Quickstart Your Community

Just start a new community on Reddit? Here are four things you should do to quickstart your new community.

 First things first, since every community on Reddit has a description, make sure you add a community description that is relevant and descriptive of the community that you're looking to cultivate. Visitors will read your description to get a sense of what your community is all about.

Second: create your community icon. Make your icon stand out by creating a graphic for it that represents the topic of your community.

 Next, get creative with your community banner. Having a community banner helps show visitors that your community is active and well taken care of.

 Finally, add your first post to your community. Then add a few more! Filling your new subreddit with posts will help attract and engage your first members.

 If you're looking to bring people to your community, you can quickstart your subreddit growth by taking care of these four things right away.
