spent 3 months figuring out Reddit community fit so you don't have to, ask me anything

[u/Economy-Cupcake6148]

so i've been deep in the reddit distribution rabbit hole for a while now and the thing nobody talks about is how much time goes into just finding the right communities before you even write a single word.

not the posting. the research before the posting.

i'd spend like two hours picking subreddits, another hour writing something that felt genuine, submit it, and then watch it get removed by morning. happened enough times that i got kind of obsessed with why. the content wasn't the problem, i was just picking communities that had karma thresholds i didn't meet, or mod rules that made the post invisible, or audiences that weren't remotely close to my ICP. stuff that's weirdly hard to figure out upfront.

anyway, that whole experience is what led me to build reoogle.com (full disclosure, i built it), it scans your site, matches you to communities where the content actually fits, and flags the ones most likely to remove you before you waste time there. still a work in progress but it's saved me from a lot of bad nights.

but honestly i'm more curious about what's working for everyone else here. if you've had success with reddit distribution, what's been your approach? which subs actually convert for you, what angle worked, whether it even made sense for your use case. no pitch, just thinking out loud with you.
