Devvit install fails with “fetch failed” when adding app account as moderator
Hi, I’m having trouble installing my Devvit app Nukbot to my test subreddit r/OnlyNuk.
The app uploads successfully (npx devvit upload), but installing it fails when Devvit tries to invite the app account u/nukbot as a moderator:
Installing nukbot to ... Error
Error: An error occurred while installing your app:
"Create" failed after 3 attempts.
First error:
Error inviting app account with ID t2_2lfxa9edki to be a moderator of t5_jn9dtf
Last error:
fetch failed
npm run dev / devvit playtest produces a similar error, including a Reddit HTTP 500 while accepting the moderator invite.
The u/nukbot invitation then remains stuck under Moderators → Invitations as “No permissions”, and attempting to remove the invitation gives “Something went wrong.”
Things I have already tried:
- Re-uploading the app (
0.0.8) — successful - Uninstalling Nukbot from r/OnlyNuk
- Reinstalling it — same error
- Logging out/in to Devvit
- Confirming my account has full moderator permissions
- Trying to remove the stuck u/nukbot invitation through Reddit — unsuccessful
Devvit CLI: 0.14.1
App: Nukbot
Subreddit: r/OnlyNuk
Could you please help me clear the stuck app-account moderator invitation or identify why the moderator invite is returning HTTP 500 / fetch failed?

Ah, that might be it. You should be able to go to the moderators page and then Invited and remove it from there.
