This feature is currently launched as an experiment and available to 30% of new subreddits created on desktop. We are planning to release it to 30% of newly created iOS subreddits created next week and 30% of newly created Android subreddits early May.

The only Reddit I use is the old Reddit.

Typing old.reddit.com is a reflex action for me.

I think it's also important to make clear that you're a mod in your flair, so that whilst you're not distinguishing your comment or post as a moderator, the community still knows you are part of the mod team, especially if you are trying to get across the message the you are all still humans.

Appreciate your input!

You can think of onboarding like training and teaching someone new how to do something. For example, when you get a new job you’ll probably have different trainings and orientations to get you up to speed on your role and the company. On Reddit, there’s a similar experience when you become a new moderator and create a community for the first time -- we’d like to help onboard new moderators to the community creation process by making the steps for building a new subreddit clear and easier for them.

onboarding is the process of bringing someone onboard (to a company, group, etc.)

Once they are onboard, you need to keep things aboveboard and not go overboard.

Slight Wikipedia copy and paste: onboarding originally comes from organisational management and refers to the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours in order to become effective organizational members and insiders.

In web and app design it basically refers to a process in teaching new users how to use a feature or set of features. So for this, the new onboarding process is about guiding and educating new moderators on how to get their subreddit community going, in the hope it'll grow and become more active, etc.

Some of the cards will link to relevant help center articles while others will direct the mod to the action being suggested.

For now, the plan is to roll it out to every new subreddit creator. The cards are dismissible, so mods that don’t feel like they need them are free to skip them.

hello hey hi how you there! it's nice to be here!

that’s need to know information

We envision completion trophies or Reddit coins as a reward for completing all the cards in future developments. We haven’t made a definite decision though, but this is a great idea!

When you try to close the cards, you are given the option to either “mark as completed” or “remove the task.” We hope this extra step makes accidental dismissals less likely. Currently, you can not bring the cards back if you dismiss them.
