\ud83d\udccc About the Event<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Reddit Mod Tools and Migrated Apps Hackathon<\/strong> is a global virtual developer challenge designed to evolve how communities are managed. Reddit is shifting its automation ecosystem from the older Data API to Devvit<\/strong> (Reddit\u2019s Developer Platform).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hackathon incentivizes developers to build high-stability, easy-to-install apps that live directly within the Reddit ecosystem. Whether you are creating a brand-new moderation utility or “porting” (migrating) a legacy bot to the new platform, this is a direct opportunity to influence the tools used by millions of moderators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
