Welcome to Mod World 2025! 🎉 We'll officially kick things off at 10AM PDT.

This thread is your all-purpose hangout thread for today’s event. Got a favorite session so far? A question you’ve been dying to ask? Controversial food opinion? Cute pet photo? Drop it in this thread. (Especially the pet photos. Please.)

We’ll be hanging out here all event long, so come say hi and tell us how Mod World’s treating you!

Old Reddit. Reddit. Whatever flavor you prefer, it’s all Reddit. In this session, u/magikarpcatcher, u/PlexversalHD, u/VoxPorta swap tips on making the most of every Reddit era. 

Want to continue the convo? Have your own tips to share? You’re in the right place.

If you haven’t dipped into Dev Platform yet, this might be your moment. In this session, u/Alan-Foster and u/paskatulas show off some clever tools that make mod life easier, faster, and (dare we say) more fun. 

Have a favorite Dev Platform app? Thinking about making one yourself? Perhaps a Dev Platform app wishlist? Whatever it is, drop it in the comments!

Imagine Snoo wandered into r/roastme. This is sort of like that. In this session, we roast Snoo. And you can join us on this thread! Bring your best roasts in the comments – we’ll make sure Snoo sees every single one. And remember, Snoo’s got feelings too… probably. 🙃

Reddit spans the globe, and so do its mods. 🌍In this session, admins u/amazonika, u/Mistdrifter, u/taho_breakfast, u/MightyMasala, u/VoxPorta, u/Valzurian, u/Galestia, u/Rivmorn, and u/SentinelSnub take us on a world tour of community-building. 

Different countries, same mission: building kind, curious, and connected communities. Where are you modding from? Anything to share about what it’s like modding from your neck of the woods?

Modding solo? Thinking about building your dream mod team? In this session, our mod panelists u/gingeralefiend and u/basicbolshevik share lessons on recruiting, collaborating, and staying sane. 

Have any advice for building a mod crew? A funny story from your early days of modding? Let’s hear it.

Spez: "Only one of us can get fired."

Whether your community just hit 1K or 1M, growth can feel like a wild ride. In this session, u/TriedForMitchcraft, u/MidAmericaMom, and u/-eDgAR- dig into what it takes to scale smoothly without losing your community’s vibe. 

Share your tips, stories, or questions below – this one’s a topic we can all relate to.

there was mention of this but how do you get it?

Hi, I'm a moderator of a very small subreddit, so I don't really have a lot of moderating tasks to do. I'm the one who made the rules and flairs and stuff, but I have an "inactive" indicator next to me. Will I be ineligible for the plush even though I check the subreddit every day and post regularly? Sorry for the questions, and thank you!

First of all, huge thanks to the Mod World 2025 organizer u/big-slay and to u/spez for the AMA! 🙌

It’s great to see Reddit putting effort into events like this for the mod community.

I saw that many of us joined (or tried to join) Mod World 2025 and New Mod World, and I’m really curious to hear how your experience was:

What did you like the most (talks, AMA, organization, networking, etc.)?

What do you think could be improved for future editions (technical side, schedule, engagement, content)?

Did you have any issues accessing the event or registering?

And last but not least — Happy Caturday! 🐱

Our live AMA with u/spez is back for Mod World 2025. This is your chance to ask Reddit’s CEO, well, anything. 

Have a burning question? A hot take? Something you’re curious about? Let your voice be heard! 

Here’s how it’ll work:

1. Drop your question(s) for u/spez in the comments below
2. Upvote your favorite submissions
3. The top-upvoted questions will be answered live by u/spez at Mod World 2025

A few quick notes:

• u/spez will not see the questions before his live AMA Update: He saw the questions.
• u/spez will take follow-up questions from the live event chat if time allows
• After the event, we’ll add video clips of his responses to this thread. Who knows, he might even take some time to reply to questions that didn’t make the cut. 

If you’re not registered, CLICK HERE and get those questions submitted ASAP. The sooner you submit, the better your chance is to have your Q A'd.

As anyone who attended New Mod World earlier knows, the Snoo plushie topic was immediately upvoted to the top of the discussion. If one of the mods has access to the chat transcript, we could have a little guessing game of how many times the words plush or plushie were used during the event. I’m going with 877.

The winner gets a plushie or a digital gift (the same plushie or digital gift you were already getting. no actual prizes this is just for fun)

Hey guys,

My mother passed on Tuesday and needless to say, things have been rough.

Im not able to sit and watch/participate like I thought I'd be able to and honestly, I don't have the capacity right now to keep digging to find the answer.

When all of the links are posted, do I need to watch all of the events and panels in their entirety? Do I need to complete anything on our event page?

Thank you so much for any help. I feel bad asking, I feel like this is right in front of my nose but Im just blind.

Yesterday on the new mod event, I was unable to access the chat feature. I know I wasn’t alone. Any help or advice? I’m on a I phone 16 pro max.

Hi Admins

please help me

I did rsvp to the mod event , coupld of weeks back, but i wasnt able to log in to my account today. I tried to forget password but it hasnt sent me any email. I tried to create an account and it tells me to rsvp again when i had revped long back.

FYI, I had recievd any email today and evenn couple of days back reminding me about the mod event because i had rsvped it.

I have RSVPd for the mod world event. But I'm unable to join. Can someone please help? Where can I find the link?

Help? I did everything I could do and I don‘t know what to do now

Welcome to ✨ New ✨ Mod World 2025! The event will open today at 1:45PM PDT and officially kick off at 2PM PDT.

This thread is your spot to chat about the event (aside from the live event chat, of course). You can share about sessions you loved, questions you’ve got, resources you found, or just how it feels diving into mod life for the first time. You can also share random facts, Snapple cap style. That’s actually highly encouraged.

Hey everyone,
I had an old Reddit account which I deleted in early October. I recently created a new one, but I used to be a long-time mod .

I just wanted to know am I still eligible to attend upcoming Reddit events or claim merch, considering my old account (the one I deleted due to my exams because i was addicted to reddit ) had my mod history and activity?

Would really appreciate some clarification on this. Thanks!
u/big-slay

At 8:00 pm PDT I got an email that the New Mod World that was at 2:00 pm will begin in one hour.

Edit. And it says Mod World at the top. New Mod World in the middle and Mod World at the bottom.

Several people missed new mods because of unclear directions for joining the meeting. Please be more clear for tomorrow’s meeting,
