Subreddit/Source Configuration

For Reddit, you can specify exactly which subreddits to monitor.

Why This Matters

Reddit has thousands of subreddits. Monitoring all of them would flood you with irrelevant leads.

By selecting specific subreddits where your audience hangs out, you get higher quality leads.

Adding Subreddits

Go to Projects → Select your project → Sources tab → Reddit

Click "Add Subreddit" and enter the subreddit name (without the r/).

Managing Subreddits

Checking Activity

Before adding a subreddit, check if it's active. Some niche subreddits only get a few posts per week.

Visit the subreddit on Reddit and look at:

  • Posts per day
  • Engagement (comments, upvotes)
  • Relevance to your product

Removing Subreddits

If a subreddit isn't generating relevant leads, remove it.

Click the X next to any subreddit to remove it.

Subreddit-Specific Rules

Each subreddit has its own rules about self-promotion. Before replying to leads from a subreddit:

  1. Read the subreddit rules (sidebar)
  2. Check if promotional content is allowed
  3. Observe the community tone

Subreddit Limits by Plan

| Plan | Subreddit Limit | |------|-----------------| | Starter | 3 subreddits | | Pro | 15 subreddits | | Agency | Unlimited |

Tips for Subreddit Selection

Start narrow, expand later. Begin with 3-5 highly relevant subreddits. Add more once you understand what works.

Mix sizes. Large subreddits (1M+ members) have more posts but more competition. Small subreddits (10-50k) have fewer posts but less noise.

Check the vibe. Some subreddits are more receptive to product mentions than others. Observe before engaging.
