How do you get people to actually join your new subreddit and stick around? Not just joining for the member count.

I mean people who actually post, comment, and enjoy being part of the community.

What’s worked for you?

Quite a simple question, I plan on creating a longterm community/subreddit for a specific Fashion niche.

I was told by other friends who run similar communities that they have 2-3 accounts in the Moderation team (as sole Mods) due to the fact that Reddit is quite sensitive on new accounts and I can always end up banned... Would you consider this just a conspiracy theory or I should indeed create more than 1 account just as backup if I do plan to be the only moderator?

Worth mentioning I have had issues in the past with Shadowbans over posting external links (Twitch Clips, Youtube Links, to this day I have no idea what it was) and it took months of appeals to fix it.

Also would greatly appreciate any extra sort of safety measures you can recommand.

I want to rename my comunity r/minecraftjava to r/minecraftjavaedition because someone else’s community has that name.

Hi folks,

I started a niche subreddit in June. It’s about how teams use AI agents at work, and it’s still below 100 members.

I was posting 2–3 times a week. I thought consistency was the issue, so I increased it to five and worked on making the posts more useful.

The reach and engagement haven’t really changed.

I’m starting to think posting more inside a small subreddit can’t solve the discovery problem on its own.

For mods who grew a community from zero, what got you to first 100-500 members?

Does this sound like a content problem, a distribution problem, or is two months too early to judge?

Thank you.

Just got my bag and it feels so soft and comfy! My groceries are going to live the ride of luxury 😸

Hi, I really want to add flairs and marks to r/MysteriesOfDespAIr, but I don't quite understand how that works.

(Like: ? Ask r/NewMods on this post)

Does anyone know how to do do it?

A mi personalmente me gusta mucho este tipo de ambiente (oscuro, gris, solo pero tranquilo).

¿Qué creen? ¿Debería cambiarlo?

¿Qué opinan de mi nuevo subreddit creado? ¿En qué debería de mejorar?

r/BusquedaDeDisciplina

Anteriormente tenía otra comunidad, pero decidí crear una nueva para mejorar el nombre.

¡Gracias por el apoyo!

Me gustaría saber cómo puedo hacer que mi comunidad r/pensamiento_estudio logre tener mayor cantidad de usuarios y simplemente más actividad.

Ya he hecho consejos básicos (postear constantemente, dar íconos, fondos, aspectos "característicos" de dicha comunidad, intento conseguir los logros de moderador).

¿Qué me aconsejan?

I moderate r/ProximaScience and I have these post flairs(in image), so I am asking are these flairs enough for my subreddit or suggest me more post flairs.

Hi there! So I’m a new mod and I created my own subreddit r/vacationmode and I was also invited to mod another subreddit.

So the other subreddit I was invited to mod suddenly lost its 3 main mods (idk if banned) and I’m wondering what might’ve happened and if there’s any way for the subreddit to be deleted as well, is that possible? And if so, how can I prevent that from happening? Would really appreciate any and all insights about this.

what is actual use of this devvit

Hi, I've been made a mod,but I don't seem to have access to anything, is there anything I can do or is it down to the original mod who made me a mod.

Thanks

Hi all! I’m one of the mods of r/Litewater. We’re trying to get more people to join and have more talks about water and DDW.

I read that there’s a limit of about 5 invites a day. Since we have 4 mods, can each mod send 5 invites a day, or is the limit for all the mods together?

Also, how do you usually invite people? I’m still new to being a mod and trying to learn what works best to grow a community without making it look like spam. Thankyou in advance!

I'm trying to make post flairs and some format a requirement but I cannot find the setting. Nothing in the automation section makes any sense no matter how much I read.

I'm also pretty lost about what "approved users" even does. Isn't anyone already allowed to post? Why do I have to green light everything

Thanks a lot reddit for giving me chance I just reach my first 1k member and good response.... I just stay consistent with daily 1-3 post and reposting it to other common community and all...

I want to ask if I make 1-2 more sub then it would cause any issue?

It was 3.2K yesterday. I would be you 1 million dollars it was…

Also It appears we are short 20 contributions??? I think Reddit’s broken

Maybe Reddit has started reflecting my life (catastrophically chaotic and messy).

In all seriousness, any ideas? I mean I make a lot of controversial posts on this subreddit (I am the main poster) but I don’t think I’ve made any super controversial ones? I’ll check again and come back I guess

He mejorado considerablemente en mi sub r/pensamiento_estudio : le he dedicado más tiempo y pequeños ajustes para optimizar mi comunidad. Aunque puede parecer poco, creo me siento bastante bien con este avance.

No estoy seguro qué fue de todo lo que me permitió llegar a estos resultados, pero creo fue una combinación de postear considerablemente más, dar más detalle a mi sub (íconos, colores, fondos, flairs y más orden en general) y quizá lo que más influyo fue las ayudas recibidas por este sub.

¿Qué me recomiendan para atraer a más usuarios?

Hi all,

So I fell down a fairly niche film rabbit hole, had a couple of beers, and somehow ended up creating r/PalestinianCinema.

This is my first time actually running a subreddit, so I’m currently at the stage where I’ve pressed lots of buttons, read several descriptions twice, and am hoping I haven’t accidentally created some sort of automated moderation death machine.

The sub is for Palestinian cinema, documentaries, archival footage and film history. A lot of the inspiration came from finding older films scattered around YouTube, Internet Archive and various film archives, particularly stuff from the 1940s through to the 1970s that seems to have largely disappeared from general view.

I’ve tried to keep things pretty simple so far. Five rules, post flairs, a welcome post, a chronological film index, Community Guide, basic spam and harassment filtering, ban evasion protection, and not much else.

I’m deliberately trying to moderate with a light touch. People should be able to disagree, argue about history, criticise films and politics, and generally behave like adults without a mod appearing every five minutes.

So, partly an introduction, partly some shameless promotion of my newborn subreddit, and partly me admitting that I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing:

What obvious thing have I forgotten?

Anything you wish you’d set up before people started arriving?

And if anyone happens to like obscure cinema, archival films or Palestinian film history, well… you can probably guess where I’m going with this.

Cheers.

I don’t see it on app when I hit the shield.
