jackins Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 It's been a minute since I've poked my head into the Wilco Metaverse, so pardon me if this is old news. Why is the Wilco Subreddit now private? Also, how do you get an invite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 There is some stuff going on at Reddit and as a protest some sub-reddits went dark and then went private. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freedy Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I came here to ask about it, too. I knew some subreddits went private as part of the protest, but I thought most came back. How does one join a private subreddit? (Not sure what it even means.) It usually seems a good crew of fans over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Quote How to join a private Reddit community? If you want to participate in a private Reddit community and an exclusive subreddit, you should follow the step-by-step process given below. Step 1: Open the website reddit.com in your browser. Step 2: Sign in/log in to your Reddit account by entering your username and the password of the account. Step 3: Once you enter your account, you will see an icon of a “white envelope”. It will be located next to the username (in the upper section and the right-hand corner of the website). Step 4: Click on the envelope icon, which will open up the messages you have on the website. Step 5: Click on the option “send private message”. The button and the option will be placed close to the “inbox” button/tab. Step 6: Now you have to send a message to the moderators of the private subreddit. For that, you need to type in the “to” or receiver field “/r/name of the private subreddit (that you want to join). If you are not aware of the name of the particular private subreddit, you can open it in your web browser and examine its URL link. You will find the name of the private subreddit at the tail-end of the URL. Step 6: Provide a suitable subject line to your message in the “subject” section. Step 7: You can politely describe and explain your message in the message box and tell the moderators (the message will be sent to all the moderators of the subreddit) your reason for joining the particular community. You should place a request to the moderators to invite you to participate. Now click on the “send” button. Now your message has been sent to the moderators of the particular private subreddit. They may or may not approve your request. However, if they approve your request, you will get a message from them. The message will come to your inbox on the Reddit website. If your wish is approved, you will get an invite link from any of the moderators of the private subreddit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViaNewOrleans Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I think the mods are gone pecan. I sent a private message and get nothing in return. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Freedy Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The subreddit seems to be back to normal. Huzzah! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViaNewOrleans Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 thanks just saw that. Posts are still from 90 plus days ago so looks like they need some time to get back in business. Also, FYI, another sub popped up recently and it's pretty good. r/WilcoTheBand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
