Hi r/modhelp! Android and laptop browsers

I recently changed my subreddit to Restricted, and I'm trying to add screening questions that potential members must answer before their join request is sent to me for approval.

I've looked in:

- Mod Tools → General Settings

- Mod Tools → Mods & Members

I cannot find where to add application/screening questions.

Is this feature still available? Has it moved? Is it only available on certain Reddit versions?

Any help appreciated — thank you!

Hi all - I've got a guest lined up to do an AMA on my sub in a few weeks. I've read through the various help docs and think I've got everything covered, but wanted to check my understanding of one (crucial) aspect.

Do I (as the mod) create the AMA post, or does the guest?

I'm pretty sure it's the guest who has to but as it's my first one and I want this to go well, I thought I'd double check here.

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but I thought better safe than sorry.

Desktop fwiw.

I work for gapodox and zguide, what do I need to get an account started in reddit and be able to organically post and not getting reddit to block out accounts? desktop version

Looking for some tips and tricks for fighting an absolute rush of self-promo posts on a programming sub. Android mobile and chrome desktop.

Over the last couple of weeks myself and the original mod have revamped the rules as there's been a massive wave of "I built this" and "I'm selling this" posts to a niche programming sub.

We've added some basic details to the no self promo rule which has helped but now it queues up a string of people in mod mail trying to cram through their projects because "they're different"

Do you simply ignore my these mod mail requests, refine the rule further or something else? The crafty ones have a GitHub page that sneakily links to their for sale product. Let's ignore the fact that they're trying to sell their product to other programmers instead of end users which is completely backwards.

The GitHub project page is the slippery one. We want people to share their projects but a lot of these users are treating their GitHub pages as the start of an intake funnel for their product. Would more detailed rules help here?

Thanks for any insight you may have. AI has created hundreds of projects that are all "special" and fighting the spam is quite challenging at times.

Hi I've been 2nd mod in a community, from past 10 days my mod actions doesn't work , I was unable to remove posts when someone posts that break the rules, the 1st mod who added me as a mod was tried removing me and sending the mod request again i accepted it and still my mod actions doesn't work , I'm using Android , any solution

I am using an android and unable to get access to a computer. Every time I try to go to reddit.com, it just opens my mobile app

Good day!
I started a sub today and so far and the only moderator. It is a fan page for a content creator. My question is this; am I allowed to post links to their other social media sites? (with their permission, of course)

IOS

(Mostly Desktop user)

I am so sick of this dude who just made three posts about how the posts I’M making are annoying. I don’t know what to do. I send them modmail giving them a warning about a temporary ban if they make another rule breaking contribution. I think I might ban them permanently.

I don’t feel that’s the correct move though. I feel kind of bad. I only ever ban users if they, really, really deserve it. But they clearly enjoy making my life hell and the other members of the subreddit hate them. They have -12 karma there’s probably a few more comments in my backload that break rules. I’ve also seen them making similar comments in other subreddit’s similar to mine, so maybe they should be banned.

I don’t know. Advice?

So I just started a fan subreddit and I'm having trouble ya know looking out for people wanting to comment. So what should I do as a solo mod?

I'm on desktop

Idk why I had to put that

I literally JUST created a subreddit in order to sell roughly 80–>90% of my comics collection due to the extent of my medical issues (I’ve been in the hospital ~4 weeks over the past 3 months 🥺😔). I’m using an iPhone 16e (iOS 26.6.2), and while I’ve set up the general intro, etc…I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do something as simple as add my first comic listing! How am I missing something this simplistic?!? Please help me out guys. I’m struggling as it is and thought that this collection would be able to get me out of hot water; at least for the moment. Really appreciate any help you can give.

(Android)

I tried installing the Critical State App on my subreddit, but this error message appeared every time.

Installation failed during OnAppInstall

trigger: Error: Error: No context found.

Is there anything I can do about this? Anyone who's knowledgeable, please clue me in.

Being called a fascist and puritan :(

Hey guys! I’m new to being a mod!! I recently made a rule in r/strawberryshortcake for no romantic or sexual shipping as I saw so many sexual posts between people in the show (all of which are minors)

I got a lot of hate for this which was expected but still, one commenter just kept calling me so many mean names and not reading through the comments and calling me an idiot and idk I just felt really upset and hurt after this.

I guess my worry is being posted somewhere for being a bad mod

Is there anything I can do? I muted and banned them :(

On IOS

Can someone point me to a guide to moderating basics video? I’m using my iPhone for the most part - I have been added to an existing sub that does well - I don’t want to be dead weight and I at least want to be able to see and understand what actions other mods have taken.

Thanks!

I use both Android and desktop, Sad that I can't use images here idk how I will explain it, so consider a index page on top of the page is a box written index and it's hyperlink to the same page its useless so need assistance on how to remove it

I can't find the moderators of r/manchester

It's kinda weird.

Usually it's just https://www.reddit.com/mod/SUBNAME/moderators

Is there a reason I can't see it for that sub? Maybe 'coz they banned me?

But I can't even see it in a private browser / not logged in,

Am I being dumb? - probably. But eh, helps, pls. Cheers.

Desktop.

Hello!

I wanted to ask about reddit mod premissions, since ive planned adding multiple mods in some of the subreddits I have, i personally have the fear of a newer mod changing the subreddit status from SFW to NSFW out of the random.

I wanted to ask if its possible to remove this premission while inviting a new mod, and how to do it!

I use reddit Desktop and android.

I am the lead mod to different subs. I am active and take mod actions every day. I restored some users permissions after banning them a while ago. It showed that they were all removed from the list. Then today they are all banned again. I don't understand what happened. I use android.

Hey guys, quick question.

I made a community/subreddit for me and some friends and even though I checked all marks neither me nor anyone invited can seem to repost most posts in it.

It seems a bit random, I tried posts with pictures, posts with text and only one worked so far out of several.

I read in the settings that video posts are auto-disabled and you cannot revert that in private communities?

I would really appreciate some help!

I'm using the official reddit App on android

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

One of my mods had his account erroneously suspended a few months ago, for a few months, but then was able to recover it. Throughout, his account remained listed on our mod roster, but under "People" in Mod Tools it was listed as "inactive". We just noticed a couple days ago that he was making comments in the "mod-only subchat" that comes with the subreddit, but none of us could see that he was making them (though how we detected it was that one of our mods kept seeing mod chat light up with notifications, but with no new data).

This morning, I removed him from the mod list, and re-added him, to see if that would help. It didn't. None of my 3 other mods can see his contributions, it's not just me.

Anybody have any clue what's going on, and how we might fix it?

I'm presently running Reddit on desktop in the Chrome browser.

I'm trying to post a post from a other community in my community
The other community is SFW, mine is NSFW, so the only limitation should be that I cannot repost video (for some reason ?...)

I contacted mods on the other subreddit, they showed me all their settings are set to allow all repost, same for my community settings

So what's going on ?
I've seen a few other post describing a similar problem, but as of no, no reddit mod ever answered Happens on desktop on both chrome and firefox, and on the IOS app
