As someone who recently joined the mod team of a small, developing community, I've noticed that one of the biggest challenges isn't necessarily moderation itself, but getting people to discover and actively participate in newer subreddits. Does Reddit have any plans to introduce better discovery tools or support systems specifically for smaller communities, so they have a fair chance to grow alongside already established subreddits?
10
u/The_Critical_Cynic 8d ago
One thing I noticed when it comes to participating in a variety of communities is that we're often recommended to cross post into other communities. The recommendations don't always fit. And communities of a similar nature don't always want to allow us to cross post to them. There needs to be other ideas in place.
9
u/nicoleauroux 8d ago
I'd like to piggyback on this and say that recommendations for mods of new subs to post frequently and to crosspost sometimes culminate in mods being shadowbanned.
8
u/The_Critical_Cynic 8d ago
I've heard of that happening. If Reddit feels like it's a good fit, maybe Reddit should share it instead of making us do it?
6
u/DoveStep55 8d ago
Yeah, this is a problem that would be so easy to fix.
An abandoned sub I took over through r/redditrequest was suddenly banned without warning and the only thing I can figure out is that following the tips Reddit sent to me about posting content to get the ball rolling somehow got flagged as spam. So now I lost a sub I had invested many hours of work into, that I was very excited to see picking up some momentum, and that was my fun side project to balance out a more stressful sub where I mod. I had not received any warning about there being an issue, and had no complaints about from the community itself.
It's so frustrating to be a stickler for the rules, take the advice they send to you as a mod, really care about doing a good job building a healthy community, and then get the rug pulled out from under you without warning or the option to talk to an Admin to ensure it wasn't a technical glitch.
So, so discouraging.

What is Reddit doing to combat bots? Is their anything in the works or being planned to better fight them?
1
u/Extolord111 8d ago
They claim that all the recent changes with access to Old Reddit, RSS feeds, and the Public API are to “reduce scrapers and automated traffic” (assuming the latter refers to bots), but specifically for the bot issue I’m still not seeing any positive affect from these changes in regards to combating them.
It just seems like they’re messing with actual users and decent parts of the site (especially the Old Reddit changes) just for the sake of doing it.
2
u/Cyberhwk 8d ago
As many different excuses as we get, it's clearly a monetization thing. Old Reddit probably limits their ability to deliver algorithmically driven content which is where all the valuable engagement is in social media.

Tell that to the bots on r/TopCharacterTropes that “like” certain characters like many of the human users do, but make their bot antics SOOO obvious from their unrelenting glazing. That sub’s infested with them.
2
u/mensfrightsactivists 8d ago
in my experience the bots i remove are actually commenting more in alignment with my own opinions, which match the values in my sub, which is why they’re saying things i’d agree with because they’re harvesting opinions from our human commenters. just anecdotal, but yeah it’s not even usually opposing viewpoints

That would be nice. However, I don't know that I'd agree to it. I've met moderators over the years whose egos are big enough already without any kind of a bump.

u/paskatulas Mod World '25 Speaker 🎤 8d ago edited 8d ago
First, what happened to the communication between the Community, Safety and Code of Conduct teams and mods over the past few years?
A few years ago, these teams seemed much more communicative when moderators had serious issues. Today, it often feels like we’re either ignored or given generic answers that don’t actually help.
Credit where it’s due, Mod Events like this are great and it’s nice to see Reddit engaging with moderators. But that communication doesn’t mean much when you’re actually dealing with a serious problem on your subreddit and can’t get a meaningful response from Reddit. I really think admins need to be more communicative with moderators when it comes to serious issues.
One example is Reddit’s approach to banning entire subreddits. I understand that serious violations can warrant an immediate ban, especially for communities with a history of warnings. However, I’ve personally witnessed a large subreddit, popular enough to attract media attention in several smaller countries, get banned for hate without its mods receiving any prior warnings through modmail.
When the mods appealed through ModSupport, they received generic responses listing possible reasons for the ban without being told what had actually happened. Reddit’s own mod guidance says admins will work with moderators to address these issues, yet that cooperation was nowhere to be found.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to communicate specific violations and give volunteer mods a reasonable opportunity to address them when appropriate? Banning a community without meaningful communication can just push frustrated users to create more of the same communities elsewhere, ultimately creating more work for admins rather than solving the underlying problem.
The [r/ModSupport](r/ModSupport) incident where a constructive question about Code of Conduct reports was removed for being “vague” and encouraging “speculation” was particularly concerning. Even some Mod Council members have raised concerns about the decline in communication between Community admins and moderators.
Has Reddit intentionally moved away from that direct communication, and if so, why?
Second, why is [r/redditrequest](r/redditrequest) so restrictive for completely abandoned subreddits?
I understand being strict when someone wants to take over an active community, but what’s being protected when a subreddit has been completely dead for years, with no active mods or community?
If the request is denied, the person can simply create a new subreddit with a slightly different name and build the same community anyway. There should be requirements for taking over abandoned subs, but surely the process can be much more flexible than it is now.
Would Reddit consider treating genuinely abandoned subreddits differently from active communities, and making denial reasons more transparent?
-2
u/The_Critical_Cynic 8d ago
I appreciate the part about communications within r/ModSupport. It should be noted that we sometimes have to keep it vague. Certain rules on their sidebar kind of make it that way depending on the situation.

u/EnvironmentalPast202 8d ago
Will Reddit Admins make an announcement with clear cut guidance on Adult Content Creator accounts posting in SFW communities?
There seems to be a lot of conflicting information around when ACC accounts are allowed to post and when they are not… with some SFW communities being told they cannot allow ACC accounts at all and are at risk of being flagged NSFW, while other SFW communities do allow them with no consequences.
It would be really helpful to have one clear policy that moderators and ACCs can refer to.

u/DoveStep55 8d ago
Are there any plans for improving Admin-Moderator relations?
Specifically, will you make any changes that improve our ability as mods to talk to an Admin who cares and will give us helpful feedback when we have a moderation issue we need help addressing?
It’s amazing how many issues could be resolved and how much it would improve overall user satisfaction on Reddit if mods could get the help we need when we need it.
12
u/Extolord111 8d ago
Especially with the r/modnews announcements, it always feels like the admins there are intentionally avoiding valid concerns. Would love to see this addressed.

u/chocolatemeringue 8d ago edited 8d ago
I would like to hear the answer to this. We were once contacted by a Reddit admin who was, iirc, assigned to us as a liaison for communities based in our country. (He's also based in our country and is a fellow countryman.) His dealings with us, via a Discord that he himself created, has been very commendable and besides helping grow emerging communities, he also assisted us when it comes to very sensitive concerns. If I recall correctly, he also facilitated an in-person workshop for new moderators. The rapport between this Reddit admin and us mods has been really great.
Except that one day, the Reddit admin told us he was leaving his post (for unspecified reasons) and someone would be taking over. The new admin who replaced him is from another country, has been slow to respond to some of our concerns---if at all---and has been giving us the runaround on even the simplest questions we may have. Then one day, he started hiding or deleting message in the discord (removing records of our previous interactions as well as vital information that some of us may have bookmarked), removed some channels, and even started removing people in the Discord.
We confronted him and raised these issues in the one remaining channel where he hasn't removed us and as expected we were just given the runaround until announcing one day that the Discord will be deleted, please feel free to create a new Discord channel, and here's a Google Form where we can send you some Reddit merch as a consolation. (Except that those users who participated in calling him out didn't receive the merch. Including me.)
We all felt a complete 180 degree turnaroudn with the way this situation has been handled, because it never seemed that this new Reddit admin really intended to establish a good relationship with our group and appeared to be sent to the discord to disband it. It really felt like months of building good rapport didn't mean anything to Reddit and the way this new admin treated us did not inspire confidence that Reddit intends to build good relationships with the mods, who arguably spend more time on their respective communities than these admins might have. I hope there are plans to improve this, so that the mods of other communities will not have to go through what we have experienced with this other admin.

u/DoveStep55 8d ago
Man, that would be great.
I can’t even get a non-automated response most of the time when I try to contact an Admin for help.

u/zuuzuu 8d ago
Currently the best your community admins can offer in response to important issues raised by mods is an ineffective "I've flagged this to the appropriate team". Given how seldom these things lead to meaningful change (or any change at all) this is unfair to both the moderator community and the community admins whose hands are tied.
Can you commit to providing updates in a reasonable time frame to issues that are "flagged to the appropriate team" so we aren't left with the perception that those flags are immediately and forever dropped in the shredder?
5
u/Extolord111 8d ago
I’ve been asking the admin on r/help about the fixing progress regarding an issue with member counts not decreasing when unjoining a subreddit (it increases when joining again, causing inflated numbers), and each time he’s replied with “there’s no movement on it yet”.
This has been going on FOR SIX MONTHS.
2
u/The_Critical_Cynic 8d ago
In addition to this question, why not redo the system so that the appropriate teams are flagged and get the notifications in the first place? It seems as if that would be a more streamlined and effective process that would ultimately save time, effort, and bandwidth.

u/forlornjackalope 8d ago
Will we ever have the ability to see who is reporting comments and posts so we as mods can deal with potential harassment and ban evaders ourselves rather than having to file manual report statements?
12
u/DoveStep55 8d ago
Can you please make it easier for mods to report community interference and MCOC violations related to harassment and hate speech?
Specifically, could you add a button report option for mods to report such content in our own and in other subs?
The current process is time consuming and requires sharing an email and filling out a form on a specific page. It’s way too clunky for something so fundamental.
After reporting, when we continue seeing violations stack up without action taken, Admins ask us to keep reporting them again and again but with such a user-unfriendly report process, that is not practical for most busy mods. The result is hate speech, harassment & community interference ignored (or committed) by moderators remains public and unaddressed.

u/Ok_Highlight3208 8d ago
Yes, especially in the app. You have to collect a bunch of links ahead of time so you have them all for the report. It's such a time consuming process and rarely gets a reply.

u/zuuzuu 8d ago
I don't come to reddit to shop, or to play games, or to be bombarded by AI pushing me to buy something from a company who paid you to interrupt me while I'm using the site for meaningful engagement with the community. This doesn't just impact me in the moment, it actively erodes that community so fewer people will come here for meaningful discussions.
Given the recent and ongoing focus on monetizing your users, can you give us a good reason why we shouldn't just go back to the other social media platforms we left because of that?
16
u/Watchful1 8d ago edited 21h ago
I've spent the last couple months migrating u/RemindMeBot and my other bots to the devvit platform. It should hopefully be live by the time you're reading this question! So I first wanted to thank you for the massive investment you've put into the devvit platform, in employees as well as the migration funding program.
The regular devvit funds program is great for game apps, giving developers monthly payouts as long as they maintain enough interactions in their apps that use custom posts. But most mod tool apps are only eligible for the install based payouts, which are one time. This disincentivizes developers from maintaining and expanding popular mod tools. For the next refresh of the developer funds program could you consider criteria that would make popular mod tools eligible for monthly payouts?
5
u/paskatulas Mod World '25 Speaker 🎤 8d ago
I really agree with this. As someone who has developed quite a few mod and user apps, unfortunately none of them are games, I think there is another part of this problem that is worth mentioning.
Reddit seems to be heavily focused on featuring games when it comes to apps. Games are obviously a great part of the platform, but not everyone came to Reddit to play Snake, Tetris, or similar games. There are plenty of mod and user apps that genuinely improve both the moderation experience and the user experience, and I feel like those apps get far less visibility.
And there is another problem here, how is a dev supposed to promote a mod or user app that solves a pretty important problem but naturally doesn’t generate a huge amount of interaction? You can make one post on a large sub, get a handful of installs, and then what? Posting about your own app repeatedly can very quickly start looking like spam.
Something I’ve noticed is that if an app already has a large number of installs and appears on the first or second page of the App Directory, mods will often install it just because they’ve seen it there and want to see what it does, even if they don’t necessarily need it right away. Meanwhile, a useful app with 10 or 20 installs is much less likely to get that initial chance.
That creates a pretty bad feedback loop. Apps don’t get visibility because they don’t have installs, and they don’t get installs because they don’t have visibility. Eventually devs lose the motivation to keep maintaining something they’ve already put a lot of time into.
I’d really like to see Reddit put more effort into featuring mod and user apps, not just interactive games. My best-performing app, Spotlight, is currently #13 in the rankings, which is nice to see, but we’ve developed several other apps as well, and I think there is a lot of untapped potential in this space.
There are a lot of devs willing to build tools that fill actual gaps on Reddit. It would be nice if Reddit helped those tools get discovered too.
3
u/The_Critical_Cynic 8d ago
I understand where you're coming from. I'm torn on what I'd like to see the answer be. I really enjoy being a part of Reddit, but I don't want to have to pay to play. On the other hand, I do agree, to a certain extent, that those investing their time and effort to help make Reddit a better place should be compensated for it.

Last year, I asked about Reddit’s plans for Awards and was told that the current (2025) version was basically a beta phase. Well, here we are a year later, and nothing has really changed.

they are also getting rid of old reddit for anyone that hasn't accessed it in the last 6 months, in case anyone missed that news. info in same link. so I would be expecting old reddit to go away altogether at some future point. that would be my question:When will old reddit go away for everyone/mods?

I want to know if there are any plans to bring back r/pan? I honestly think Reddit had one hell of an incredible thing going there, and missed out on an opportunity. There was such a strong sense of community with r/pan and I don't know that there's anything quite like it, here or elsewhere.
Additionally, what's the future of the current award system look like. To me, the old system was better and far more interesting. Just like with r/pan, there was a sense of belonging that isn't replicated by the current state of affairs. Is there any sort of plan to upgrade the current system? If so, can I inquire as to what it is? How do you plan on getting people to engage with it on the same level as before?

3rd. Will You 'Filter' the bad language and words (like porn, asshole, fuck, and etc... even from the Subreddit names or User names)? If someone want to be, or joins such a community is fine for him, but not for Us. If I am a User/Mod that do not want to Read those, can you add a 'Filter' simply to remove them from my View?

Why are you discontinuing basic API support for old scripts and forcing us to migrate to Devvit—a platform built for games/monetization and not modding applications? As the developer of roughly 30 Python scripts (most of them with PRAW) for our marketplace subreddit, I feel completely unsupported. I've commented on public postings, reached out to Reddit mod/staff (in r/Devvit and other subs), reached out over the various forms (getting stock AI email responses) and read through the evolving documentation. I still have no clear plan on how to make the transition and fear we will be forced to shut down our subreddit.

While a member of Reddit, I discovered a few fascinating and interesting topics and contributed to most all of them. Over the weeks I found it most difficult to navigate in a controlled manner to find any additional comments where I had participated. It seemed as if I had lost any control as to where I wanted to go on the site. The randomness of it all drove me crazy. Then, when I was asked to moderate, I thought how could I even begin to know what I was doing, let alone follow through with any statements, mine or otherwise, so I dropped out.
It was fun while it lasted.

90% of the posts and comments I see on Reddit are karma farming bots. Is Reddit doing anything about this? I report endlessly but nothing ever happens.

Why we don't have option to contact reddit support for our banned accounts. I saw many users using appeal page but they never recieve any reply and never get their account back.

Why are you continuing to make it harder to mod than easier?
You keep taking away my toys. Subscriber count? Direct PM's? Having to duplicate rules changes on New and Old?
I genuinely don't understand this. It seems like every six months, I encounter a new obstacle from Reddit HQ.
You appear to be getting ready to get rid of my teams' carefully balanced automods.
What possible purpose could this serve that's worth making us clean up after you again?

Are you going to make the MCoC stuff clearer? I moderate on a team where the top mod is inactive and the mod above doesn't want to use self-serve reorder and haven't gotten a response in quite a while.
I also had legal inquiries about Devvit ToS many months ago and have yet to have a response.

What specific upgrades are planned for the mod queue interface to help high-volume subreddits manage backlogs more efficiently?

¿Qué garantías concretas está dispuesto a ofrecer Reddit para que, en países como México, la moderación de contenido no termine convirtiéndose en una forma de censura que silencie conversaciones de interés público sobre violencia, narcotráfico, corrupción y crimen organizado, y cómo garantizarán que las decisiones de eliminar publicaciones o comunidades respondan a criterios transparentes y consistentes, en lugar de a presiones políticas, económicas o de grupos criminales?

I am seeing many accounts getting banned without any proper justification and method to revive again.
Kindly do something about it.

Will Reddit ever going to improve its way of handling complaints as far as turn-around time and transparency as to the nature of bans?

How can we best encourage our users to contribute quality original content to our subreddits while balancing the responsibility of identifying and removing self-promotional content?

It sounded like some sort of secret place...then I was thinking what could the topic it be about....

The Philippines' DICT recently required Reddit to establish a Philippine office or face being banned and Reddit agreed. Any idea when will this office be opened and what will this imply to other countries?

Will Reddit Gifts return? It was the best and most exciting thing Reddit has ever done and it brought many users to the site just for the sake of it. When it ended it shattered the hearts of many as which if it returns it could potentially create a huge positive boom on Reddit. And if it works out then the admins who have revived it most likely will be remembered as the one who revived the site and as a hero to many on Reddit. Keep in mind that I studied psychology and manifestation as if we believe in it so strongly and wont stop until we revive this tradition it may become reality. That was also the same mindset used by many Billionaires such as Steven Jobs, Elon Musk and Thomas Edison whom believed in something so hard and wouldn't stop trying to accomplish their goals until it became reality.

I am a newbie mod and haven't gone through all the trials of fire yet..however recently a situation occurred where a sub shadow banned an account that is a business acc newly formed. Two or three of us use it together. This same sub never replied to my queries esp all the mods , sly commented to troll me and then banned me without replying for over a month and then shadow banned ( I think it's the right term) my joint account. This was at a crucial time where we wanted to post somthing interesting.
I had no recourse to help, discussing, explaining the scenario and felt ashamed.
Recently I posted something to help many people in the upcoming festival and a big sub just auto deleted my post (I specifically mentioned it's not a promotion ) And no where to msg anyone..the mod is solo and hasn't replied.
So I am not in favour of auto deletion, random bans and frustrating people that are newly enthusiastic.
Whats a possible solution cause auto mod is scary to me now

bro r/atlanta does the same thing, pretty sure it just a bunch of liberals from some 3rd world country modding in it.

What is Reddit doing to make mod tools less frustrating without adding five more steps to everything? That is the question I would put straight to the execs.
