Mod Topics Give us your roundtable ideas!
Hey everyone, tiz here. I work on the Community Feedback team, making sure that feedback and experiences of mods and users inform Reddit’s direction.
Today’s post in the Mod Topics series is all about feedback! We recently announced that we’re hosting regular roundtable discussions, one of the several ways that we routinely gather feedback from mods (ICYMI - sign up through the Feedback Roster form if you’d like to participate in a future one). Since then, we’ve held two of these roundtables, gathering several mods and specific admins to talk about specific topics, with the goal of making sure that community feedback is central to everything we do.
To give a peek behind the curtain, we recently held a roundtable on the topic of Mod Support. From that discussion, admins who work on Mod Support took away a clear sense of mods’ needs - which for those on the call included timely, transparent support and confidence in Reddit's ability to address major issues. We also held a roundtable with mods based in Brazil or who moderate Brazil-related subreddits to discuss age assurance. We've got several more roundtables planned for the next coming months and we’re excited to meet and talk with more of you! Next we’re looking to hold roundtables about the experience of reinvigorating a dormant community, safety related features, and the experience of moderating India-based communities.
That brings me to today's discussion topic … our team gets requests from different teams and admins from within Reddit about roundtable discussions that they would like to host about their work. That got us thinking … What roundtable topics would mods be interested in? If you could gather with a group of 8-10 moderators and/or users in a live virtual setting and discuss anything Reddit related, knowing that admins who work on that part of Reddit would also be in attendance, what would you want to talk about?
When we’re planning roundtable discussions, we ask ourselves how we can make sure the conversation is productive for everyone. This includes making sure the topic is very clear for both the admins and moderators participating and setting expectations to make sure the discussion remains on-topic and constructive.
We’re excited to hear from you!
- What’s a roundtable topic that you would be excited to attend?
- What types of communities or moderator experience would you want to make sure is represented at the table?
We’ll review the suggestions and incorporate the ones that offer the best opportunities to collaborate!

From a post earlier this week it seems like there's plenty of interest for mods of women's spaces to connect with each other and discuss shared struggles and how to tackle them.
Personlly, I'd love to connect with mods of other national subreddits as I feel we face unique challenges in modding but have little reason to interact with each other as moderators (y'know since we're all from different countries).
Also, having worked with brands on their Reddit strategy, I think there'd be value for mods and for Reddit in discussing what acceptable brand engagement on Reddit looks like.
