Enabling the feature to create a Chat room for the subreddit

The sub has been up for a couple of years and has about 35k members. I would greatly appreciate some help with tips or methods for making an official chat room for the sub and the necessary changes I need to make via mod tools to do it via Reddit Desktop. Thank you. r/JEW_C_TUATT

Sub has been a community for 11 years, but there are no posts older than 7 months

I'm trying to gather metrics on usage, topic etc, but all of the history is gone. Is there a way to restore it? Why would those older posts be removed?

What if an old mod rejoins the sub?

Hello, I am currently a mod and about to "take over" a subreddit because the current mod (who is the creator of the sub) wants to get out of the group.

What happens if he rejoins the group? Does he automatically become a mod/most senior mod/owner?

Is there anything I can do about aggressive spam reporting?

In one of the subs I'm modding over the last few days weve been getting hit with excessive reports. But only on content involving trans people. Is there a way to ban the false reporter? Or is it more a just deal with it as it comes situation? I do most of my modding on android if that helps.

Why does pinning an image post to community highlights make it look like a link post?

On another sub I mod for on another account, I posted an image and then later on added it to the highlights. In the subreddit's feed, it changed (visually) into a link post, with the image address as a hyperlink and the image as a little box on the right hand side. I've only ever pinned youtube link posts before, and those always continue to display normally in the feed as an embedded video and not as a link.

Does anyone know why this happens? Is it a bug? I can't find any other posts about it - every time I search, it's always about people who posted an image in a text post. I posted via the "Images & Video" tab, and it looked like a perfectly normal image post before I added it to community highlights, and then reverted back to normal when I unpinned it.

I'm on desktop, using the newest version of reddit. The post looked the same regardless of which account I viewed the subreddit on (and when I was logged out), and looked normal on my mobile browser.

Thanks.

Can mods approve and upload posts after the user has deleted their account ?

Please tell me if mods can approve and upload a post , which was removed after a thousand views , after the user has deleted their account ? ( Android User )

Suppose someone made a post , it got removed , now the user wants to delete their account but is worried that the post ( specifically detailed bodytext ) would remain on reddit . Is it possible for mods to upload posts after that particular user has deleted their account before the approval and reinstating of the said post ?

Reviving old subreddit with 6k members but no posts since 2020

Hi all,

I read here many different posts regarding reviving an old community and recently took over r/Diamond by requesting through r/redditrequest and have a couple of questions. People who have successfully revived dead communities, what methods did you use to achieve this? What suggestions do you have for me in regards to getting new members, getting consistent posts.

My game plan is to post every day on topics within Diamonds to help get old members to engage. An issue I noticed is that when you search r/diamond it wont come up right away (totally understand why because it was inactive for so long that reddit doesnt show it right away and would rather show more active communities). Are there any ways to get this subreddit to be more searchable? I have a feeling the answer is to get the community more active lol but just wanted to double check. Thank you for your time as always!

I want to ban a user, but user account was already suspended some time ago

Hi all, a user continuously breaches the sub's rules, so we want to ban them. However, I don't know how to do it, as apparently the account is suspended:

Account suspended

Reddit has suspended this account. Mod notes and previous actions are preserved, but other data is inaccessible.

How can a suspended account still post? And how can I stop them from posting again?

I have no way of doing so either on IOS or Mobile

Concerned About Copyright Issues in My Subreddit

Hi everyone,

I started a subreddit dedicated to digital jigsaw puzzles, and I’m really enthusiastic about it. However, I’m worried about potential copyright issues since it’s a fan group for digital jigsaw puzzles from various apps and websites. Here are my main concerns:

Posting Frequency and Schedule: I want to post multiple times a day to keep the community engaged, but I’m not sure how to balance this without overwhelming members. Any tips on finding the right frequency?

Themes and content: I enjoy themes like animals, cottages, birds, and flowers. Should I stick to these, or are there other popular themes I should consider?

Written Posts and Questions: I plan to include questions and app reviews in my posts. How often should I post these types of content to keep things interesting?

Copyright Concerns: I’m worried about copyright issues since I’m sharing puzzles from different apps and websites. Should I make a post about copyright to inform the community? Has anyone dealt with similar concerns, and how did you handle it?

Community Engagement: I want to encourage more people to post and understand when to post. As an admin, I want to keep the community active, but I know it requires frequent posting. Any advice on how to manage this effectively?

I understand that it’s my subreddit as told in a comment in previous post and ultimately, I need to decide what works best for me as no one else in the sub can help. However, I’m still trying to figure out the best posting schedule and how to handle copyright concerns. Should I consider removing the subreddit if the copyright issues are too risky?

Thanks for any advice you can provide! 😊

I use iOS

Can I not request subs?

I recently tried to request a subreddit with no moderators but my post just got removed immediately and no automod comment. Waited a while and still no automod comment. I’ve already requested and obtained a few subreddits, and it’s been well over 15 days since my last request, so why is my request just being removed?

Using iOS but that doesn’t seem to be important

18+ NSFW

I recently created a 18 + private community to share adult content with a select few. However, I can't post any adult/mature/18+ content because it tells me that my community does not allow that post type. I've checked all the settings, I've searched high and low, and have not figured it .

Platform used, Android and Mobile Web

Automod help

There is this sub called r/popularclub where if you’ve ever gotten on the top 25 posts of Reddit, it adds you as an approved user. How does one do this using automod ?

Also, the sub is private. I was able to get in because of the of the 25 top post. My second question is can this be done on a public subreddit ? Desktop

Automod Based on Flair?

For my sub, r/flightforum, I want to set up an automod system that automatically leaves a comment on every post based on the post flair. I know that no one posts on it, but I still like having all of those things. Working in Chrome on desktop. How do I do this? I've seen it on other subs.

How do I get rid of the top poster flairs?

I moderate a scientific community where I control flairs. I want the top poster flairs gone as I keep tight track of who has flairs, and users might take advise from someone just because they have the most upvotes. Sometimes the most upvoted persons might not be the most accurate. So, sadly, those need to go. Any wway to do that? desktop

Blocked by reputation

Hello, VERY new mod here. Had a post flagged as blocked due to reputation, and the post did request upvotes, which struck me as odd in combination with the warning. This is a small sub (under 100) and I’m so new at this, I thought I’d request a little advice here. Thanks in advance!

Mostly using a desktop MacOS, but saw this on my phone in the Reddit mobile app.

Mod of a different sub won't back up

Every sub has accounts they become familiar with. We have a situation where it is a mod of a different sub. They continue to have their comments removed for breaking the rules. But, because they are a mod we cannot mute the whining and insults about how we mod our sub.

I suppose I do have the option of simply refusing to answer, but I'd really prefer not to have to deal with them anymore. Suggestions? Using Desktop for mod stuff.
