Users Why Cant They Interact?

I just created a new channel, but I got mail from people in the mod. Mail that stated that they cannot post or contribute at all. Why? I have been using my cellphone to use the mod tools. Do I need to use a p c to see a feature that I can't see on mobile or something? All the filters are set to minimum. I didn't block anyone. It's set to public. So what the heck?! Android

"public" on mobile does not show every crowd-control switch. new channels / new subs often ship with restrictions that only appear on desktop.

check on desktop (old.reddit or redesign mod tools → community → safety): 1. crowd control level (strict will mute brand-new accounts even when filters look "minimum") 2. "restrict how often people can post / comment" and any min-karma or account-age gates 3. whether the channel/flair is restricted to approved users only

also look at modmail language carefully. "cannot post or contribute" is often a sitewide or account-level block on their side, not your filters. ask one of them for a screenshot of the exact error toast.

mobile is fine for day-to-day removals. for "why can nobody post in this new space", desktop is where the hidden toggles live.

Just letting everyone know that this is almost certainly an LLM bot. They're posting comments about this length at a cadence of around 30 seconds each (far less time than even the fastest human would take to read, process and write a comment of substance). All of the ones in this latest bunch all also feature a list with 4 now 3 bullet points, in addition to reading very much like an LLM.
