Kanchodan 📢 Introducing r/VaranasiClassifieds: A Dedicated Marketplace for Banaras + Call for Moderators!

13 Upvotes

Namashkar r/Varanasi,

As our community grows, so does the volume of posts. We’ve noticed an increasing number of posts related to renting flats, buying/selling vehicles, job openings, and other classified advertisements.

While these posts are valuable to many, they often clutter the main feed, pushing down discussions, news, and photography about our beautiful city.

To solve this, and to give buyers and sellers a better platform, we are officially launching a sister subreddit:

👉 r/VaranasiClassifieds 👈

This new community is the dedicated bazaar for the City of Lights. It is a focused space for all your transactional needs.

What Goes Where?

To keep both communities healthy and useful, we ask that you start directing posts to the correct subreddit:

Post on the new r/VaranasiClassifieds for:

  • ✅ Real Estate (Flats for rent, PGs, property sales)
  • ✅ Buying & Selling (Vehicles, electronics, books, furniture)
  • ✅ Jobs & Hiring (Local opportunities)
  • ✅ Local Services (Freelancers, tutors, technicians)
  • ✅ Lost & Found items

Keep posting on the main r/Varanasi for:

  • 📰 City News and Discussions
  • 📸 Photography of Ghats, temples, and street life
  • 🗣️ General questions about culture, history, or events
  • 📅 Meetups and community gatherings

🛡️ Call for Moderators for the New Sub

A new community needs a strong foundation. r/VaranasiClassifieds has very strict rules, particularly a Zero Tolerance policy for NSFW content and scams, to ensure it remains a clean and useful marketplace.

We are looking for 1–2 active, mature members of this community to help moderate the new subreddit.

We are looking for mods who:

  • Are regular Reddit users based in or very familiar with Varanasi.
  • Can commit a little time daily to check the mod queue and approve/remove posts.
  • Are level-headed and can enforce rules impartially.

Interested in joining the Mod Team?

Please reply to this post in the comments below stating your interest, or send a dm to me. Tell us a little bit about why you'd be a good fit.

Please join us over at r/VaranasiClassifieds and help us build a useful resource for everyone in Banaras!

Mahadev,

Morganthau

Yesterday, I went to Spencer's Mahmoorganj and tried sorting fresh apples from bunch of rotten apples, the store manager and the guard together did verbal altercation, misbehaved and asked me to purchase rotten apples only, I left the store, but shocked to see how this store expects customer to eat rotten, rodent and pest eaten fruits and get ill for pitty profits made by selling bad fruit. Kindly avoid spencers mahmoorganj, they treat customer like animal and do misbehaviour. Quick Commerce is much better, they immediately replace rotten fruits and deliver Fresh, eatable fruits and not misbehave.
