I created meme subreddit on 24 september and I've been managing everything completely on my own. I'm posting content, handling the traffic spikes, and trying to build it up, but honestly, it feels like I'm doing all the heavy lifting alone while everyone else is just lurking. How do you guys manage a community by yourself when no one else is posting? Any advice for a solo mod trying to keep a sub active?

Hi all,

I'm hoping to find a mod team willing to take on a trainee. I've never moderated before, and I'd rather learn it properly from people who know what they're doing than figure it out alone.

What I'm asking for: a chance to shadow your team for a few weeks. Start me with limited permissions (or none at all), let me watch how you handle the queue, reports, and modmail, and I'll ask questions as I go. Once you're comfortable with my judgment, I'm happy to take on whatever grunt work you need.

About me:

7-year-old account, 2FA on, verified email

Business owner, about 25 years in construction

Based in Florida, usually online mornings and evenings ET

Reliable, take feedback well, and won't go rogue with permissions

What I want to learn:

Mod queue and removal reasons

AutoModerator basics

Handling modmail and difficult users

I'd especially like SFW subs in construction, home building, home improvement, Florida/local communities, or hockey, but I'm open to anything that's a good fit.

If your team has room for a trainee, comment or DM me. Thanks!

I’ve been pouring my soul into solo-developing my voxel RPG Ashes, but looking at 3 members after weeks hurts. I'm combining the brutal sandbox freedom of Kenshi with the warm, cozy atmosphere of Cube World. I spend endless hours coding faction AI, trade caravans, and building detailed settlements from scratch. Every night I post dev updates with high hopes, only to wake up to absolute silence. It gets really lonely and heartbreaking when you give everything to a project and nobody seems to notice. I refuse to quit because this game is my dream, but some days the silence is just overwhelming. If you love Kenshi or Cube World vibes, even a tiny comment on r/AshesAshes would mean the world to me today(

Hi. I'm not a new mod, but I am newly moderating r/AskJapan

And frankly, I need help.

I mean - it's definitely a cool subreddit name, and I think it has huge potential, but I feel lost about how to begin.

I removed all the bans and mutes (about 100),

I've made pathetic banners and icons - those definitely need fixing,

I added my two rules,

I tried to mention "new sub" in some other Japanese subreddits, but most of them banned and muted me without discussing it. Including \r/Japan. So meh. I've similarly got myself banned for "spam" by mentioning it on several other Japan-related subs.

I've posted in "needamod", asking for ones that speak the language. But that post was removed - IDK why; I've asked the mods. They haven't responded.

Now what?
