There's a place for everyone

rWaysToPBJ mod
Can you share one of the more memorable moments or experiences that you've witnessed as a result of your online community?
 
Moderator • r/WaysToPBJ
 
“My best moment I think was seeing the subreddit I created mentioned elsewhere on a subreddit I moderate. They didn't even realize I was also moderating r/WaysToPBJ so to me, that represented the subreddit finally taking off enough that word of mouth has escaped my mouth, if that makes sense. I'm no longer the only person posting, commenting, or talking about the subreddit elsewhere. At least, not exclusively.”
rNotFoolingAnybody mod
Can you share one of the more memorable moments or experiences that you've witnessed as a result of your online community?
 
Moderator • r/NotFoolingAnybody
 
“The creator of the original blog I based the subreddit around contacted me and thanked me for helping to keep the spirit of their website alive. I was glad that I was able to help revive a dead internet community by introducing new people to the topic through Reddit.”
rLovelyLetters mod
What inspired you to create a community?
 
Moderator • r/LovelyLetters
 
“I was inspired to create r/LovelyLetters after noticing that people were complaining about a certain kind of post in subs like r/handwriting and r/penmanshipporn; people wanted to share the fun, one-off perfect letters that everyone sometimes writes but those didn't really fit those subs. I started r/LovelyLetters to give those posts a home!”
rAskAstronomy mod
If you were to give new moderators tips for growing their subreddit, what might you say to them?
 
Moderator • r/AskAstronomy
 
“I love sharing the interesting questions which we receive, and seeing how experts respond to them. Sometimes the more sci-fi questions start a lively debate!”
rBlunderYears mod
Can you share one of the more memorable moments or experiences that you've witnessed as a result of your online community?
 
Moderator • r/BlunderYears
 
“One of our posts was used by Reddit in an advertisement in New York City. That was really cool.”
rPetDoves mod
Can you share one of the more memorable moments or experiences that you've witnessed as a result of your online community?
 
Moderator • r/PetDoves
 
“I've seen this little community develop in-jokes, and come to each other's aid countless times over the years. It has it's own slang. It has an entire cast of regulars that filter in and out. There are birds I know by name, users I've learned to really appreciate the input of, and It's really grown apart from me. That has genuinely been pretty cool to see.”
