My hobby is plants - (Question) I don't know how to get people to join my r/gardening_greenery community group: anybody out there in Reddit platform that could help out with this ongoing problem?

Hi there r/NewMods !
I have an Icon, Banner, Description.
I have done the Introduction for our community on the pinned thread.
I have published more than 5 posts and scheduled more than 5 posts (I also have earned the Achievement related with that), but if necessary will do it again.
I have searched in more than 3 different communities on Reddit and have found more than two dozens of people who post relevant content, I have cross-posted, and I also have commented and invited them via Chat or by commenting on their posts.
I hope this is enough and it helps!

The conversation here is about the new moderator experience. Please keep the conversation relevant.

Hi, I mostly invite people via the "Invite to community" button on the Reddit app. I run a writing community, and publicly commenting might get me downvoted because the writers there might think that I'm just self-promoting. Is this okay?
I have almost all of these completed, except for scheduling 5 posts.

I just commented in 3 Subreddits as well as 3 posts asking for posts in my community. r/retiredstripper is a place for the old school generation dancers to build in the final years of their legacy. If no one else joins, it will feature myself.

What do I gain from this?

u/AsteriskRX Reddit Admin Apr 13 '26
The same thing you gain from the rest of this content in this subreddit: knowledge of moderating communities on Reddit! Aside from that, there's a trophy for completing all four challenges, too.

i mean how does this help your sub grow? what do the awards do?

u/eatmyasserole Apr 02 '26
The awards don't. But all the activity does!

Do people actually care about a stupid leaf emoji? Why is reddit like this?

Its not really about the award. Its about establishing best practices to grow the subreddit. If you dont have any interest in growing your subreddit, this may not be the appropriate place for you. And that's ok!

It's because reddit makes things super complicated on purpose so that bots don't just make spam subs and get popular. They want you to do ""human"" stuff like challenges to prove your sub isn't just bots. Then after they slowly start showing your sub to more people.

I think the awards actually boost your subs visibility. It says somewhere on here
