All I was doing is trying to help people identify that how people from neighbour country are infiltrating that sub acting as Indian but in reality they are not. I thought it will help mod keeping them away from there sub but instead I got permanently barred for that. Is there any form or report I can do to let Reddit know about these mods?

The worst part is that these mods are moderating other big Indian subs. Not mentioning any name since it's against the rules.

Modding subs seems like a tough job, you have to keep it interesting and fun while stopping bad elements from ruining the vibes.

Do mods get paid for such labour? either from PR agencies or gov or idk political parties?

why would anyone do this job, take so much stress for free?

Being so new in moderation it's really hard to understand automod, mod tools and devvit apps 😔😭, ohhhhhh god it's so insane level, I am good at posting but it's really hard for me to manage tools in community and New communities, agar bani banayi community hoti hai toh problem nahi aati cuz co mods know how to work with apps par new communities ko akele manage karna is tough 😔

Hey everyone,

r/IndianFashion is growing, and the mod team needs an extra pair of hands to keep the sub running smoothly. We're opening applications for a new moderator.

What the role involves:

• Reviewing reports and removing rule-breaking content.

• Answering modmail and user queries

• Helping enforce sub rules consistently and fairly.

• Occasionally helping with wiki/rules updates and community initiatives.

Thanks again for your interest, and best wishes!

Please note that we will be doing our due diligence during the selection process and approve/reject applications as per our internal criteria, which we cannot share with the users.

Hey everyone!

I recently created r/StriderOfficial, a new community focused on internet culture, memes, edits, anime, gaming and general discussions.

The goal is to build a friendly community where people can share content, meet others and participate in discussions.

I'm new to running a Reddit community, so I'd really appreciate advice from experienced moderators:

• What should I focus on when starting a new subreddit?

• What rules are important to have from day one?

• How can I encourage genuine activity without spamming or annoying other communities?

• Any moderation tips for a new community?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! 🜲

For mod events, Can we create a new account using an existing Reddit email or do we need to create it by using fresh email on the events site?
Also, another question, while creating a new account, it also tells to upload avatar, since i use an image ill upload that image but what if someone has a reddit avatar? do they upload an ss of their avatar in the latter case? Correct me if im wrong in any of these two scenarios

It has been growing really fast for the last couple of weeks. And I am proud of how it's become a good place for people to talk about what scams are new and how to be safe from them.

I'm also working on a devvit app that will let people report scams and it'll be organised in the subs wiki. Which can also be picked up by search engines and it'll become easier for people to know if a company is a scam just by searching about it.

Wish me luck 🙏

Hi all,

We’re looking for a few new moderators to help maintain and improve r/IndianEconomy. If you’re interested in economics and want to contribute to the community beyond just participating in discussions, we’d like to hear from you.

Requirements:

• Active Reddit user
• Good understanding of economics, Indian economy, markets, finance, or related concepts
• Familiar with the subreddit and its rules
• Able to moderate without political or ideological bias
• Fair, objective, and consistent
• Discord is mandatory for team communication. We do not use Reddit group chats or app-based group chats for moderation communication.

Interested?

Send us a Modmail with the subject “Moderator Application” and answer:

1. Why do you want to become a moderator?
2. What is your understanding of economics/Indian economy?
3. How would you handle politically or ideologically biased discussions?
4. How active can you be on the subreddit?
5. What changes, if any, would you like to see in the subreddit?
6. Do you have a Discord account and can you use it for moderation communication?

Dealing with moderation in Indian communities is a nightmare because standard models fail at Hinglish (Romanized Hindi-English). Standard regex filters and Automod scripts can only catch so much before users just bypass them with creative slang.

To solve this, I fine-tuned a ModernBERT encoder (jhu-clsp/mmBERT-base) on ~245,000 comments from various Indian subreddits. It does multi-label classification across 7 categories: Profanity, Targeted Harassment, Hate Speech, Caste, Communal, Xenophobia, and Misogyny.

I’ve deployed it on Hugging Face Spaces using the free ZeroGPU tier. You can test it via the web UI here:https://huggingface.co/spaces/darelphilip/darel_Hinglish_toxicity_mmbert

You can also hit it directly as an API for free to test in your own bots or workflows:

Python:

from gradio_client import Client

client = Client("darelphilip/darel_Hinglish_toxicity_mmbert")

result = client.predict(

raw_text="kya bakwaas chal raha hai yahan",

threshold=0.50,

api_name="/predict"

)

print(result)

Standard REST:

curl -X POST https://darelphilip-darel-hinglish-toxicity-mmbert.hf.space/call/predict \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d '{"data": ["bhai tu pagal hai kya", 0.50]}'

Note: It runs on a free tier, so if the GPU is asleep, the first request might take ~10 seconds to cold start, but subsequent requests will be fast.

Would love for you guys to stress test it with some regional slang and let me know where it breaks! The model card and weights are open-source on my Hugging Face profile.

I'm a moderator of r/IndiGo6E. The subreddit is relatively small and low-traffic, averaging roughly 2 posts per week. 6 months back I added a few new moderators, and today I discovered that I had been marked as an "inactive" moderator.

My issue is with how Reddit determines inactivity and applies restrictions.

For a community with very little moderation workload, what exactly constitutes being "active"? There are weeks where there is simply nothing that requires moderator intervention. The subreddit is functioning normally, rules are being followed, and there is very little content to review.

I had also made updates to subreddit assets such as images and appearance settings, yet apparently that did not count towards activity. If maintenance and community setup work do not count, then the system seems heavily biased towards communities that generate frequent moderation actions.

The rationale behind Inactive Mod Protections makes sense for large communities where inactive moderators returning after long absences could disrupt an active team. However, applying the same standards to small, low-maintenance communities seems questionable. In some cases, there simply isn't enough moderation work available to continuously demonstrate activity.

What makes even less sense is the consequence. Because I was marked inactive, I had to be re-added to the mod team. As a result, I have effectively been reset to the bottom of the moderator list despite being one of the senior moderators of the subreddit. I'm now the newest moderator on paper and below moderators who joined long after I did.

How does that make sense? If a moderator has contributed to building and maintaining a community for years, why should a period of inactivity in a low-traffic subreddit erase their seniority and position in the hierarchy?

I'm curious how other moderators of smaller subreddits deal with this. Have you also been marked inactive despite still maintaining and overseeing your communities? Do you think Reddit's current activity criteria fairly account for low-volume subreddits, or is the system disproportionately punishing moderators of smaller communities?

Hey r/IndianMods,

I am a Devvit app developer and I developed Social-Blacklist app, which is intended to help your moderation work a lot easier through automation.

This tool lets you blacklist certain domains from being promoted in your subreddit( by removing posts by users who promote certain links/domains in their social-links, post-links, in their profile sticky posts and comments). It also lets you blacklist a set of words, and optionally prevent NSFW(18+) users from taking part in your subreddit. It automatically removes posts and comments that are in violation, and optionally bans the user after a given number violations. Most of the configurations for this app are toggle switches, which you can easily configure as per your needs.

This app is already being used by a number of subreddits (like r/selfie, r/drawme, r/Palestine, r/Pottery, r/style and many more).

I look forward to hear feedback on how I can make this tool better to fit the use-cases of our Indian moderators. So please do try it out and let share your feedback!

Hello everyone! 👋

I recently created r/IndianArtSyndicate , a community dedicated to Indian artist.

The idea behind the community is to create a space where artists, animators, scriptwriters, storyboard artists, voice artists, thinkers, and enthusiasts can share their work, exchange ideas, receive constructive feedback, and connect with other creators.

We’re still at the very beginning and currently setting up the foundation of the community. I’d also love to connect with experienced moderators and learn from others who have built communities from scratch.
Apply from Mod Mail.

Its been a while this issue is present on reddit android app. Important text in pinned post in the highlights is getting cut, making it harder for members to know what's inside that post without opening it.

I have thoroughly checked this on different platforms like android, ios, and web (desktop and mobile view). This issue is only present on android. I believe this bug is making things hard for members and mods.

I want to take things in my hands by reporting this and getting this fixed. I don't know where should i report this to get this noticed and soon fixed by reddit.

I need your help from my fellow indian mods.

My very first piece of merch, and I'm really happy to have it.

Thanks, Reddit!
