The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
Reserve one short weekly block for discovery and one for replies or posts.
Subreddit fit
Start with r/solopreneur, r/indiehackers, r/entrepreneur, r/saas and use the related subreddit list before drafting.
What to post or comment
Turn each accepted thread into one note: problem, phrase, objection, and next action.
What to avoid
Checking Reddit whenever growth feels slow. Saving threads without choosing an action. Writing weekly posts when comments would be safer.
Proof and measurement
Stop the routine when there is no thread fit or the draft needs a product link to work.
