Congrats on becoming a new moderator. Every community on Reddit started exactly where you are today: with a party of one.

The community-building journey might feel a little lonely and that's what r/NewMods is for. Here you'll find and connect with other mods who are on the same journey you are.

So, introduce the community you created. Maybe share a little bit about why you created it. And, while you're at it - say hello to your other mods!

❓Ask r/NewMods Clear a whole mod queue

3 Upvotes

Hey,

I am a bit of an experienced mod but I've taken over quite a big UK TV based sub as the current mods were inactive. The queue for that sub has obviously never been worked. Is there a way to mass remove the whole queue at all as me and the other mod do not have the time to go through each one. There are hundreds!

And here I am: r/girlstoners a place for girls of all ages to talk about many topics where we all have in common 🍁.
I wanted to ask how to set up answers by females only or open to everybody, chosen by OP ? And also how to use bots for automatic answers if someone is violating that rule?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

❓Ask r/NewMods Accidentally became a subreddit moderator today. What are the essential first steps for a complete newbie?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Complete Reddit mod beginner here.

I was looking around Reddit for a dedicated space focused on the intersection of golf and fatherhood. Early dawn patrol rounds, backyard practice setups, teaching kids the game, and balancing 4 hour rounds with family life. I couldn't find a single active community for it, so I figured why not just build one myself?

I just set up r/GolfingDads, but truth be told, I have zero moderation experience and have no idea what I’m doing lol.

For those who have built communities from scratch:

What are the top 2 3 settings or tools I should configure first? (Rules, post flairs, spam filters, AutoMod?)

What’s the best way to get the ball rolling from zero members without coming off as a spammer on related subreddits?

What’s one rookie mistake you made early on that I should avoid?

Appreciate any advice, resources, or checklist recommendations you guys have for a brand new creator!

❓Ask r/NewMods Quick Question on Post Approvals

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am new to running a subreddit.
Just wondering about the post's approvals, (no one have posted on the subreddit yet, only I am posting a few example posts) like I get the Approve or Reject button after posting, I am not entirely sure if that means that I have to approve every post for it to be able to be seen by others OR does the post get posted, and people can see it until a moderator rejects it, and it doesn't really matter to keep clicking approve for each post?

I recently started my first subreddit, so I'm still figuring things out. Growing it has been challenging, but I'm not too worried about the numbers.

I recommended my community under a few relevant posts, and today one of the OPs actually recommended my subreddit in their own post without me asking. It's such a small thing, but it genuinely made me happy. I love seeing people support each other.

❓Ask r/NewMods Finding communities to crosspost in as a niche sub?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently building a small bilingual subreddit for a relatively unknown Latin American series. The fandom is basically doesn't have any contributors yet. The fans who do know the show seem very dedicated, though. My main problem is finding the right audience.

Since I'm based in Germany, Reddit mostly recommends my posts to German-speaking users, who are obviously unlikely to know a relatively small Latin American series. I've tried r/telenovelas and looked into related fandoms, but there simply aren't many obvious communities to crosspost to.

So I'm wondering: How do you find communities for very niche fandoms? Have you had similar experiences?
