Find your niche, and build with your community members. Every community is different, and your users will let you know what they like through their votes, contributions, and feedback. The third challenge in this series is about finding what works to keep up the momentum in your community, and sharing your knowledge! 

You can earn your 💎 100+ Visitors Champion flair by:

• Completing the 10/10 Mod Star Challenge
• Growing your community to 100 visitors or more. See 5 Tips for Growing Your Subreddit for more advice on how to do this.
  • One of the best ways to do this is to search for your topic in the Search bar. Filter to posts made in the last month. Find a relevant post about your topic, and comment on that post, asking the OP if they'd be open to sharing their post in your community.
• Answering three questions posted in r/NewMods 
• Making a post in r/NewMods sharing how you grew your community. Suggested title, “How I grew my community r/SubredditName”.
