I’m new to Reddit and created a community, but then I deleted my account to change my username. Now I need help regaining access to my community. It doesn’t show up in search, but when I try to recreate the name, it says it already exists. The community was created just yesterday and has no users. Any advice?
You might want to check r/help for specific Reddit issues. Deleting your account was probably not the best move since it also removed your access to the community.
If you still remember the username of your old account, try reaching out to Reddit support. They might be able to help you recover your community.
In the future, make sure to transfer mod powers to your new account before deleting the old one. That way, you maintain control over the community.
Since the community was just created and has no users, it might be easier for Reddit to assist you. Don’t hesitate to contact their support directly.
Good luck! I hope you get your community back. Just remember to keep track of mod powers in the future!
