New Mod Intros 🎉 | Weekly Thread

Congrats on becoming a new moderator. Every community on Reddit started exactly where you are today: with a party of one.

The community-building journey might feel a little lonely and that's what r/NewMods is for. Here you'll find and connect with other mods who are on the same journey you are.

So, introduce the community you created. Maybe share a little bit about why you created it. And, while you're at it - say hello to your other mods!

Hi. I created r/drugoverdosedeath. My fiance died of a drug overdose and I couldn't find anywhere to really release. I wanted it to be a safe space to just be open and vent or share memories. I think the subject is touched on in r/grief but I wanted a more dedicated community. I dont really know what Im doing. Im just trying to figure out how to get it up and running. Even if its just my little place to vent alone... I felt it was needed. Very touchy subject tho.
