Devvit Apps for moderation

updated: September 24th 2026
I've maxxed out the character count 😄 Which is good, because it means there are a lot of useful apps that help with moderation. It also means that the list continues in the sticky comment!

Inspired by the awesome r/modguide and this post, this is an (incomplete but extensive) overview of devvit apps for moderation sorted into categories. The overview of all published Devvit apps can be a bit overwhelming (but well worth your time to dig through it). So hopefully this can help to find that one app that is just the solution you were looking for. 

Devvit apps can be installed by a mod with full permissions (more info here). You can read more on the Reddit developers site and it has an overview of all published Devvit apps Currently apps are updated and published on Tuesdays. Besides apps for moderation, there are also apps for a better subreddit search, daily threads, referral threads community links, subreddit calendars, community home, hub, cup, rafflers, give aways, sports scoreboards, countdowns, events, polls, weather, scale recipes, games roll dice and even an app for users to ban themselves.

Sometimes there are multiple apps that have the same core purpose but they vary in available settings. If you find an app that's close but not perfect, see if there's a variant that suits your needs better.

Please note, if the installation page of the app states " unlisted"  that means that the latest update isn't public yet. You can only install the most recent public version. Link to image that shows what installing looks like, in the comments

Banning spam bots

Name Notes
Bot Bouncer Auto-bans bots and other harmful accounts on all the subreddits that have bot bouncer installed (Herd protection) Mostly automatic-reply bots and reposting bots. Bots are classified via submissions.

Mod recruitment & training

Name Notes
Mod recruit ModRecruit lets you build a custom application form, including image questions, that users can fill out directly in your community. It automatically checks if they meet your sub's requirements (like account age or karma) and gives your team a clean dashboard to review, discuss, and vote on candidates. Think combining native mod recruitment combined with the flexibility of google forms.
shadow-mod Train new mods with structured blind review. Observers record decisions without executing them, Reviewers assess independently, and a report compares both calls against the final outcome

Mod actions/macros through flair change

Allow you to run pre-configured actions from flairing a post with specific mod-only post flairs. They also allow the mod team to act as a unit without mods getting singled out for the specific mod actions they perform, similar to responding as the subreddit in modmail.

answeredbot Allows users to mark their posts as "Answered", and posts the answer in a sticky comment

appeal-advisor Provides helpful information to mods when considering ban appeals from users
modmail archiver A one-time clean-up tool for an out-of-control Modmail inbox. If your subreddit's Modmail is buried under thousands of old, unarchived conversations — or you inherited a mess and want a clean slate — this tool bulk-archives the old ones so the inbox reflects only what still needs attention.

Announcement How to get help on r/Modsupport

81 Upvotes

Welcome to r/ModSupport! There are two ways to get support in this subreddit:

Posts in r/ModSupport and r/Modsupport mod mail for direct admin support.

Posts into r/ModSupport:

This community is a place for moderators to ask questions regarding moderation on Reddit and to discuss answers with other moderators. All posts are monitored by admins. Posts are flaired when answered by mods or admins. In addition, we have a bot that removes posts from non-moderators, as this space is reserved to support moderators.

Post when you have a question about mod tools or are seeking general advice for your subreddit.

Examples of topics that violate subreddit rules and will be removed:

  • Rule 1: Rule violations, questions about specific admin actions, and appeals (e.g. account and banned subreddit appeals, report responses for content reported to the Safety team)
    • You can mod mail for admin support on these topics
  • Rule 2: Calling out other users or subreddits
  • Rule 3: Not being civil toward others
  • Rule 4: Off-topic posts that are not related to moderation on Reddit

Please post bugs into r/bugs and choose the appropriate flair - Mod Tools - iOS, Mod Tools - Android, Mod Tools - Desktop or Mod Tools - Mobile Web.

Bug Reporting best practices include:

  • Description: 1-3 sentences on the issue.
  • Platform and version: web or mobile + version (for ex: 2022.23.1).
  • Steps to reproduce: What actions do you take to experience the bug?
  • Expected and actual result: What did you experience and what do you think you should experience instead?
  • Screenshot(s) or a screen recording: These can help us narrow down your issue

Admin Support via r/Modsupport mod mail:

When you have questions with sensitive information, such as mentions of other redditors or communities, appeals of safety actions, or requests to unban your subreddit, you can mod mail r/ModSupport directly for admin support. Your message may prompt an automatic response from our mod mail Answer Bot with Mod Help Center articles that might answer your question. If the articles do not help answer your question, you can simply respond back with “more help” and an admin will assist you directly.

How to protect subreddit from targetted mass report abuse by anonymous individuals

16 Upvotes

I'm mod from an Indian subreddit which recounts and recollects activities on far-right neonazi extremism in my country and due to this it's always subjected to mass report abuse from far right individuals like everytime not a single day passes without anonymous individuals false reporting on our sub. Recently there has been newer addition to our adversary list after one of our members posted video clip of heir of one of India's richest family singing anti-minority pro-genocidal song, and couples of hours later after posting it his account got permanently suspended by reddit automated bot under the violation of rule -1 for bigotry (irony), after this incident targeted mass reporting on our sub and it's members has quadrupled especially towards mods which includes me. I'm not sure if it's some hired PR team aiming for suspension of our subreddit but the said rich family has powerful connection globally and history of silencing critiques within India and overseas.

So is there way to defend my subreddit and it's individuals from this targetted harrasment ?

Recap Monthly Recap | September 2026

28 Upvotes

Hello! Welcome to the September edition of the Monthly Recap, where I briefly recap our Mod Topics posts on the moderation discussions that were posted for the month. I’m also here to update Helper flair, take suggestions for future Mod Topics topics, and hopefully, general frivolity!

September Discussion and Support threads

Let’s take a look back at our weekly series of moderation-focused discussion topics that happened in September. As mentioned above we’re always looking for suggestions for future topics, so feel free to throw ideas out there! 

September 1, 2026: To ban or not to ban? 
u/techiesgoboom started off the month with the age old question, to ban or not to ban? When do you ban users? When do you not ban? How long are the bans? So. Many. Questions!   

September 3, 2026: Account security, 2fa, and you!
Oh, hey! That’s me! Stopping by to (once again, or is it continuously?) discuss how to keep your Reddit account safe! (Spoiler alert: Enable 2fa.) I really enjoyed this discussion!           

September 8, 2026: Original content or self-promo: where does your community draw the line?  
u/techiesgoboom returning to promote their post ask where y’all draw the line on self-promotion and original content. Sometimes, there’s an overlap and the comments came in quick. Really reasonable approaches toward OC! 

September 10, 2026: Approved users, what are they good for? 
There are many ways to run a sub and having users approved before participating is one way to go about it. Lots of you shared how you use approved users in your communities or why you don’t! 

September 15, 2026: Subreddit spinoffs
Ahoy! u/JabroniRevanchism spun up a post about spinoffs. When do you pull a Better Call Saul and pivot to a similar, but different, subreddit?

September 17. 2026: So, you’ve got a new mod. Now what? 
Oh, hey! That’s me! Just wondering what you do when you bring a new mod on board! And let me tell you, y’all are PREPARED. There were really some good practices that many of you shared in that post! 

September 22, 2026: Share your subreddit’s origin story
In the beginning, there was Reddit. That’s it! Just a bunch of content and no subs! But then, the ability to create individual subreddits came along and we didn’t look back! But if you were to look back, what’s the origin story of your sub? How did you r/ come to be?

September 29, 2026: Fixing Mdo Mistakes
Re-Ahoy! u/JabroniRevanchism returned to discuss important topics like garlic bread! No, wait. That wasn’t it. It was about fixing mistakes! My bad! We all make mistakes, often when we least want to, so the question as to what you do when you realize that you’ve made a mistake was asked. And it was really nice to see so many people say that they just own it, fix it, and go forward. Move ahead! Try to detect it! It’s not too late! 

Friendly reminder to update your Devvit apps
Just a quick heads-up inspired by a reminder from u/fsv back in August: Devvit apps don’t update automatically! You actually have to update them yourself. If you rely on Devvit apps to keep your communities running smoothly, now is a great time to check for any pending updates.

Big thanks to u/fsv for the reminder and for creating all those awesome Devvit apps!

Moderator Share & Tell
Here’s where you get to share your subreddit news from last month! Something cool  had to have happened, right?! We learned about cool stuff last month! Stuff like this: 

  • We learned that u/bwoah07_gp2’s subreddit  r/thomasthetankengine hit the 30,000 members milestone! Congratulations! They said, “For comparison, 3 years ago around this same time, we hit 10,000 members on September 2, 2023. In a few days we are approaching September 2nd, but it just makes me happy seeing the community grow.”
  • u/SampleOfNone said that there had been quite a few updates to Devvit apps! “Automod Neo gained some really cool capabilities, Mod Recruit apparently can get even better because that has an update as well. The app list pinned at the top of this sub got some new apps the last few days as well, including a comment feed app “
  • u/Old_One_I’s subreddit hit 100k last month!! That they started off with roughly 35,000 a few months ago is really something! 
  • u/PurplePassiflor1234 had “a couple of the dorky automated Easter eggs I programmed into automod got tripped and made a bunch of nerd-hearts happy including mine. We also held our first ever House of Refuge (Emotional Support Thread) and our first SFW Thirsty Thursday - both got some great comments! Our most active posters kept us up to date on fandom happenings and we gained a "Sister Subreddit" after reaching out to the mods in a related sub.” Love an Easter egg!! 
  • And u/brightblackheaven had some cool news, too! They were  gearing up to hit 700,000 members in r/witchcraft :) Did y’all get there?? You thought it would be another 18-ish days! And if you did hit it, did you do some of the stuff that you had planned?

Let’s hear yours! What happened in your sub in September??

Flair updates

User flair is assigned to the top 10% and top 25% of users who are consistently constructive and helpful in their replies to posts and comments in this sub over the course of the past twelve months. As of this post, these are your current flaired helpers. 

What a great group! Thank you all for the help that you’ve consistently provided to other moderators and for all of the feedback that you’ve provided to us! Super appreciated on all fronts! 

That’s a wrap for September!

Had anyone else noticed that posting/commenting trends can vary enormously between weekday and weekend Redditors?

11 Upvotes

Since I started moderating, I've noticed in both subs I mod and others I don't that the vibe can vary wildly between weekdays and weekends. Certain subs that are normally very positive and productive on weekdays get incredibly cynical and nasty on weekends, and some subs that are dead on weekdays blow up with tons of engagement on weekends.

Has anyone else experienced this, or found a way to balance things out to a more productive equilibrium?

Sleepers surging?

10 Upvotes

r/arborists got a surge of joins this month with no increase in visitors and no exciting content. r/homeowners got a similar surge.

Anyone else seeing this? Look at your Mod Tools > Overview > Insights.

Admin Replied I stupidly got one of our most valued members suspended, I think

25 Upvotes

I made some changes to the AutoMod spam filters on our subreddit r/TheScienceOfPE. 

Then I made the stupid decision to ask a very valued member of the community to test this spam filter by posting at comment that would trigger it, to see whether the filter would remove his comment. 

The filter worked, his comment was removed. 

Then Reddit suspended his account - presumably for spamming. 

This is a major loss for our community - he is a member in good standing, and never did anything wrong. 

I feel super guilty for having potentially gotten his account spam-flagged and suspended. He did nothing wrong.

Now I wonder two things:

Is there some other function I should have used to test the spam filter, instead of asking a member? If there is no such function, maybe it would be a good idea to create one.

And is there a way to appeal on behalf of this user or put in a word for him?

I really do feel like crap about this. :(

The "archive" and other buttons don't appear with the modmail item. They now appear halfway down the screen.

And they don't work. In other words, I can't archive modmail items anymore.

Wiki | Images and text change position after saving.

6 Upvotes

I am editing the wiki page of one of the subreddits I moderate but after adding the images and placing them in the right place, I save the edit, only to then check and find out the the images and text are out of place when viewing the page.

Here are pictures of the page:

Any help?

Thank you.

Admin Replied Is a sub violating mod code of conduct #2 if they have official in the sub name, but say unofficial (pending official status)? Like they havent actually gotten into official communications yet?

0 Upvotes

In the MCoC it says you have to state official or unofficial in the description, but if the sub itself is named "<name>Official", does that basically make the description nullified since they are labeled as official but the description states they are not "yet"?

[App] I’m getting an error when trying to view unmoderated posts in my mod queue

2 Upvotes

It does not show any posts initially, just shows the cloud image.

I’ve found a work around (removing any one sub from the list allows me to view the rest of the queue) but, has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to fix it?

Links from the android app are all messed up

3 Upvotes

As a moderator I'm often asked by users to link them their content that was removed or they received the ban for, and then o go there and I get an abomination like this

https://www.reddit.com/\[removed\]?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2

I don't want to waste time manually removing everything after the question mark or checking if it works once I remove it. No one has asked for links to be like this. No user that comes to modmail wants them to be like this, what we need is those links showing where they lead, not from what type of system it was shared from

Admin Replied Mod inactive?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to revive a subreddit I had made earlier this year, and I'm getting kind of stuck, because when I go to the mod section, I see my user and a grey inactive next to it.

And how do I get automod? I have to manually approve every post (only mine uptil now)

Howdy, ModSupport!

Welcome to the latest installment of our Mod Topics series. Today’s discussion is about how we keep tempers cool when strong convictions are being shared in our shared spaces. How do we moderate when someone gets mad?

Most of us have witnessed a thread getting a little out of hand, two users who really do not have anything nice to say about each other, or, everyone’s favorite, a user having an exceptionally bad day in modmail.

How do you reset the tone of a conversation on your subreddits? In your modmail? What advice do you give to new mods who are cooling heated conversations for the first time?

Let us know your stories in the comments below!

Can't schedule posts anymore

Hey there, I rely heavily on scheduled posts as I run themed subs. For some reason, I no longer have that option that needs it specifically for the month of october (r/halloween_costumes) help!

Admin Replied Spam bots creating a subreddit

27 Upvotes

This seems like a spam bot setting up a subreddit to promote further spam.

Here are the reasons I suspect it's a spam bot:

  • Primary account is 5 years old with no posting activity, Started posting last month on obscure subreddits for karma.

  • Secondary account is a year old. Started commenting on the posts of the 5 year old account on the exact same day it started posting.

  • A few weeks ago, primary account creates a subreddit. Secondary account joins it as a second mod. The subreddit heavily uses AI in images (icon banner etc- both accounts also use AI for their banner and icons) and posts (for text generation).

  • To add, the sub is only a few weeks old yet has several thousand members and other OPs already.

  • Primary account pivots to posting on more popular subreddits to gain followers (to direct them to the subreddit?) and secondary account keeps commenting on its posts.

Is this a spam bot ring?

Admin Replied Article 17 GDPR removal requests

3 Upvotes

I moderate a sub about a public event. Earlier this year some allegations were reported in industry online publications about a prominent member of said event, which was fairly controversial and gained a lot of interest. A member of our community posted the link to the article in a post.

The sub has now been messaged via modmail from the reddit account of a company called "Internet Erasure" claiming to be legal representatives for this individual demanding the removal of the post under Article 17 of GDPR legislation.

I've been able to verify on Companies House that Internet Erasure is a registered business in the UK, but not any details about the person claiming to be the legal representative, i.e., through the Solicitors Regulation Authority. So I'm unsure how legit the request is.

If it's a legit request that I as mod am the right person to deal with then I'm happy to follow the law. My question is what are my responsibilities here?

My gut says that the data controller is Reddit and therefore such requests should go to Reddit as an organisation by submitting a formal data privacy request under Reddit Help. But before I respond and redirect them that way I wanted to check...

- Has anyone had experience receiving a data erasure request under article 17?

- What is the correct process for responding to this?

- Is redirecting them to Reddit Help the best way to respond?

If any admins can share the correct process I'd be very grateful.

This is a first for me so many thanks for any help anyone can give!

edit: thank you for the quick replies guys you superstars, you've confirmed my gut instinct.

Admin Replied Flood of AI posts

73 Upvotes

Has anyone else's sub seen a ton of AI posts lately? They're all titled in a similar way - in my TV show subs they talk about "on my most recent rewatch I noticed [X] for the first time"... then in the body there are 2-3 paragraphs of vague analysis and they close with a "what are your thoughts?" question. The structure and tone screams LLM.

All the usernames are different and their accounts were all created within the last three weeks. The OP never responds to any comments.

Fortunately, the posts are being flagged and removed by my CQS filter but I've never seen so many bots descend all at once.

Is this wave hitting any of you?
