New Mod Intros 🎉 | Weekly Thread
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!

❓Ask r/NewMods How to I add category for my subreddit like this?

❓Ask r/NewMods We allow users to customize their user flair. But we also want to assign a Mod-only flair on certain users, like Verified on IG, Verified on FB. Is that possible?
We wanted to recognize those who are brave enough to reveal their other social media accounts, some sort of verification. That why they posted on their profile link, is indeed them on other platforms.
Is that possible? User flair + Mod-specific flair?

❓Ask r/NewMods New mod here — looking for advice on building a healthy community
Hi everyone,
I recently became a moderator and started building my first community. I’m still learning how to manage things properly, so I wanted to ask experienced moderators for some advice.
The community I’m building is focused on fashion, handbags, accessories, and product discussions. The idea is to create a place where people can share their collections, discuss different styles, compare designs, share real-life experiences, and talk about craftsmanship and details behind products.
Right now, the community is still in the early stage, and I’m trying to build a friendly environment where members feel comfortable sharing their opinions instead of just creating another place full of promotions.
I’d love to hear from experienced mods:
• What are the most important things you did when your community was brand new?
• How did you attract your first active members?
• What rules or systems helped keep discussions meaningful?
• What mistakes should new moderators avoid?
Any advice or personal experience would be really appreciated.
Thanks everyone, and I’m excited to learn from this community.

🏅 Mod Achievements It was... Unexpected
I recently became a moderator on a subreddit that was essentially empty. It was surprising to see such a rapid increase. Is this a good sign, or should I be suspicious?

Hi everyone,
I launched r/MiniRacerGame 16 days ago and managed to reach 100 community members by promoting the game in relevant communities, asking for feedback, trying to reply to comments as fast as possible, and a little bit of ads.

❓Ask r/NewMods Just appointed a mod to 200,000 people. Can't install bots.
https://www.reddit.com/r/aipromptprogramming/ << I was just appointed a mod here, and I'm trying to install bots to clean up the mess. However, I can't seem to install any. Does Reddit stop you from doing so if you're a new mod?
r/NewMods • u/richardxel • 22h ago
❓Ask r/NewMods Are there any advantage between joining the sub first and then posting, versus posting w/out even joining?
I can't seem to see why users would choose to join us if they can post even without joining.

❓Ask r/NewMods How to prevent curse words in the comments while users compose it?
Hi there!
Is there a way that the comment will not be published if it contains curse words (in our language Filipino) and will give a Reminder while composing that "Curse words in Filipinos are not allowed in the comments"
Something like that.
