And now, back to your regularly scheduled haunting.

This past October was positively saturated with ghouls, goblins, gremlins, and grizzly specters of all sorts. Not to worry though! Despite being positively saturated with Monster Mashing (AOOOO), we’ve been working our little cotton socks off organizing Mod World 2023, Mod Roadshow, and a whole host of Community Funds projects. There’s a lot to go over this month, so let’s get cracking!

Updates From The Admins

We kicked off October by announcing a new round-up series on /r/modnews: Mod Monthly! In the ides we announced Collectible Expressions, a new type of comment media for Collectible Avatars managed in your subreddit’s Posts and Comments mod tools.

Technically we announced this in November, but it’s kind of a big deal so it bears repeating here: we are once again removing dormant subreddits to free up subreddit names for new communities. If you have questions in the meantime, here’s where to ask. We’ll mention this again in next month’s Snoosletter.

In mid-October, we expanded the rollout of our improvements (that we are still improving) to mobile modmail.

Do you have questions about moderation on Reddit? Our last post in the modosphere was this fresh sticky on how to get mod support in, well, /r/modsupport.

MPT (Mod Pro Tip):

You can view activity levels for your mod team by viewing your team health! In your subreddit’s mod tools, select “Insights” into “Team Health” in the overview tab for a rundown of mod actions and sent & received modmail messages.

Community Interest

Mod Summit is getting a makeover! Mod World 2023, formerly Mod Summit, is happening SOON (December 2nd) and [we want you to (virtually) be there!

Join us on a screen near you for panel discussions, community spotlights, trivia, and more! Learn more about Mod World 2023 and register here!

And that’s not all! Admins from nearly every team at Reddit will be traveling to cities around the globe to meet, chat with, and show our appreciation to our moderators. Mod Roadshow will be LIVE in Denver, Colorado on December 6th to bring IRL to URL. Mod Roadshow is a chance for mods and admins to hang out– no presentations or formal programs. Expect free food and drinks, tons of swag, face time with Reddit employees and fellow mods, as well as a few fun activities. Come join the Mod Roadshow!

The show still isn’t over! The Community Funds team has been hard at work bringing life to your community projects. Check out how we’ve combined forces with /r/nba to match fundraising efforts toward The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, as well as matching /r/vancouver’s fundraising efforts towards the Greater Vancouver Food Bank!

Does your community organize an end-of-year fundraiser? Is your community environmentally-minded? Do you have a community project you want to bring to life? Check out /r/CommunityFunds! We just put out an open call for projects, and if you have questions or want to talk about a potential funds project you can schedule office hours here!

Are you hosting an event with your community? Want to share how good you are at flair, how neat your sidebar looks, celebrate a subscriber milestone with a megathread, or tell us how good you are at showcasing what a mod tool can do? Reach out to us for a feature request here and let us know how you’re building community on Reddit!

Farewell, until next month

We’ll see you all next month, provided the graveyard smash has subsided between now and then. In the meantime, we hope to actually see you all at either the Mod Roadshow: Denver Edition or Mod World 2023! Sign up today!
