You’re actually in a good position already — “not salesy yet” is exactly where most Reddit failures start, because they rush the intro before understanding the platform mechanics. Here’s the reality: Reddit doesn’t reject promotion, it rejects unearned promotion. So your intro post structure should not be “tipsy storytelling,” it should be engineered like this: 1. Positioning (authority without hype) You don’t “introduce a product.” You introduce a problem you’ve been working on solving. The framing is: “I’ve been building X while dealing with Y” not “I built X for everyone” This keeps you inside community tolerance thresholds. 2. Narrative hook (why now, why you) Reddit responds to specific origin tension, not generic motivation. You need: constraint (time, money, frustration, workflow gap) decision point (“so I built something simple…”) If this is missing, the post reads like marketing regardless of tone. 3. Proof of effort (not proof of product) Early Reddit audiences don’t care about features — they validate effort signals: screenshots of progress (not polished landing pages) what broke while building what you iterated This is what converts “lurkers → engaged users.” 4. Controlled vulnerability (strategic honesty) You don’t ask for feedback broadly. You direct it: “I’m unsure if I solved X correctly” “I’m debating two approaches to Y” This triggers high-quality engagement instead of passive scrolling. 5. Distribution layer (where most people fail) The post is not the system the system is: pre-warming the account via comments (24–72h) engaging in the target subreddit before posting timing drop when the subreddit is active aggressive first-hour comment handling Without this layer, even a perfect post dies quietly. 6. Link discipline (critical) You don’t lead with links in most subreddits. You: let curiosity pull it or drop it in comments when engagement is already established Posting links upfront is the fastest way to kill organic reach in builder communities. Bottom line: your success on Reddit won’t come from “non-salesy writing,” it comes from controlled narrative + timing + engagement mechanics. Most founders only optimize the writing and ignore the distribution system that’s why they think Reddit “doesn’t work.” If you’re serious about traction, you treat Reddit like a placement system, not a posting platform.

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI Thanks! Not yet honestly, been mostly focused on getting the product right first. But Reddit's definitely on the radar. Any tips on how you'd approach the intro post without it feeling too salesy?

@Signal_3Lives @SafockAI Love that 👌 I’m a Reddit marketer I help founders handle post strategy, content, and comment management in a way that drives real signups & traction (without getting flagged). If you’re serious about scaling this, I can help you set it up and run it properly 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI Would love to learn more !

@Peter_Soida @SafockAI Love it 🫡 When you’re ready to test, focus on value-first posts + early comment engagement —that’s where most people miss it. If you want a clean strategy to get traction without trial & error, I’ve got you 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI clear 🫡

That fear is valid 😅 Reddit can be brutal if the intro feels like a pitch. Best approach? Don’t “launch” tell a story. Share why you built it, the problem, early struggles, and ask for feedback. No hard sell. That’s what gets upvotes instead of backlash. If you want, I can help you craft a safe first post 👌🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI As a reddit denizen since the very beginning, I'm terrified of introducing the wrong way, so I'm still working on the intro.

@SodaNachos @SafockAI Haha facts 😂 r/SideProject is a goldmine if you use it right. If you’re already active there, you’re sitting on traction just double down on build-in-public updates, problem/solution posts & engaging in comments early. That’s usually where the real signups start kicking in 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI Thanks appreciate that - I live in r/sideprojects so much cool stuff in there 🥹

@Peter_Soida @SafockAI Definitely worth trying 👍 When done right, Reddit isn’t just traffic it’s targeted users, honest feedback & early adopters. The key is positioning, not promotion. If you decide to test it, I can help you avoid the common mistakes and get traction faster 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI should try

Great question most don’t allow direct promotion, that’s where strategy comes in 👇 r/startups, r/Entrepreneur, r/SideProject, r/IndieHackers work well but the play isn’t dropping links. It’s value-first posts, build-in-public updates & smart comment positioning. That’s how you get traction without getting flagged. If you want, I can show you how to run it properly 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI A lot of them seem to not allow promotion, which forums do you use?

Love that approach 👏 keeping it fully proprietary builds serious trust. If you’re open to it, Reddit can still complement that nicely not for data scraping, but for distribution. The right communities + authentic storytelling can bring in high-intent users, feedback, and early traction fast 🚀

@TaiTechSolution @SafockAI Of course amongst many others user acquisitions. We are not scraping or gathering data from anywhere else, exclusively proprietary mote

You’re in the right place already 👌From experience, r/startups, r/Entrepreneur, r/SideProject & r/IndieHackers convert best when positioned right not just drops, but story-driven threads, comment seeding & timing. If you ever want to scale it properly, happy to help run it for you 🚀
