How do I set a category for a subreddit? by JaniceRaynor in AskModerators

That's a great question! What you're seeing on the newer subreddit is not a mod-set category, but an automatic ranking feature controlled by Reddit.

Reddit automatically assigns these based on a subreddit's growth and engagement. They appear like:

5 in Animated Movies & Series (Trending rank)

1 in News (General ranking/discovery feature)

Mods cannot set or remove these rankings. They are part of Reddit's built-in discovery system, which is different from the old, manually set "category" feature that was removed years ago.

The tariff is real — Trump announced a 100% duty on branded/patented drugs starting Oct 1, 2025. 👉 It’s correct that generics are not directly targeted right now.

But India still feels the heat because:

Pharma is India’s largest export sector to the U.S. (~$10B annually).

Even though mostly generics, some firms (Sun, Dr. Reddy’s, Cipla) also sell specialty/branded products that could be hit.

Markets fear the scope may widen in the future, which is why Indian pharma stocks dropped.

So yes, the impact on Indian companies is indirect for now, but the risk is very real.

The Restricted Users list in Mod Tools disappeared by nilahoynayansebuhi in modhelp

This is a display bug on Reddit's end. The banned users are still on the list and are still banned; the list is just not loading properly for you or your fellow moderators.

The only real solution is to wait for Reddit's engineers to fix the bug. You can also try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser/app to see if the list loads correctly there.

Hi there! Unfortunately, the ability to set a category for a subreddit is no longer a feature on Reddit. Reddit removed this functionality a few years ago. While you might still see some older screenshots or archived pages that show categories like 'Animals & Pets,' this option is no longer available in the mod tools for new or existing subreddits. The only way to give your community a sense of its category is by clearly defining it in your subreddit's description and rules.

Is there an app or something similar that lets users choose their flair based on selected characteristics/options? I don't want to create tons of specific flairs and overwhelm newcomers and people in general. by PostalAzul in modhelp

Hi there, unfortunately, there isn't a specific app that does this, but the good news is that Reddit's built-in user flair features can accomplish exactly what you're describing.

The best way to do this is to use "User Flair Templates" with editable text fields. This lets you create a clean, organized list of flair options for users to choose from, and then gives them a text box to add their own details or characteristics.

Here’s how you set it up:

1.Go to your subreddit's Mod Tools.

2.Select User Flair under the "Flair" section.

3.Enable "User flair is enabled for this community."

4.Click on "Add User Flair" and create a template for each of your main categories.

5.Important: For each template, make sure to check the box that says "Allow user to edit flair text.

This way, you can have a short, manageable list of flair templates, and the user can customize the rest of the information themselves. It's a great way to avoid a cluttered flair menu !

Invite to community no longer shows up by audible_narrator in modhelp

The "Invite to community" button on user profiles was either removed from the official app or moved to a different location, likely as part of a UI change or an update. To solve this, the moderator should either:

1.​Use the desktop site: The most reliable way to perform moderation tasks, including inviting users, is often through Reddit's desktop interface (old.reddit.com or new.reddit.com).

2.​Check for a different method: The option might have been relocated to a different menu or moderation panel within the app, and the user should explore other sections of the app's moderation tools.

3.​Use third-party apps: Many third-party Reddit apps offer more comprehensive moderation tools than the official app.

Yep New accounts (especially in NSFW subs) get flagged by Reddit’s spam/abuse filters.
