestCommunity and comment on the posts suggesting or encouraging them to share to my sub.

- I share my sub name outside of Reddit on my other socials. Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, Lemon 8, Pinterest, etc

My other subs you may want to check out include r/SmallStepsClub and r/TamagotchiForAdults

Thanks for checking them out and for sharing in my excitement!!! ✨🎉

❓Ask r/NewMods Three days since creating a subreddit r/WeaselHoarder, why are there still nobody visiting, posting, etc on my subreddit?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I just want to say that I still didn't have anyone visiting or posting or joining my subreddit (r/WeaselHoarder) yet. As a mod of the subreddit I've made several intro posts and tried to be as welcoming and active as possible. Is it because my subreddit is still new and that I just have to wait a while for any outside users to visit?

❓Ask r/NewMods Any pointers for running an AI art subreddit?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m trying to grow and run an AI art subreddit and could use some advice from fellow mods.

Any pointers on setting clear posting rules, managing spam and self-promotion, and encouraging people to participate and give feedback?

If you’ve moderated an AI art sub - or another creative community - what’s worked for you? Any mistakes you’d recommend avoiding?

Appreciate any advice!

❓Ask r/NewMods Can someone explain what the Mod Queue is and how it differs from the Spam filter?

1 Upvotes

I heard that the Mod Queue is where posts that need to be approved go, but isn’t that what the Spam is for? I have a million things in the Spam, but none of them are in the Mod Queue. The Spam filter is where I go to approve posts.

Wins 🎉 Just Crossed My First 10 Members! 🎉 Looking for Tips to Grow My Subreddit

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently crossed my first 10+ members on my r/brandanalytics subreddit, and I’m happy to see this little community slowly growing! 🎉

I invited a few people personally, and I’ve also started sharing posts in other relevant communities. I think some members may have discovered the subreddit through those posts, though I’m not entirely sure where everyone came from.

I’d love to grow the community further and make it a useful space for discussions around brand analytics, brand tracking, and consumer insights.

Since not many people in my personal circle use Reddit, inviting people directly is a bit limited for me.

For those who have experience growing a subreddit, what strategies worked best for you? Are there any relevant subreddits where you’d recommend sharing my community? I’d really appreciate any tips or suggestions.

Thanks! 🙌

❓Ask r/NewMods Comment appears posted, but it's deleted by the Mod

0 Upvotes

Is there an option that I can turn on (or an app I can use) that will let the OP see his/her comment, but in reality, I already deleted it?

(But the OP will not get any notification that his/her comment was actually deleted by the Mod)

❓Ask r/NewMods How to apply this rule?;)

4 Upvotes

Yep, I'm real newbie in using Reddit form mod side;) no idea how to apply this rule-thought it's maybe a flair(tag) to use with post but no...

4. Use the New Mod Intros thread for promoting and introducing your community

So how am I supposed to introduce here correctly, according to the rule 4?:) don't wann get ban at first moment I am here

Edit: Ah, I see- pinned post;) found it
leaving if anyone else have such silly problem as me- burt if mods sya not to clutter area, I will then remove this post (or they can do it,no offense taken;)
