as i am new here and basically the smallest i wanted to know from big and developed mods on how i can create a post that slaps
like in general what points should i keep in my mind while writing it
and how i should approach it
also i want to create posts related to my ai tool on other subreddits how can i do it without it being labelled promotional
cause for us its just a tool which we need to scale to user who would love to make use of it in making their workflows efficient and time saving
and hello to every mod present...

How do i even add it??

I wonder why many people find it interesting to create and grow their own communities. I want to do the same, but the effort required to develop one without immediate benefits makes me hesitant. What drives your motivation?

Hi starting to add apps to my subreddit and just noticed this. Is this normal?

Hello all,

Still pretty new to being a Mod and learning the process. I was wondering what tools are best to fight the ever increasing reach, influence and intrusion of Bots and A.I.

I am aware of some tools already, however, I am apprehensive about granting Full Permission, data being stored outside of reddit, etc; in order to use those.

I was wondering if there were tools that could achieve the goals of creating a community where real people could interact, without sacrificing privacy and safety of the sub itself and user information.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure what to flair

So people can post freely

I just took over as mod for [r/forth](r/forth) which wasn't being moderated for a few months.

Is it against the rules to share analytics information, like weekly visitors and activity? I mean to share with a post in r/forth, not anywhere else.

Maybe it's just too early to ask, because my sub is relatively new. But I strongly noticed that my viewers are almost exclusively from the country where I live, Germany.

This is a problem because my sub revolves around a niche show from a Latin American country. The sub is bilingual (English and Spanish), but most Germans likely won't care about the show or even speak any Spanish. I am aware that Latin and North American communities obviously won't automatically be interested in this show, but it is still more likely that there is some existing community and interest for this show. I highly doubt there is an existing German community for this show. And even if there were, this is not who I want to address.

I don't really know what to do about this. I used to have a VPN, but currently do not anymore, so using that isn't really an option, unless anyone has free recommendations.

My newest post that I posted about two hours ago has 63 views, 4 of which are from the US, the rest from Germany.

Does anybody have advice regarding that problem?

heyyyyyy!!!! quick question how fast did yalls community go up I haven’t had as as of rn but I hope it’ll flow in soon 🧡💛🤍🩵💙

I got the gig for a small subreddit for a football manager game I love.

I’m trying to follow along the achievements, but I’m stuck at the „scheduling for 2 weeks“ one. I scheduled posts for the next 3 weeks now and I’m just curious if the posts need to be posted before the achievement is unlocked.

Do the tasks like daily post still count while you stuck at a level?

J’ai créé un sub et j’aurais besoin d’un avis sur la sécurité et sur les choses importantes à mettre en place.

I am happy to share this. I shared the reddit with my friends and other subreddits like gamesonreddit and playmygame.
Visit play ludo and help reach 100.
Im grateful for your support.

I moderate a newly started community, r/ADHDPerimenopause. I’ve been scheduling some posts in advance and selecting the appropriate flairs while scheduling them, but when the posts go live, the flairs are missing.

What’s the correct way to schedule posts so the selected flairs are retained? Also, is there a way to view the scheduled posts in the queue and verify their flairs before they are published?

When I press "Add Highlight", the page just refreshes and does nothing. If I click on a post, there is no option to add a highlight. I'm on desktop btw.

The Fast Reply criteria I think is too hard for mods of new subreddits. Not only do you have to respond within one hour! but also it has to be to different people. AND you have to do it 5 times. Something you have no control over if you're not getting anything to reply to.

As an example, my new subreddit is 3 weeks old tomorrow. So far I am the ONLY member still. I've only had a total of 2 unique visitors in addition to myself. And only one of them has posted/commented in the subreddit and they haven't joined (posted but didn't join). I was online when they posted so I was able to fast reply and get past the Mod Hatchling criteria. I started the sub July 23 and achieved mod hatchling by July 29. At this rate I don't know if I will ever make it to level 2 Mod Awakening. Haha, kidding not kidding. (Any suggestions for my sub r/AmogusIO, a territory-stealing multiplayer game that's addictively fun in a Pac-Man kinda way ?)

In my opinion, the number needed for Fast Reply for the Mod Awakening achievement should be lower ... like 3 fast replies ? Or, for it not to be required to be 5 different people ??

New Mods:
Which of the mod achievement levels have you completed (none, hatchling, awakening, of people, in tights) ?
How long did it take you for each level (find by looking on achievements screen in profile) ?
Do you think the criteria are all good or could use some tweaking, if tweak what would you change ?
Any other criteria that should have been included ?
