The working Reddit playbook
Use this as the working brief before choosing a thread, writing a reply, or publishing a post.
Safest first move
Define the job of the post: question, lesson, teardown, feedback, or launch update.
Subreddit fit
Start with r/saas, r/startups, r/entrepreneur, r/indiehackers and use the related subreddit list before drafting.
What to post or comment
Rewrite the draft so it helps even without a product link.
What to avoid
Starting with the biggest subreddit. Asking where to promote instead of where the problem belongs. Posting the same launch across several communities.

Use safer replies and founder lessons before trying higher-risk product posts.
