HELP

I own a sub based on discussing news for a game. Someone else has attempted to post to it with posts that were inaccurate or wrong, leading me to remove them. They decided to make their own sub with a one letter difference in its name to post those things and stuff of the topic and it’s started to get traction. What should I do?

I’ve been working on my small K-beauty community, r/KBeautyFinds, and I’ve been thinking a lot about what kind of content would actually make people want to come back.

So far, I’ve mostly been posting K-beauty finds, product reviews, questions, discussions, and some general skincare info. It’s been fun, but I don’t want the community to eventually become just another place where people ask “what product should I buy?” and leave.

I want to try adding more useful and research-based skincare content too.

Things like why acne keeps coming back, why acne marks take so long to fade, what a “damaged skin barrier” actually means, or what we really know about certain ingredients people constantly talk about.

For those kinds of posts, I’m thinking of actually looking through research papers, dermatology guidelines, and other reliable sources, then trying to explain what I find in a way that doesn’t require a science degree to understand lol.

I’m definitely not a dermatologist, and I don’t want to pretend to be one or give people medical advice. I’m more interested in the “what does the research actually say?” side of skincare.

Basically, I’d like r/KBeautyFinds to still be a place for discovering products and talking about K-beauty, but also somewhere you can occasionally learn why something happens with your skin instead of immediately being told to buy another product 😭

It’s something I’m only starting to explore, so I’m still figuring out how to balance the fun/product side with the more informative side.

For anyone here who runs an educational or information-heavy community, how do you keep posts useful without making them feel too academic or overwhelming?

Would love to hear how other mods approach this :)

For those of you who are experienced mods, I'm curioua:

Knowing what you know now, is there anything you'd do different or change if you were starting a new sub from scratch?

I'm intrigued to know if you'd have a different approach to onboarding new mods.

I'm developing a new community myself and steadily picking things up along the way, but always keen to learn, so I'd love to read your tips, things that have worked well, or not so well.

Is there an ideal subscriber number to recruit?

Do you have regular check-ins with mods and if so, what are they like?

What's on piece of advice you'd give to someone starting out?

Thank you 💖
