r/MaDDSolutions partners with r/maladaptivedreaming

Sub poised for revival. r/MaDDSolutions was made about a year ago as a place for those wanting to proactively address their Maladaptive Daydreaming to discuss their methods, tips, successes and struggles without sifting through the more general content and questions allowed on r/maladaptivedreaming. Unfortunately it never quite took off. So the Mod there has shifted management to the larger subreddit, hoping a stronger affiliation will breathe life back into this community. We are looking to build a mod team there, we will need people willing to:Build the sub by giving it an identity; a wiki, sidebar, rules, mission statement etcSet pace and tone by providing content in the form of posts and comments.General mod duties of handling reports and ensuring content meets sub guidelines...
