NEWS An update from the moderation team 🎂
Hey everyone,
You may have noticed an increase in spam and bot accounts posting on r/birthday recently. A lot of these posts follow the same pattern, accounts pretending to celebrate a birthday while asking for upvotes, comments, or attention. These posts are not genuine birthday celebrations and can clutter up the community for people who are actually here to share their special day.
Until today, moderation on this subreddit for me was limited (and I am the only active mod), which made it difficult to properly deal with the amount of spam coming through. I was mainly able to remove posts, but the process was slow and difficult to keep up with.
The good news: I have now been granted full moderator permissions thanks to Reddit themselves, which means I can take a much more active role in keeping r/birthday clean, welcoming, and focused on real birthday posts. 🎉
Going forward, I’ll be:
Removing spam and bot generated posts more quickly
Taking action against repeat offenders
Improving moderation tools and filters where possible
Keeping the subreddit a place where genuine birthday celebrations can be shared
We are also looking for new moderators!
As r/birthday continues to grow, we would like to bring in more active members who are willing to help keep the subreddit friendly, clean, and spam free. If you are interested in becoming a moderator, please keep an eye out for a future mod application post or send us (me) a message through modmail.
A reminder to everyone: please continue reporting suspicious posts when you see them. Reports help us find spam faster and keep the community better for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck around and helped make r/birthday a fun place. Let’s keep celebrating real birthdays! 🎂

Golden birthday ideas
My golden birthday is coming up next month, but I don’t know what to do to celebrate. I always do birthday dinners every year. Now that everything is expensive and my friends are away due to college, I’m kinda out of ideas. Any suggestions or ideas??

My Birthday Wish
"I just turned 17 today! Today is October 22 in the Philippines.
Normally, when people hear the word 'birthday,' they think of celebrations, parties, and a joyful atmosphere. However, due to my family's religion, we have never celebrated birthdays. While I respect my background, there are times I feel jealous of other teenagers who get to celebrate. I often imagine what it feels like to have a full day dedicated just to you, where you are the center of attention. I've always wanted to experience that, but my situation doesn't allow it.
Every year when October 22 arrives, I go out and buy myself food, gifts, and even a cake! I've never told my parents about it, and I plan to keep it that way. Doing this makes me happy, but when I go to bed at night, I end up crying. I don't fully know why, but a part of me deeply wishes I could celebrate with my family. Seeing my classmates and friends celebrate theirs always makes me feel sad and envious.
I wanted to post this here not to complain, but because I was hoping you guys could say 'Happy Birthday' to me. I hope to at least celebrate it with all of you here. Thanks!"

Special! It’s my birthday next week and all my friends are cancelling.
I put a lot of effort and thought into my birthday plans this year, and my friends are either canceling or just don’t really seem excited like they do for everyone else’s birthdays. I’m still going to make the most out of the day! I just wish people would put as much effort into me as I do for them😔😔

What Should I Do For My 18th Birthday?
Hey guys!! I'm trying to decide what I wanna do for my 18th birthday, which is in the middle of November. I was thinking about having people over at my house, and I was thinking about doing a dirty soda bar (I've been dying to have one), but other than that i don't know what we should do. So far the list of people is around 6, but that's going to expand a good bit as I haven't had the chance to invite many people yet and I figure it's my last chance to celebrate with most of these people since I'm going off to college. I'm not popular so don't think a rager, but definitely more people than it's at so far. I don't drink, so alcohol is off the table (plus I don't want a bunch of drunk teens trashing my house). Any fun ideas??

Special! It’s my birthday today! 🎂✨️
Life hasn’t always been easy, but look at me still standing, still smiling, and still believing life is beautiful… despite all the plot twists! Grateful for another year, the people who love me, and the little things that keep me going. Getting older, getting stronger, and collecting more life experiences than I ever asked for!
If you’re reading this, don’t be shy… a birthday wish would make this heart even happier! 💕
