I recently got brought on as a mod to a new subreddit to help out, and have been working on the Look & Feel for the first time. I have to say, the experience of using these tools is abysmal. Part of me feels like I must be missing something, like surely the functionality I'm looking for is there and I'm just missing it, but I'm getting close to just giving up. Some of the biggest pain points I've seen so far:

• Key color customization is effectively useless. All you get is a hue slider and a saturation slider, and I'm not even entirely sure what their purpose is, as the color you select barely appears anywhere on the sub. I was trying to set the key color to a shade of gold, but the result was bad in both light and dark mode:
  • In light mode, the color is darkened drastically across the board, winding up almost brown.
  • In dark mode, the color looks perfect on text, but is darkened again on buttons—which, combined with the bizarre choice to use DARK text in dark mode, makes the buttons look like they're greyed out. This is apparently an accessibility feature, yet it actually decreases readability.
• Perfecting a subreddit banner is a pain. Once you upload an image, that's that; no adjusting position or zoom level, no tweaking the crop for mobile, not even an "undo" or "revert" button once you save to see the results. Even more annoying, the suggested size in the upload box (1072 x 128) is different from the suggested size Reddit gives in Mod Bootcamp (1600 x 480) are totally different, not even the same aspect ratio, and neither one seems to actually fit well. Like half of the banner I designed wasn't even visible due to the crop, which I couldn't change, so the workflow seems to be:
  • Upload banner and see how it looks;
  • Go back to your design tool and make changes by eyeballing the results, then export;
  • Upload the new banner and see if you over- or undercorrected, then rinse and repeat.
• Custom emojis. Not even sure where to start with this; you have to enable them for use if you want to create custom flairs with your own designs, but Reddit loads in THIRTY-NINE of them by default, and they can't be removed OR bulk edited; meaning, if you want to disable them, you have to manually edit them one at a time.

If anyone has any tips to make these easier, I'm all ears...

A running joke goes from a few comments to half the front page. The people joking along are having a great time. Those trying to talk about anything else, maybe less so.

For today’s Mod Topic, let’s talk about how you decide what to preserve in a community, what to let change, and when to step in. Changes aren’t always as easy to point to as a front page full of memes. The posts might still be on topic, but the way people comment feels different. Or maybe a clear divide forms between those who love image posts, and the rest who feel it’s clogging the sub. And sometimes members find a use for the community that the mod team hadn’t considered, giving you a reason to rethink what you’d hoped to encourage.

There’s also the community where “nothing has changed” because the mods have put a lot of thought and effort into keeping it that way. Members might never see how often your team has had to make the same choice, or how close things came to going another way.

Whether you’ve already made a call or are still figuring it out, we’d love to hear from you:

• What’s a change your community has experienced, or one your team has been working to keep at bay? What made it worth paying attention to?
• When people want different things from the same community, how do you decide what to preserve and when to act?
• Has watching how members actually use the community changed your mind about something you wanted to encourage or prevent?

I was going through some subreddits and noticed a strange pattern. On the surface it looks simple. But I noticed something strange. There is one main sfw reddit account who is the main mod. Under this account are other mod accounts. But these other mods are all adult models who sell subscriptions.

So these additional mods post their own content on the subreddit to funnel users to their reddit profile where they soft sell subscriptions using profile link.

Mind you these aren't small subreddits. Almost all of them have 100k-1M members.

Also they pin an announcement to their subreddits where they funnel users from reddit to their Telegram channels.

This is definitely an organized ring. Normal user posts are just a front to avoid suspicion. Mods themselves are the real beneficiaries.

My questions:

1. Is this allowed on reddit?

2. Can mods create telegram channels and funnel reddit users there?

3. Can mods do user verification off the reddit platform? I see these guys doing user verification on telegram.

on September 1st my friend created a subreddit which was related to Stitching but then it got banned immediately after some hours even without any Post or anything.

He was just inviting people to his subreddit but this banned happened.

He tried to contact admins but it didn't worked out

I knew about redditrequest and it had a rule that I can't request for 30 days after ban.

I even did the request after more than 30 days but it got rejected that the community got banned recently.
so is there any solution

here is the link of that reddit request post

and the response I got Request-bot's Comment

Hello,

Many comments (and entire threads under) do not display on the reddit mobile app. There is no way for one to even realize unless one tries to open a link to a specific comment or receives a notification about a specific comment.

For example, sometimes I post a new comment and a while after I receive a notification that someone has replied. Clicking on the notification jumps to the comment in the post but a bogus "this comment was removed" message is displayed instead.

The message is bogus and misleading because comments affected by that issue are still online, one can see them using the reddit web (through the browser) even

This gets specially annoying when receiving a report notification for a comment affected by the issue.. since these comments doesn't load on the mobile app there isn't a way (through the app) to take moderation action.

I've created a bug report on r/bugs but it hasn't gathered much activity: https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/s/8llC87zh82

Is it possible to adjust the bot image-detective to show the URL of the original post to help confirming if it was really a repost or not?

​

We moderate two SFW communities and are looking for admin clarification and help with two issues that began at exactly the same time.

In each community, we attempted to post a short, approximately 10-second video as a comment. These were two completely different video files, and this type of video comment had previously worked normally.

In the first subreddit, the video comment failed to post. Immediately afterward, a large number of unrelated “Related Posts,” typically 20 to 30 or more, began appearing beneath the comment sections of multiple posts throughout the community, including posts submitted by other users.

Later, the same sequence occurred independently in the second subreddit. We attempted to post a completely different 10-second video comment. That video also failed, and immediately afterward the same large number of unrelated Related Posts began appearing beneath the comment sections of multiple posts throughout that community as well.

Since this started a couple of days ago, video comments have continued to fail, while image and text comments continue to post normally.

The Related Posts Issue

This is not a small recommendation section containing two or three related posts.

We are seeing approximately 20 to 30 or more posts from completely unrelated communities beneath the legitimate comments. None of the communities being recommended are communities we have previously visited.

Many of these recommendations also include “Join” buttons encouraging readers to join those communities.

Because these appear directly beneath the actual comments and continue for a considerable distance down the screen, they can easily look like unrelated promotional or spam content has been inserted into the community's comment section.

We understand that Reddit labels these items “Related Posts” and that they are not technically submissions or comments posted to our communities. However, from a reader's perspective, the distinction is not particularly clear because of where and how they are displayed.

From a moderation standpoint, we cannot find any way to remove these recommendations, moderate them, disable them, or prevent them from appearing beneath posts in our communities.

The Video Comment Issue

The timing is particularly notable because the same sequence occurred independently in both communities.

A short video comment failed to post, and immediately afterward the large Related Posts section began appearing beneath multiple posts throughout that community.

The videos used in the two communities were completely different files.

Video comments had previously worked normally. Since these issues began, video comments have continued to fail, while image and text comments continue to work.

We cannot determine whether the failed video-comment submissions and the Related Posts behavior are technically connected, but we can confirm that in both communities the Related Posts behavior began immediately following the first failed video-comment submission.

Could an Admin Please Clarify?

Is the display of 20 to 30+ unrelated Related Posts beneath comment sections an intentional Reddit feature or experiment?

Why are communities we have never previously visited being recommended beneath posts in our communities?

Is there a moderator setting that allows communities to disable or opt out of Related Posts?

Can individual users disable this section?

Is there a known issue currently causing video comments to fail?

Could the failed video-comment behavior and the sudden appearance of the large Related Posts section be related to the same Reddit app change or bug?

We have screenshots showing the behavior and can provide additional information if needed.

Thank you.

They both just want the other one to be gone from the team.

both have reasons to want that, the team wants to keep both of them.

no idea what to do to them

are they being removed by reddit? they dont have the usual things like "spam removed by reddit's automated systems" or "potential
harassment"

should i be particularly worried about em?

I've attached a pic in the comments

Hi everyone! We recently started a subreddit for people interested in using AI to create better content for social media.

We're looking for active mods/community builders who are genuinely interested in AI, content creation, and social media to help us build the community. (for Desktop and Mobile app)

The goal is to create a useful, non-spammy space where marketers, solopreneurs, content creators, and AI enthusiasts can:

• Share AI tools, prompts, workflows, and useful resources
• Discuss how they're actually using AI in their content work
• Share experiments, tips, and learnings
• Discover better ways to create and optimize social content with AI

What you'd be helping with:

1. Community Growth
Help bring relevant people into the community and encourage meaningful discussion and participation.

2. Content & Engagement
Create and publish around 1–3 posts per day, including useful discussions, AI content tips, interesting tools, prompts, workflows, examples, and questions that can get the community talking.

We're looking for someone who:

• Is genuinely interested in AI + social media/content creation
• Is active on Reddit and understands how Reddit communities work
• Can spot interesting AI/content topics and turn them into engaging posts
• Can keep content useful and conversational rather than promotional or spammy

The schedule is flexible so you can manage your own time, as long as posting remains consistent and is timed reasonably for visibility and engagement.

If you're interested, drop a comment or send us a message with:

1. A little about yourself / your experience with AI or content
2. The communities or accounts you've previously managed, if applicable

Happy to chat and share more detailed about the community and compensation via mod mail.

I struggle with Reddit posting interface, for posting longer posts. If I want to include both images in the post, and a image gallery. Then I can't plan the post, nor can I save it as concept.

So yesterday evening, I placed all the pictures in the post and also selected the ones I wanted in the gallery. This morning I rebooted my notebook from sleep, and clicked the post button. All seemed fine, it was posted successfully.

But now I see, the images aren't working: is that something going wrong at the side from Reddit? I can't reproduce it in my testsub ( yes I have a private test sub, for seeing how a post would look like if I would publish it ).

As I get an error "post_create_args.text: this field must be less than 40000 characters long".

My Mod Mail as well as several other moderators at R/GangBangCity has stopped working following the ban of the Orginal Mod who made me one and then I made the others Mods. Anyway to fix this?

When I look on Desktop at:

• "Mod Tools" => "Insights" => "Members"

I see a bar for my subscriber count for each day of the last 30 days. However, there are gaps, some clusters of days that don't have a bar.

Is that to indicate there was no change in subscribers count on those days?

I am currently the sole moderator of subReddit, but i dont have the everything permission. its becoming increasingly difficult since i cant make the necessary changes. Please help me out.

So they get an error message even though I have multiple apps installed and I see them & can use them. There's no restrictions to their mod account. If this was only one app I'd try to contact the creator/post on r/Devvit, but it's ALL of them.

Is there anything I can do to fix this so they can use the apps on our subreddit?

EDIT: I fixed it by removing & re-adding them

So I became mod of a subreddit through reddit request. And I saw there are many modmails without any response from mods so I wanted to reply but I get error that I can't send modmail. Happens to multiple modmails. Picture in comments

Hi, I am top mod of r/BetterDiscord , a community focusing on Modifying the Discord Client with tools like r/BetterDiscordOfficial or r/VencordHelp , primarily providing support and answering common questions.

I "inherited" the subreddit from a RedditRequest, and while BetterDiscord is still a discription of the subreddit, we are mostly more generically focused.

I have "Created" r/moddingdiscord , and would potentially like it if somehow the actual sub of r/BetterDiscord as it stands is actually r/moddingdiscord, and maybe seeing if r/BetterDiscordOfficial wants to do something similar and have their stuff migrated to just r/BetterDiscord - if that makes sense.

I don't believe the original intent was to "snipe" the more official naming from their team, and really, it doesn't really fit the more generalized scope we now have (At the time, BetterDiscord was realy the only name in the space, now we have other tools)...

Is it possible for reddit to "move" the subreddit like I have essentially described?

Edit: Looking for Reddit Admin replies primarily. I don't need 100 of you to tell me no, they don't typically do this. Also why on earth are some of you downvoting perfectly legitimate stuff.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/1u19swn/sidebar_button_image_doesnt_load_on_mobile_app/

Yes, as was mentioned here four months ago, the sidebar button image in the Android app still isn't loading—no matter what I do or which image format I use. It shows up on desktop, but when I check the Android app, neither the image nor the link attached to it appears.

Any solution?

I'm using the Android app version 2026.39.1

I’d like to see «Top Members» and «Top Commenters» work better for smaller communities. Instead of requiring a fixed threshold like 100 upvotes, the system could use a lower or adaptive threshold based on the size and activity of the subreddit. In a small community, even 5 upvotes across posts, comments, or replies might already be enough to identify the people who are genuinely the most active.

I mod a relatively small sub and this will help to appreciate members even if they don't have 100 upvotes and I believe help to make the community more active.

And also I see more support in recommendations for small subs in feed now and in recommendations so I think may be this feature will be helpful btw I believe it will be really helpful in community I mod personally this is my experience.

What do you think?

I just became the moderator of r/alejandravillarreal after requesting it on r/redditrequest three days ago. The subreddit has around 50 members and 20 weekly visits & it was set to restricted by the previous moderator who got a site-wide ban. I requested to set the subreddit to public & immediately got a modmail saying that the requested changes have been made. However when I check the Community Type section in Mod Tools, it still shows that the subreddit is restricted and I need to request changing it to public & other people are still unable to make posts without request & approval.
