Is there a way to do this on desktop or iOS?
Some stuff came out and I want to ban them, but they also have "full permission" like me. Help? Android
My wiki is not showing on my subreddit. I've followed every direction possible, no luck. I've read countless times the intro and rules. These automated responses aren't helpful because I have already followed them to a T. I've been at this for hours every single week trying to figure it out. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I recently set up a subreddit for my company then i made this user account, I attempted to post with my user account in my subreddit, I can see my post in my history but it doesn't show up in the subreddit history. As a mod i was able to see the post after searching and then approved it, in spite of that noone can see it, it doesn't show as removed etc, it's just simply invisible to anyone. As a mod/ower I can comment on the invisible post and my user account can see that. I have automatic filters set to the lowest setting reddit allows.
How can i setup my community to not hide posts like this? Many of our new users over the next weeks are going to be new to reddit with 0 karma etc and the last thing I want is reddit shadowbanning everyone and not telling me about it. If there isn't exactly an easy way to do this any advice would be much appreciated!

How can I get it to let me post nsfw videos on this nsfw community android
So I moderate a political sub with 22K subscribers and this past few months have been very busy for us. We are getting a fair few complaints regarding astroturfing.
So I wanted to ask other moderators from other mod-teams how you usually deal with astroturfing without compromising free speech. Is it simply a matter of expecting users to report this as part of your spam policy or do you usually take other measures?

I’m trying to get live chat or discussions enabled in my group. I’ve sent in what i think is a request to reddit but they never answered? How can i get this enabled? I’m on IOS
I need help on renaming my Subreddit name. I think we can rename subreddit right?? Or is it not possible right now. I'm using Android
As the title says, the interface hides (ie, stops showing me at all) posts I have downvoted. I don't want that, I want to be able to still see them, particularly in the subreddit that I moderate, because I feel it's important to be able to see what's happening in such posts.
Can I do this? This is a problem on desktop and on mobile (Android). On old reddit there were a bunch of options for stuff like this, but I don't want to go to old reddit (and I can't use old reddit in the app anyway, which also has this behavior)
I am using a desktop browser. I moderated a sub which gained a few hundred members, and then took it private to converse with other mods. Only me and the other mods show as "approved users," yet my profile shows my posts to this sub get dozens or even hundreds of views. Can legacy members still see content in private subs, even if they are not "approved users?"
This is what I have so far:
type: submission
author:
account age: "< 1 month"
combined karma: "< 20"
action: remove
message: Your account does not meet the karma and/or age requirements of this subreddit. Please return when you have gained more karma, and when your account is older.
type: comment
author:
account age: "< 1 month"
combined karma: "< 20"
action: remove
message: Your account does not meet the karma and/or age requirements of this subreddit. Please return when you have gained more karma, and when your account is older.
I got most of this code from a somewhat recent YouTube tutorial. I also took some creative liberties with the code by making my own message, adding in the type comment, and putting in the account age. I'm new to this so I'm well aware that I probably butchered this code and I can't find any recent tutorials so all help is appreciated. I'm doing this on Desktop Microsoft

Hi. I found that if I disable image post type on the community setting, it will also disable the image upload on the text post.
Is there any way to disable Image Post Type only and still allow my members to upload the image on the text post?
This is on the Windows / desktop browser version of Reddit.
I'm trying to get an automated help thread posted in my sub (r/LegionGo) and the first time I did, I got an automod message. Is there any way to block that from happening the next time I post the same message?
This is on the Windows / desktop browser version of Reddit.
Only in my subreddit, does creating a post, the submit page shows a page not found. Works with the Android mobile apps, with new reddit & old reddit and other subs (like this post), but not my sub. Tried with another browser and another account, another IP, tried Desktop, mobile browser, same thing.
Looking at settings I don't see anything that would prevent that.

In new.reddit, my subreddit doesn't show me any Posts. The default view is [hot]; but the first 3 all fail to show anything apart from the above message, and a 'Post' button:
The only filter that shows any content is /rising.
Post and Comment settings allow everything, except Archiving. My spam filter settings are low, low, low.
This has been a long-standing issue, at least 6 months, and similar on both Desktop and Mobile, so I tend to use old.reddit instead. Not sure if it's related but previously I've noticed a quirk where some posts from the community just didn't seem to show up in the filters at all, and I only find them was through my recent notifications.
This is on desktop with new reddit. Most modmail boxes I click on show mail for a split second then go blank with "no mail" displayed. Same with modmail, and I can't even figure out how to start a thread with other mods, and I have in the past. Went to modmail config and couldn't find anything that could help.

Not the icon, just the background. Android
I accidentally removed a post, but then corrected that by approving the post. That's supposed to 'unremove' the post, right? Now, the post can be viewed by other people (tested this with incognito) if they have the right URL, but it's not showing up on the list of posts on the subreddit itself

How can I cancel queues in my subreddit and make posts publish automatically?

We have been dealing with a troublemaker user that have been causing trouble in the community for a long time. After several temporally bans we decided to use a permanent one and get rid of that toxic user.
On the modmail the user complained that he doesn't care, that he has a lot of alt accounts and will come back with all of them to keep causing trouble.
So I wanted to report this modmail answer for "ban evasion" (like... he literally confess that will evade it), but when I submit the report it says that I reported to myself (probably because is a reply to my mod message).
Is this a reddit bug? How can I report this case?
Can I take down the bugged report and do it again?
I did it wih the official Reddit App for Android, should I use the web version? In old, new or www Reddit?
Phone, Android
I'm trying to figure out how to update the topic of a subreddit if I am taking one over that was formerly banned. I have not been able to find it in the mod settings. I am trying to find the settings in the desktop version.
Hello, I mod a subreddit (r/opiatesrecovery) which is a support group for people in recovery from opioid addiction. Four times now (under different accounts) a user has tried to offer opioids in comments or a straight post. I know this coming from the same person/entity because they include a link to their “telegram” handle each time 🤦🏽♂️. I have set up the appropriate evasion filters, but they have been able to post under new accounts.
I want to make sure this “person” cannot put content like that in our community again. I also want to report them but have been unable to because the accounts are usually quickly deleted. What is the best way I can report this illegal and repulsive behavior?
Thank you — first time posting here.
*My platform is usually iOS (iPhone).
I've seen some designed upvotes and downvotes on some subreddits, and i wanted to do one for a subreddit, but I don't really know how? Is their a way to do it? If so, I would be very appreciated! Im using a android version on my samsung phone.
Anytime I go to browser Reddit(with or without desktop version) and try to mod my subs with mod tools it just brings me to queues and I am unable to add anything to my sub, it allows me to do so on the app version but I am limited to what I can do on there.
I'm an intern moderator and I need to get this done ASAP. I can't create a chat section for the subreddit. I read articles on reddit help pages and there was a Google form link that asked me about my username,my community in which I want a chat and the reason behind why I want a chat section. I submitted the form but no response. And now I don't know how to create the official subreddit chat. Kindly help if you know what to do next.
I'm using Android phone and a laptop both.
