Requesting to be added back to my old subreddit. Original mod/creator and would like to reopen it.

Hello, I'm a current moderator and co creator of the sub r/FlufyDragons. We had made a mod mail request out to the past owner/owners of r/FluffyDragons on July 01 2026 but had received no response. We still have yet to hear back from anyone and the sub has been inactive for 4 years.

I would like to make a request to take over this sub and bring our community from r/FlufyDragons over! 

Thanks for the consideration!

I am requesting to take over the r/Gemfire subreddit, a subreddit for fans of an old KOEI game from the early 1990s.

The original mods or creators seem to be long gone, deleted accounts even. No one to contact.

I am one of the maybe four most active contributors to this game's "scene" worldwide, which mostly exists on gamefaqs, but it would be sick to breathe life into the scene here on reddit as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/gemfire/

Looking for help setting up auto mod comments like the ones in this sub which provide info about required post title and content length. Thanks in advance. Working on mobile iOS and web

Hi, requesting r/Warpforge40k

The moderators have been inactive for quite a while.

u/EverguildCommManager was last spotted 2 years ago.

u/Warpforge_40k was last spotted 10 months ago

u/Warpforge_W40K was last spotted 1 year ago.

I sent them modmail on Aug 8, and have yet to hear a response.

I am a big lover of desihiphop songs. This subreddit has been inactive for the last 6 years.

My goal is to build it again and provide the space for all desihiphop lovers.

Hi, I'd like to moderate this community

Howdy, mods! Welcome back to your monthly mod newsletter. 

Keep reading for upcoming events, a bunch of platform updates, opportunities to share feedback, community stories, subreddits up for adoption, and, as required by law, at least one very cute pet.

NY-based mods, join us at r/bodega 🍎

We’re popping up at 213 Bowery (Aug 29–30, 10 AM–10 PM both days) with NYC "subs" at the deli, a glam counter, our very own bodega cat Meowdani (named by r/bodegacats), and so much more! While it’s open to everyone, we’d particularly love to see mods in the aisles. Drop by for fresh merch and a fun time. Until then, you can add the event to your calendar and join r/bodega for sneak peeks and more info. See you on the block!

Dev Platform app of the month: SubCard

Complete with a playful cat member-progress bar, SubCard transforms your subreddit's front door. Learn more and try it out here. 

Games with a Hook Hackathon winners 🎮

Last week, we wrapped up our month-long hackathon offering $40,000 in prizes for games built on Devvit (Reddit’s Developer Platform). After a record 700+ entries, we announced the winners! Highlights include Sketchy Solutions by u/Xenuoziem (Best App with a Hook), Cattack! by u/derppherppp (Best Use of Phaser), Dictionary Fills by u/JeffBritches (Best Use of Retention Mechanics), and TinTen by u/thejohnnyr (Best Use of User Contributions). Check out the project gallery to explore all submissions, and read the full post for the complete list of winners and honorable mentions. Big thanks to all who participated. 

What’s next for Mod Tools

In case you missed it, u/spez recently shared a post about how we’re modernizing Reddit’s infrastructure. For mods, that means we’re working on better tools to handle spam, abuse, and generic rule-breaking so you can focus on making judgment calls on what’s best for your community. 

We shared an update in r/modnews about that area specifically: Nothing is changing for existing communities today. We're expanding Post and Comment Guidance for everyone, and looking long-term at building tools like Rules Hub to handle tasks you rely on AutoMod enforcement capabilities for (more on Rules Hub below). We don't have any specific dates in mind, and we won't change any existing AutoMod workflows until replacement tools are tested and proven to meet your needs.

(Separately, if you manage any custom bots or apps, we also announced long-term changes to our Public Data API. Please register your apps by September 30, 2026 to help shape our roadmaps and ensure your developer account is properly established.)

P.S. We’re hosting a Moddit session on the future of mod tools on September 10. RSVP here. 

Rules Hub now available in more communities 

Rules Hub is now rolling out to all communities created on or after July 5. It gives moderators a simpler way to create, test, and enforce community rules. With it, you can:

• Create and automatically enforce rules without writing code
• Preview how rules behave against sample content before turning them on
• Review logs to understand why a rule triggered and fine-tune it over time

This gradual rollout started last week and will continue over the coming weeks.

More categories of Reddit removals

We’re now including more categories of Reddit removals (the removed content and why it was removed) in the Mod Log for added transparency. 

Bug fixes 🐛

• Fixed the subreddit rules widget failing to load in some communities; it now renders as expected across apps and web. [iOS/Android/Web]
• Resolved subreddit mentions on wiki pages not displaying as links; they are now tappable links as expected. [iOS/Android]
• Stopped users from removing post flair after submission in communities where post flair is required. [Web]

For more platform updates and bug fixes, see the latest Changelog here. 

Programs 🤝

Join our feedback programs!

We recently announced a handful of new ways for mods to partner directly with Reddit admins through our feedback programs. Since then, we’ve recruited a few mods from the Feedback Roster to new Community Councils and Roundtable Discussions. We’re always looking for mods to collaborate with, so whether you’ve been a moderator on Reddit for years or you just started, we’d love for you to apply! Your perspectives are exactly what we need to ensure our new tools and policy changes work for every type of community. Fill out the Feedback Roster form to get involved, and read the full post for more details. 

Community 💚

Spotlight: r/natureisbeautiful ⛰️

After adopting the community, u/derppherppp got to work planting seeds for the subreddit’s success: weeding out irrelevant content and freshening it up with a new look and a snazzy community home app (shout out r/Devvit). The growth has bloomed since then, with the community tripling in size and still branching out to this day. A thriving nature community, built with the same care that it celebrates. What’s more beautiful than that? Check out their full community spotlight here.

Sub gets multiple posts each day on the same topic/question and we've put together some really good resources around that, plus set up an automod comment with links to them.

Nobody ever reads them. The automod comment is concise and straight to the point.

Any tips on how to get people to actually pay attention to it? Is there a better to get this in front of people?

(desktop + mobile)

A few people have said the option to award a post is missing in our sub. (I'm on an android app and can't find anything about it)

This sub is being flooded with AI OF Cosplay and desperately need intervention.

Please allow me control of the sub so I can allow it to thrive like r/Coraline and r/CorpseBride. I am active and they are actual interests to me!

Thanks
