Subreddit Growth and Promotion

Click on a user's name to bring up their profile. Look for their name on the top left corner, looks like: "`u/username ->]`". Click on that and there will be a drop-down list of the communities you can invite them to.

Invites on mobile

Click on the user's profile, look for the mini, half-screen pop-up with a brief overview on their profile. "Invite to community" is at the bottom.

Search Results

If you're asking about why your subreddit doesn't show up in **search results**: Subreddits do not show up in Reddit's search results until they have reached a minimum age, and have a minimum number of subscribers. The exact values for these minimums are known only to the Reddit Admins. Google's search engines have their own algorithms that determine how whether a subreddit shows up, likely depends on how many other websites mention the subreddit.

See who joined your subreddit

"Can I see who joined my subreddit?[9]" No, that information is private.

Approving users for Private/Restricted Subs

Only approved users[10] can view or edit a Private Subreddit. Restricted subs can approve users to post/comment. See community types, what it means and how to change it[11] on r/modguide.

Getting users to post

Subreddits take time to grow and users may not post. To encourage posting, fill your subreddit with SEED CONTENT. Please read "10 important points of community-building advice for new mods[12]", pinned in this subreddit and also in ModHelp's FAQ Collection[13].

Please remember that subreddit configuration should be done in a cache-cleared **desktop browser**, not on mobile or via the app, for best results. *(Limited stopgap: mobile browser on desktop view.)*
