Note to Moderators

Subreddits must be older than one month to be added to this list. If your subreddit is still new, you should follow these steps:

• Raerth's guide to starting a new subreddit will help you get started.
• Make sure your subreddit has regular daily submissions, even if they are from the mods.
• Edit your sidebar to tell visitors what your subreddit is for.
• Make yourself a post in r/Music promoting it.
• Announce your subreddit in /r/NewReddits and /r/ShamelessPlug.
• If and only if your subreddit is ALREADY active (more than one month, and lots of links and users), send a modmail to the r/Music moderation team.

There is a private subreddit for music moderators called /r/MusicMods. This will be a place to report spammers and enable communication and cross-promotion between all the subreddits. Check it.
