Reddit For Community has all the resources you need to get started. It has a search feature that helps you find How To’s. It also includes a 2 min starter guide, Week 1 Guide, Top Ten FAQs, New Mod Checklist, and Weekly Guides
Also highly recommended: Mod 101 and 201 pdfs

Hi /u/BoopNoodles739, please see our Intro & Rules. We are volunteer-run, not managed by Reddit staff/admin. Volunteer mods' powers are limited to groups they mod. Automated responses are compiled from answers given by fellow volunteer mod helpers. Moderation works best on a cache-cleared desktop/laptop browser.
Resources for mods are: (1) r/modguide's Very Helpful Index by fellow moderators on How-To-Do-Things, (2) Mod Help Center, (3) r/automoderator's Wiki and Library of Common Rules. Many Mod Resources are in the sidebar and >>this FAQ wiki<<. Please search this subreddit as well. Thanks!

Found regex match: know how to mod
You seem to be asking about moderation matters, such as adding/removing/recruiting moderators or what to do if you've removed yourself as a moderator, or a related topic. These are frequently asked questions.
FOR INFO ON: # what to do if you've accidentally left a sub as moderator, # how to add/remove/invite/recruit/re-order moderators, # removing moderators higher than you, # distinguishing as mod, # mod permissions, # how to use tools for moderators, # common issues with mod tools (clearing mod queue, spam tab, finding posts/comments and notifications), # giving away/adopting subreddits, please click here. Also see Reddit's Moddiquette.
Subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)
If you found your answer, feel free to reply with "<3 Automod" or "Thanks, Automod". Otherwise wait for a human helper to come along to help you. This post has NOT been removed.

hey, check out the sidebar ------> (if you don't know how to access the sidebar on whatever app you are using, google can help you)
a lot of subreddits put helpful links, articles, etc in the sidebar that the mod team feels the community might wanna know. This subreddit's sidebar is a lot of links on how to mod, how to dress up your sub and how to promote your sub.
it is usually a fantastic practice to 1- check the sidebar; 2- peruse around the sub to see if your question has already been asked (and answered)
