Reddit for App Marketing: How to Post Without Getting Banned
Reddit is the hardest free channel to get right and the highest payoff when you do. Here's the real playbook.
Reddit's spam filters are tuned to catch app promos. Most mods auto-remove anything that smells like marketing. You need a different approach.
Find 5 subreddits
Not r/apps. Actual user subreddits — r/personalfinance if you're a finance app, r/productivity for a to-do app. Read the rules. Lurk for a week before posting.
Write like a user, not a marketer
The story format that works: "I built this because I was frustrated that…" Then the link. Honest, first-person, acknowledge alternatives.
Don't cross-post
Reddit's spam filter flags cross-posted self-promo instantly. Write one deliberate post per subreddit.
