App settings
Per-community settings: The API credential fields below are entered by each subreddit's moderators and used only for that community. Because Devvit only encrypts app-wide secrets (not per-subreddit settings), these values are visible to the moderators of your subreddit in the settings form. Treat them like any shared moderator credential, and rotate them if your mod team changes.
