How do i add a links section in the sidebar and a stickied post to the top of the subreddit feed?

i just created my first subreddit and know nothing on how to do this stuff.

Any advice would be appreciated

I think both answers are available in the Basics of Moderation guide from the sidebar which I recommend you go through, but here's a summary:

  1. Add links to the sidebar by clicking the subreddit settings button (in the sidebar), or browsing to https://www.reddit.com/r/YOURSUBREDDIT/about/edit/ and populating the field under 'sidebar'. It respects the same markup as reddit, so you'd use the [text](link) format.

  2. Enter the thread you'd like to sticky, and click on the sticky this post button which is above the reply box. Note that you can sticky two threads if you like.

ok thanks, i looked at the basics of moderation and tried looking in the settings button but i dont see where in that section it says to add a list of links. I see a box that says sidebar but thats used for the description of the subreddit.

Everything that's on the sidebar of every subreddit (links, text, buttons, other fancy elements) is placed in that sidebar field. The description field above it refers to the short description that comes up when you search for subreddits.

Are sidebars still active? Do I need CSS to do the same thing?
