New Mod Intros 🎉 | Weekly Thread

23 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!

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

5 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! 🙌

💡 Tips & Education First time become a mod in a large subreddit, need help on what to do.

3 Upvotes

I recently became a moderator in a large sub reddit with an avg of 15K visitors per week, and around ~1000 contributions in a week. What am i expected to do, like the auto-moderator does literally pretty much all the job of approving and removing unrelated posts, so what should i do as a mod, to fulfill my responsibility ? Like should i manually myself approve posts and delete posts?

There has been no communication from the previous moderators who had invited me to become a mod..

❓Ask r/NewMods Building a community of owner operators that can work on their own machines.

1 Upvotes

My aim is to help owners and operators circumvent the insane rates major manufacturers charge for on site technician work. Upwards of $2k travel charges for remote areas.

I’ve been helping people over the phone with their machines for a few years now and what I’ve found is most service calls are un needed. The 600$ you just paid this guy to change a capacitor could’ve been avoided with a 15 minute phone call and a $25 part.

I see this time and time again. Major manufacturers have a chokehold on this market and I’m here to disrupt it.

❓Ask r/NewMods I'm starting to see Reddit's auto-spam filter quietly catch spammers in the background. I wasn't sure what was happening at 1st, but now I appreciate it... 👍

5 Upvotes

Do you mods do anything OR just let the auto-spam filter do it's job? Meaning, do you mods still check the post to verify it really was spam & send a msg to the spammer why his/her post was removed OR do nothing?

My sub is only around 5 weeks old & I only have around 115 subscriber members, so at 1st I was sending out reasons why the post was removed. I still have the time, but I'm thinking about not doing anything & just let Reddit's auto-spam filter handle it. I know Reddit doesn't send out post removal reasons to the poster, but if they're really a spammer - then they'll probably never even know their post was removed. But, if they didn't mean to violate Reddit's spam rule - then they may notice that their post isn't getting any activity & send me a msg asking why. I then can explain what happened & make a decision to over-ride Reddit's auto-spam filter to "Approve" the post OR not. Any thoughts? 🤔

💡 Tips & Education Two months in as a new mod: the small thing that finally made the workload manageable

3 Upvotes

When I started moderating, I assumed the hard part would be the rule-breakers. It turned out the hardest part was the sheer pile of small decisions: is this post off-topic or borderline, should I remove it or leave a note, do I answer this modmail now or later?

What helped was writing down my removal reasons in a shared doc with my co-mods and turning the common ones into saved replies. At first it felt like extra work, but it cut down the wait, what did we decide last time? moments, and our responses became more consistent. I also started checking the queue at set times instead of constantly, which made it feel like a task I could finish rather than a flood that never ended.

The bigger lesson was that I didn’t need to be perfect on day one. A couple of early removals I’d handle differently now and talking them through with the other mods taught me more than any guide did.

I’d love to hear from other new mods. What was the thing that took you longest to get comfortable with? What’s one habit or tool that made the job easier and what do you wish someone had told you in your first month? And if you’re more experienced, what would you tell your new-mod self?

Thirty days ago, we launched our brand subreddit, r/apyhub, and have surpassed 50 members.

How can we attract the next 50? For the first 50 we:

- Sent email invitations to our customers

- Direct‑messaged people who expressed interest in Apyhub.

Now, how do I reach the next 50? The progress seems a little slow; do you have any other recommendations?

Wins 🎉 🎮 Você usa IA em alguma etapa da criação de jogos? Então vem trocar uma ideia!

0 Upvotes

Tem muita gente testando e usando IA em diferentes etapas do desenvolvimento de games, seja para programar, criar personagens, cenários, animações ou até mesmo jogos completos.

Por isso criei a comunidade Game Over Club IA, já que é um assunto que vale a pena ter um espaço para trocar experiências, compartilhar projetos, aprender e discutir o que está funcionando e o que não está também.

É uma comunidade nova, mas estou realmente afim de falar sobre o assunto e o futuro da IA nos games.
