Core Rules

| Rule | Practice | |------|----------| | 90/10 principle | 90% value, 10% promotional | | Self-promotion | Max 1 in 6 posts promotional | | Subreddit rules | Always check sidebar before posting | | Flair | Required by many subs; wrong flair = removal | | Title format | Some subs require [tags]; check top posts |

Post Structure

Title

Concise, specific, accurate--no clickbait

Match subreddit format (e.g., [Discussion], [Question])

Factual; save opinions for body/comments

Body

Value-first: Lead with help, insight, or story

Casual, friendly tone--like talking to a friend

Engagement: Open-ended questions, invite discussion

Formatting: Markdown supported; use lists, headers for readability

Content Types

| Type | Use | |------|-----| | Experience sharing | Highest engagement; authentic stories | | Q&A | Build trust; answer questions | | Case study | Product value; must be transparent | | Tool recommendation | Context + honest pros/cons |

Algorithm Factors

Upvote/downvote ratio matters more than raw score

Early engagement weighs more; post at peak hours

Karma: 100-1000+ recommended before promotional posts

Author interaction: Reply to comments; boosts ranking

Formatting (Markdown)

Bold: text

Italic: *text*

Lists: - or 1.

Links: text

Output Format

When generating Reddit copy, provide:

1. Title (subreddit-appropriate) 2. Body (value-driven, formatted) 3. Suggested flair (if known) 4. Subreddit reminder: "Verify rules before posting"
