Writing workflow

When drafting a Reddit post or comment:

1. Write Reddit-native

Open with the concrete situation in 1-2 lines (what you did, what happened)

Give specific details (numbers, stack, time spent, what you tried)

End with a real question or request for feedback

2. Anti-AI-slop pass (mandatory)

Read the references before finalizing any draft:

./references/stop-slop/phrases.md — words and phrases to remove

./references/stop-slop/structures.md — patterns to avoid

./references/stop-slop/examples.md — before/after calibration

3. Quick checklist

No throat-clearing openers ("Here's the thing", "Let me be clear")

No binary contrast frames ("Not X. Y.")

Active voice, name the actor

Cut adverbs and vague importance claims

No em dashes. Use commas or periods

No "I'd be happy to" or "Great question"

Pre-flight before posting

1. Check subreddit details (ScrapeCreators) for rules and size 2. List flairs (Late) and pick one if required 3. Keep first post in any sub low-risk (text post, no links in first paragraph) 4. Many subreddits require flair — posts without flair get auto-removed 5. New/low-karma accounts get blocked on many subs

Post tracking (optional)

Create a file references/post-history.md to track your posts:

Sub, title, date, score, upvote ratio, comments, status

Review what works vs what gets buried

Don't repeat the same angle in the same sub within 2 weeks

Things to know

ScrapeCreators is read-only (1 credit per request)

Late: no video uploads, no analytics for Reddit

Reddit rules differ by subreddit — always check before posting

No API can guarantee posting success in every subreddit
