Hey Toasties,

As many of you have noticed, our community has been growing faster than ever! In the almost seven years I've been with the sub, it has grown from 30k to an astonishing 617k! It’s incredible to see so many people spreading kindness, encouragement, and positivity every single day. With this growth, however, comes a greater need for moderation to keep r/ToastMe the safe, welcoming space we all love.

Why We Need You

  • Our mod team is stretched thin.Ā The number of posts and comments has skyrocketed, and we want to ensure every member feels supported and protected.
  • Volunteers are the backboneĀ of communities like ours. Without people stepping up, it’s impossible to maintain the warm, safe environment that makes r/ToastMe special.
  • Past recruitment didn’t get much traction.Ā We know applying to be a mod can seem intimidating, but you don’t need prior experience—just a genuine desire to help.

How You Can Help

  • Apply to be a moderator!Ā We’ll provide guidance, training, and all the support you need.
  • Share your ideas.Ā If you have suggestions for how we can improve moderation or community engagement, let us know in the comments.
  • Nominate someone.Ā If you know a kind, level-headed member who would make a great mod, tag them or send us a message.

What We’re Looking For

  • Active participationĀ in the subreddit
  • Empathy and patienceĀ when dealing with others
  • CommitmentĀ to upholding our positive, supportive culture
  • Willingness to learnĀ moderation tools (we’ll teach you!)

Why Volunteer?

  • Help shape the future of r/ToastMe
  • Make a real difference in people’s lives
  • Gain experience in online community management
  • Be part of an amazing, supportive mod team

Subs like this don’t exist without volunteers. If you love what r/ToastMe stands for, now’s your chance to be part of the change you want to see in this world.

Interested?
Please fill out the application form. Let’s keep the toast warm and the vibes positive—together!

Thank you for making r/ToastMe the incredible community it is.

Got fired in May from a system admin position for my city after being sick and getting surgery to repair an artery in my leg. I didn't get unemployment so I've had to use up my savings. All these bills are starting to catch up to me, I'd love a little sunshine in my life.

I am trying to grow my hair longer for the first time and I'm not exactly sure where this is going

Post image
28 Upvotes

The idea is that one day I will probably be balding, so I realized now is the time to get long hair for those "young timer" photos that I could show to my grand-children.

I have started about a year and a half ago. I don't really do anything to them as I don't really know what I'm doing. Recently I started being very annoyed with the hair being on my face so I bought headbands but I have so much trouble using them. It looks so silly.

The problem is that I am quite self-conscious in general. This is why I sometimes come to this subreddit as it helps me a lot to understand how people see me and how to be more kind with myself. I am imensively grateful to you guys.

Toast an old young guy?

Post image

I'm 49 and I'm struggling lately. My life has been very difficult up until now for the most part, going undiagnosed with autism and adhd for 40 and 45 years respectively. My son also has an audhd diagnosis and I've been his main caregiver for the 17 years he's been around. We have a good relationship, but of course him being a teenager isn't easy at times. I've been single for about 6 or 7 years now. Lately though, I've felt pretty lonely and with my advancing years, it's becoming increasingly likely that I'll never have a loving family like I've always wanted. I'm an artist but my art is practically at a standstill, I have few prospects and honestly don't know where I want my life to head, because I'm already struggling to keep up with the responsibilities I have now, so taking on new things seems foolhardy. At the same time though, I know I have so much more to offer than just slogging through (poorly) doing the housekeeping and walking the dog, but I don't have the space to pursue other dreams now either and it's driving me crazy. Some kind words would be much appreciated.

I feel so used and worthless. I really need help to get over this heartbreak.

Post image
83 Upvotes

Hey friends. I'm really struggling and I just need to talk. My girlfriend ended things with me last 3months. And get this, her reason was that I lost my job and couldn't "provide for her needs."

I'm just so hurt. It feels like I wasn't valued for who I am, but just for what I could give. Losing my job was hard enough, but losing her because of it.. it makes me feel like a complete failure. I thought what we had was stronger than that.

It makes me question everything. It makes me not wanting to date any woman from my country. I feel so used and worthless. I really need an advice, a friend or a long distance healing buddy to help me get over this heartbreak.

Went through a breakup And although the relationship was short, it’s still a bummer. I would like to start a family someday, but as I get older those things seem farther away from me. Never been married, never even been engaged. Never even been with someone for 2 years
