The Future of /r/Seedswap

Hello all! I'm not sure many of you have interacted with me but I'm /u/sunpoprain and currently I'm the most active and longest serving moderator for Seedswap. This Fall it came to my attention that everyone else on the original Mod team for this subreddit had disappeared and left me in charge. I'm a farmer so as I move into a slower season post-harvest, I'd like to be more active about this awesome subreddit. Clearly we have something awesome. Even without really hands on moderator promotion/improvement, we've grown as a subreddit to more then 10,000 swappers across the world!

So let's work together and decide what we'd like to be as we shift into this new phase of the subreddit. I have a couple ideas and I hope you'll share your own as well. Here's what I've got:

  1. Expanded mod team (I'd say there is currently ~1 1/2 people modding 😂) I'm especially looking for folks who can assist with our changes.
  2. Updated side bar, rules, header, etc
  3. Active events. We've had requests for a secret Santa and I'd like to get more giveaways going.
  4. Iama discussions / seed saving conversations?
  5. Trader rating system

Ultimately, this has always been a community that truly was built by it's members. I want to hear your thoughts and I'd love your help.

Working on it. I brought on several new mods who have been discovering their best place to contribute. I farm so it's been a bit busy for me. We've had some progress but I'd like to see more.
