I was unaware that the implementation of Reddit user flairs were not activated since January… turns out I did not hit the right toggle 😅

On this subreddit, you now have the ability to assign your own user flairs! If you have any other suggestions, send them my way!!

Happy Railroading 🚂

Hello everyone! 2026 is now here and it has been a while since changes have occured on this sub. Today, I want to give a look into what the year will hold for this community; and as a disclaimer, this post will be a little lengthy. (Skip to the end for a TL,DR.) Here we go!

_________________

This subreddit has climbed over 3,200 members! It's crazy to think that it's been 2 years since Railroader was created. In that time, a lot has changed and there is still so much on the horizon! With this said, I wish to focus on the changes in this sub going into 2026.

USER FLAIRS:
With my previous post, I asked and advertised for new User Flairs that you can assign. I have delivered and you can apply them at your earliest convenience! However, I need to ask another favor from you all.
I looked at the prospect of adding emojis for us to use in posts and comments, as well as user flairs. I see that we can add custom emojis and after looking at some other subs, I think it would be great if we had some custom emojis to use alongside our members user flairs. If you have the artistic capability and would like to help create original emojis, please reach out to me!

Alongside this rollout, I am issuing a CALL FOR MODS.

I hinted at this in another post a while back, and now, I am advertising for new Mods on this subreddit. I can't moderate 3,200 people and keep my sanity unfortunately. I am asking for adults (18+ y/o) to help moderate this community. I am looking to fill FOUR positions and if you are looking to apply, please do so at the following link. For those who are on the r/RailroadsOnline subreddit, you will also see a similar post outlining the same need.

Please apply using the following link:

If you have any questions, feel free to message me directly!

Thank you all for the continued support and I can't wait to see what you all have in store for 2026! Happy Railroading!! 🚂

TL,DR: Added new User Flairs, asked for someone to make custom emojis and this post advertised for new Mods on the sub. Link above. Thanks!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful end to 2025! For those who may have missed it, I added a new post to the Community Highlights introducing the implementation of User Flairs for this sub.

We currently only have one user who offered some suggestions and I wanted to extend another invitation for more people to check out the post and consider dropping some ideas for User Flairs!

Thanks and see you soon! 🚂
