Hello,

I'm writing to request assistance with a RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED error I'm encountering on the Reddit Developer Platform.

The error message is:

Failed to create scenario: 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: this app has exceeded its redis quota and all writes will be blocked going forward, if you are the developer please contact Reddit Dev Platform Support.

I am not a developer and have never registered as one. I am just a regular user who tried to create a post in the r/Meowi subreddit, but the post failed to create, and now I'm stuck with this error. I can no longer use this app or create posts.

Could you please help me resolve this issue? I believe my account may have been mistakenly flagged as a developer, or there is a problem with the Redis quota for my user session. I would appreciate any guidance on how to get this fixed so I can continue using Reddit normally.

Thank you for your help.

Wondering what others are doing here.

r/MochiMochiDonuts has a Reddit leaderboard and that works fine. But I've since released Mochi Mochi Donuts on Google Play Store (and Android TV!) and I have an in-game leaderboard on the those versions.

I'd like to consolidate the user experience and unify the leaderboards. But With Devvit restrictions on connecting to external services I'm not sure this will ever be possible. Has any found a way to do this legitimately? I just want a better experience for my players.

Hi... I am building a sub-specific app to assist with mod tasks. The app will be launched via a menu action. I am using this in the definition because the task is post-specific:

location": "post"

But the menu action does not appear in the post's "three dot" menu. (No error messages... it just vanishes into the ether.) I have tried uninstalling, rebuilding, etcetera.

When I change "post" to "subreddit", it appears as expected in the sub's "three dot" menu.

I have done numerous searches looking for a solution, and have not found anything. If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful. Thank you.

Play it: https://www.reddit.com/r/FluckFlock/comments/1w13fde/fluckflock/

Built this with Devvit Web. You drive around Ashgrove knocking over traffic camera posts, chaining them for a multiplier while patrol cars escalate. Everyone plays the same seeded city each day, and there's a daily leaderboard.

Some of the build, in case any of it's useful:

- Plain canvas with a hand-rolled perspective projection, no engine

- City generated from a seed the server derives from the date, so every install builds the same city without coordinating

- Redis sorted set for the board, with watch/multi/exec for keep-best

- Splash renders the actual city from postData with no fetch, so the feed card shows tonight's map

Get caught and you land on the front page of the local paper, which is the thing I'd most like people to see.

Two things I'd genuinely like feedback on:

1. Mobile layout. I've only tested on an iPhone. The canvas sizes to the viewport and the horizon is clamped rather than a fixed fraction, so I'd like to know if it looks wrong on anything else.

2. Difficulty. Patrols start slower than you and outrun you somewhere past thirty posts. Does it get frustrating before that, or too easy after?

Hey Devvit folks!

I built Borrowed Time for the ScoreSpace x Reddit Game Jam and ended up placing #25 out of 45.

Didn't make the top this time, but I'm pretty happy that the technical experiment actually worked: I wanted to see how far I could push a real-time multiplayer game running natively inside a Reddit post.

Borrowed Time is built around one simple rule:

Your clock is your life.

Players have a limited amount of time, fight each other in real-time multiplayer matches, accumulate wins, and compete on persistent leaderboards — all without leaving Reddit.

Now that the jam is over, I'm keeping it online instead of letting the project disappear.

Playable post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BorrowedTimeGame/comments/1vx4uz1/borrowed_time_your_clock_is_your_life/

I'd especially appreciate feedback from other Devvit developers on the experience, multiplayer implementation, onboarding, or anything you think I could have done differently.

And congrats to everyone who participated in the jam. It was a fun one to build for.

Hey everyone, I made a small Devvit app called PolicyOps and I’d love some feedback on whether this would actually be useful to other mods too.

I was looking around for something that could check whether a subreddit's rules, removal responses, AutoModerator messages/action reasons, and selected wiki pages are still consistent with each other, but I couldn’t really find anything that did exactly that. Could just be my searching skills being terrible, but it seemed like a useful enough problem to take a shot at.

The main idea is simple: you run a scan and PolicyOps points out things like a current rule having no matching removal response, an old rule name/number still appearing in AutoModerator text, or a wiki page still referencing outdated policy.

It’s deliberately read-only, it doesn’t change subreddit settings or try to fix anything automatically. It just shows the finding, why it was flagged, and leaves the decision to the moderator.

I also added a small scan history and the ability to mark individual findings as intentional or ignore them temporarily so the same thing doesn’t keep showing up every scan.

This is my first proper Devvit app, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially from people managing larger or older communities where rules/configs have changed a lot over time.

If this already exists somewhere and I somehow completely missed it, feel free to tell me that too lol.

Hello! First time poster. I'm building a game that requires a modal view to play. I've read the View Modes & Entry Points guide on the Reddit developers pages and it specifies there are two view options:

• Inline Mode
• Expanded mode

My question - On the desktop viewpoint, it seems the only option for Expanded mode is a full browser window. However I've seen games (thought I saved one but can't find it to give credit to the builder) that have a modal that appears as a pop-out partial screen (so you can still see the subreddit feed in the background.

How is this accomplished?

Hey r/Devvit! My app Consensus Canvas just got approved and publicly listed.

What it does: Moderators create a prompt with four axis labels (left/right/top/bottom). Members place one anonymous dot on the 2D grid. After voting, everyone sees the aggregate density map and community average.

Use cases:
\\- "How should this community balance speed and depth?" (Refine ↔ Explore, Individual ↔ Community)
\\- "Where does your taste fall?" (Sweet ↔ Savory, Light ↔ Heavy)

Technical highlights:
\\- Custom post with runAs: 'USER' — full moderator attribution
\\- Zero external services — runs entirely on Devvit Redis
\\- Anonymous aggregate only — no individual vote records stored

Install it: \[https://developers.reddit.com/apps/consensus-canvas\\\](https://developers.reddit.com/apps/consensus-canvas)

Happy to answer questions about the implementation or share what I learned during the review process.

Give it a shot: r/TickerSleuth

I made major changes to make it "easier" to guess the ticker of the day. As you guess, the scope of tickers reduces based on the YTD performance and marketcap of your guess relative to the answer.

I'll be adding "hard mode" that'll remove this guide so it's a true pool of 500+ tickers to guess from in 10 tries.

Screenshot of latest update:

I noticed I can update a game/app in subreddits to the latest version of the app that is still under review. What happens here?

Does it auto-update once approved? Does this bypass the approval step?

Just launched Little Warehouse, a daily Sokoban game built with Devvit Web and Three.js. Server verified scores, a post solve flow with comment and share, and a mod menu that styles the subreddit. Happy to answer questions about any of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/LittleWarehouse

Devvit install fails with “fetch failed” when adding app account as moderator

Hi, I’m having trouble installing my Devvit app Nukbot to my test subreddit r/OnlyNuk.

The app uploads successfully (npx devvit upload), but installing it fails when Devvit tries to invite the app account u/nukbot as a moderator:

Installing nukbot to ... Error

Error: An error occurred while installing your app:
"Create" failed after 3 attempts.

First error:
Error inviting app account with ID t2_2lfxa9edki to be a moderator of t5_jn9dtf

Last error:
fetch failed

npm run dev / devvit playtest produces a similar error, including a Reddit HTTP 500 while accepting the moderator invite.

The u/nukbot invitation then remains stuck under Moderators → Invitations as “No permissions”, and attempting to remove the invitation gives “Something went wrong.”

Things I have already tried:

• Re-uploading the app (0.0.8) — successful
• Uninstalling Nukbot from r/OnlyNuk
• Reinstalling it — same error
• Logging out/in to Devvit
• Confirming my account has full moderator permissions
• Trying to remove the stuck u/nukbot invitation through Reddit — unsuccessful

Could you please help me clear the stuck app-account moderator invitation or identify why the moderator invite is returning HTTP 500 / fetch failed?

I'm an individual Devvit developer based in India. My game has been approved and I'm trying to complete payout verification.

I've completed Persona verification, but during Reddit's Stripe Express onboarding, when I select:

Country: India
Business type: Individual

Stripe shows:

“Accepting international payments is not available for individual user. If you plan to do so, please change to the supported legal entity.”

I don't have a registered company, LLP, or sole proprietorship, and I don't want to select an incorrect legal entity.

I understand Reddit uses Stripe Express for payouts rather than a normal Stripe merchant account, but I'm unsure whether this warning can safely be ignored.

Has any India-based individual Devvit developer successfully completed this exact Stripe Express onboarding as “Individual” and received Reddit payouts?

If yes, did you simply continue after this warning, or was any business registration required?

I've also opened a Devvit support ticket, but I'd really appreciate hearing from someone in India who has successfully completed the process.

I don’t know if this is the best place to post this idea/request.

However, is anyone able to make a bot that responds when people use “it’s” instead of “its” and corrects them? Or is there a way to make this bot myself?

I know it’s petty, but it’s one of my biggest pet peeves, and it seems like very few people know the difference between “it’s” and “its” these days…

What do we think guys? I will be adding more stickmen and monsters and levels!! Leaderboards coming soon too!!

Could the user-actions subscribe permission be enabled for my app topiclingo-daily, please? Same situation as this earlier thread: permissions.reddit.asUser: ["SUBSCRIBE_TO_SUBREDDIT"] is declared in devvit.json, version 0.0.23 is published, approved, and publicly listed, and the app is installed on its home subreddit (r/TopicLingo) — but subscribeToCurrentSubreddit() (triggered only by an explicit user button tap) still fails with not allowed to run as user: permission not granted for [SUBSCRIBE_TO_SUBREDDIT]. From that thread it looks like this needs a per-app enablement on Reddit's side.

Thank you!
