View submission: Saying goodbye to the mobile Mod Feed.
I'm pretty disappointed to see this go, because I do use it all the time.
An example of why it's so useful for me, I like to use it as.. well, a feed. On a sub I mod at like r/NewToReddit, we approve every single post, but sometimes one of us approves the post and then another one of us responds to it later. So let's say they approve it but don't respond, now I scroll through my mod feed seeing a recently approved post and think "Oh, I should check that"
And another nice thing about mod feed is that it's separate from my personal feed. I don't necessarily have myself joined to that community all the time to see it in my main feed, despite being a mod and loving it there, because whenever I wake up each morning there's dozens and dozens of posts already answered (usually explaining karma), so I'd have nothing else to say on the older threads.
That's why mod feed was so helpful, it could be used to quickly see all the latest posts of subs I mod. And yes the unmoderated queue works well, except when a post is approved but not actioned any further so it'd no longer appear in any feed like unmoderated.
I guess it's not the most essential feature to see go, it's not like I mod especially large subs by myself, so not the end of the world. But really, why remove this? I know it's redundant but that doesn't necessarily mean it has to go. I've got two chairs in my room, that's redundant, but isn't it nice to have options and spares? Don't we have other things nobody uses like the "reels" feature on mobile resembling Tik-Tok? Unless anyone actually does use those that is

Thanks for taking the time to explain why mod feed was so useful for you. Everything you detailed makes a lot of sense, and gives our team some ideas for future Mod Queue improvements. By focusing our efforts and eliminating redundancy, we can explore new Mod Queue features that better serve the individual needs of mods like yourself, while reducing the amount of mod interfaces we need to maintain.
