reddit mod world

A virtual event for mods

OVERVIEW

In its third year, Reddit partnered with NVE Content to bring Mod World 2025 to life as a fully live global event, expanding its reach and strengthening moderator engagement. Framed by a look back at 20 years of Reddit, the experience offered practical insights, broad accessibility, and an authentic space for moderators to connect, learn, and feel genuinely valued—no corporate fluff, just real conversations.

CHALLENGE

Reddit set out to scale Mod World into its most ambitious version yet, aiming to engage over 10,000 moderators across a global, multilingual community. The challenge was to create a fully live virtual event that was expansive, inclusive, accessible, and true to Reddit’s values—delivering real insights without corporate polish. We also honored Reddit’s 20-year milestone by highlighting the evolution of key features, its communities, and the platform’s original lore.

SOLUTION

Partnering closely with Reddit’s internal teams, NVE built a custom live platform centered on celebrating the platform’s 20-year legacy. Transparent, unfiltered conversations, including live sessions with Reddit’s CEO and leadership, fostered trust and meaningful dialogue. The result was a highly engaged, energized moderator community with a strengthened connection to Reddit’s mission.
