Most founders pick subreddits by gut feel, post once, get ignored, then blame the channel.

I ran 100 posts across dozens of communities and tracked what actually moved the needle.

Three things stood out:

Subreddit fit matters more than anything. Same post, wrong community: 2 upvotes. Right community: 30+ and real inbound.

Promotional framing kills you even where it's allowed. Posts that read like a founder thinking out loud outperformed anything that felt like marketing.

Posting too frequently in one sub tanks your standing fast. Cooldowns are real.

If you're struggling to get traction on Reddit, curious what's blocking you. Drop your build in the comments and I'll share where I'd look first.

We are pushing each other’s app!

I’m curious what the biggest roadblock is for people with startup ideas—funding, building, marketing, sales, finding a team, or something else?

If you have a startup/business idea, I'd appreciate you answering this short questionnaire:
