    @feifei_qiu Yes, that's the beauty of reddit. You can login but try to post a comment here and there you got notification, "your post is removed by reddit filter policy." You got permanent ban. Noone can fix it. Your account itself delete from their DB now all you see is cache result. So just use incognito browser..click on your profile link. You'll see yourself. If you want to grow on reddit let me know. I can help you out.

    After reading this I bet marketing your product on Reddit will become 10x easier Most founders use Reddit completely wrong Here's what actually works Stop treating Reddit like a marketing channel People come to Reddit for honest discussions not ads The moment your post feels promotional you've already lost Build trust before asking for attention The founders getting customers from Reddit didn't start by dropping links They spent weeks answering questions sharing experiences and helping people Trust compounds Add value first A good rule from experienced founders 9 helpful contributions : 1 promotional mention If you're always taking and never giving people will ignore you Never force your product into a conversation Mention it only when it genuinely solves someone's problem The best promotion feels like helpful advice not a sales pitch Forget unsolicited DMs People don't like random sales messages Most Reddit users ignore DM requests anyway Let people come to you Use Reddit to understand your customers The biggest value isn't traffic It's learning Read complaints Read feature requests Read what frustrates your target audience You'll get product ideas for free Your profile is your landing page Most customers won't click links in posts They'll click your profile Make sure your profile clearly explains • What you build • Who it's for • Where people can find it Don't fight the moderators Every subreddit has different rules Read them Respect them Breaking rules gets your post removed and hurts your reputation The founders winning on Reddit all do the same thing They answer questions Share postmortems Talk openly about failures Help without expecting anything back People become curious on their own The biggest lesson Reddit isn't about getting thousands of views It's about earning trust And trust turns into profile visits Profile visits turn into conversations Conversations turn into customers That's why Reddit still works in 2026 Not because people sell better Because the best founders barely sell at all

    Publisher in a Box (@publisherinabox) reported

    Reddit is dismantling the walls that kept publishers out. For years, distributing content on Reddit at scale was a grind. Karma thresholds and account-age gates made it one of the hardest platforms to seed content into. Reddit just signaled that is changing. The company is building stronger abuse-prevention systems and says communities could eventually rely less on karma and account age to decide who gets to post. The goal, in Reddit's own words, is to make it easier for genuine new users to participate. The engine behind the shift is Rules Hub, a set of AI moderation tools that uses large language models to read whether a post matches the intent of a community rule instead of leaning on reputation history. It started in 700+ communities. Every new community can test it now, and it goes wide to all communities later this year. Why this matters if you're a publisher: Reddit has 500M+ weekly active users, and on its Q2 call executives said converting those weekly users to daily users is the near-term priority. That means more surfacing, more feed mechanics, more distribution. Reddit also posted $805M in Q2 revenue. This is a company with real resources building itself into a mainstream content platform. As participation barriers come down, niche subreddits become real distribution channels. A finance publisher can contribute in finance communities without farming karma for months first. Multiply that across every vertical and the surface area is large. Worth noting: Reddit's CEO called its search referral traffic "choppy" last quarter, so treat this as an emerging channel to build into, not a settled one. The operator move is to start now. Pick the 5 to 10 subreddits closest to your niche, create accounts, contribute genuinely, learn the culture. When the gates fully drop, you want to already be there. Reddit does not replace Facebook or your website. But for a diversified publishing business running across multiple platforms, it just became a channel worth taking seriously.

    Much discourse on AI writing glosses over the glaring first-order problem: the AI was almost certainly RLHF'd into sounding like a Reddit/LessWrong user by people who do not know how to write very well. *You* can write better than AI if you've had any instruction and really try!

    @Jordi_OSZ The issue isn't how many channels you use. It's knowing where your buyers actually are. X and LinkedIn feel natural because founders live there. But if your customers are on Reddit or niche communities, two platforms is just the same mistake, smaller.

    i can't make this up. some guy named quentin goes viral on reddit for snapping a selfie while his apartment burns down. disaster girl 2.0 energy but this one's real and the coin actually sends creator fees straight to him. he's already claimed once and jumped in the community. launched from like $3K it ran to $146K before pulling back to $53.2K. the story is clean as hell. random dude becomes meme legend and crypto turns it into direct help. i've seen a thousand good cause plays. this one actually hits because the guy knows what's happening and the fees are flowing. smart money picture is messy but the conviction holder matters. one sniper loaded $1.5K at $53.2K mcap with 8.0 hotness and hasn't sold a single token through the whole swing. whales net +$670 overall. KOLs bought one small bag early then took profits on the rip. two positions fully exited but the early conviction wallet is still sitting. CT is accelerating hard. 160 mentions in the last 24h after only 9 the day before. most of the chatter is organic. people posting the reddit link sharing the apartment fire clip then aping because the narrative feels different. not just another dog with hat. this one has a human on the other side collecting the bag. narrative is strong and the wallets that matter haven't tapped out yet. most of CT is still catching up to the reddit virality. this is the kind of weird internet moment that either dies in a week or prints for the guy who lived it. i'm watching what quentin does next. 🔥

    Every belief you have about LinkedIn is costing you money. I'm about to prove it: For context I've ran LinkedIn systems for 100+ B2B founders and $4M+ in tracked revenue. By far the single biggest obstacle in every engagement is the same: founders walk in with a set of beliefs about the platform that are DEAD wrong, and those beliefs are the reason their pipeline is empty. Let me walk you through every one of them. Belief 1: "LinkedIn doesn't work for my niche." LinkedIn has 1 billion users. Your niche is on there. Your buyers are scrolling every morning between 7am and 9am while they drink their coffee. The reason it "doesn't work" is because you posted 6 times in 2022, got 40 likes from your colleagues, and decided the platform was broken. The platform works fine. The strategy didn't exist. Belief 2: "i need a big audience first." 1 of our clients started selling at 200 followers. Booked 3 calls in the first week. Another client closed a $16k deal from a post that got 15 likes. The audience size is irrelevant when the audience COMPOSITION is right. 200 followers who are your exact ICP are worth more than 50,000 followers who are freelancers and students. Belief 3: "content takes too long to produce results." Cold outreach takes 90 days to build a reliable pipeline. Paid ads take 60-90 days to optimise for positive ROAS. LinkedIn content produced measurable inbound calls within 14-21 days for the majority of our clients. The idea that "content is slow" comes from founders who tried it without a system, saw no results for 2 weeks, and quit. The execution was wrong rather than the channel being slow. Belief 4: "i need to go viral to get leads." Going viral is a nice bonus that sits well outside the strategy. The strategy is consistent content that speaks to a specific buyer with a specific problem and a specific offer. One client generates 8-12 inbound calls per week and their average post gets 3,000-5,000 impressions. A quiet, unflashy pipeline machine that runs on 3,000-impression posts because those 3,000 impressions are the RIGHT people. Belief 5: "my ICP isn't on LinkedIn." B2B SaaS founders, agency owners, VPs of marketing, CTOs, and CFOs are all already on LinkedIn. If your buyer holds a title at a company doing $1M+ revenue, they're on there too. The question is whether they're seeing YOUR content or your competitor's. Belief 6: "AI content is slop and everyone can tell." AI content is slop when you use AI like a slot machine. "give me 10 post ideas" produces garbage. Feeding AI five competitor posts, a trending news article, and your ICP's exact language from Reddit threads produces content angles that are BETTER than what 95% of human writers come up with on their own. The input is the problem, far more than the tool. Belief 7: "i should focus on followers, not revenue." Followers are a vanity metric. MRR is a business metric. When I look at a client's LinkedIn account, the follower count means nothing to me. What I care about: how many profile views converted to DMs. How many DMs converted to calls. How many calls converted to clients. A founder with 800 followers and 5 calls/week is beating a founder with 30,000 followers and 0 calls/week in every metric that pays rent. Belief 8: "posting daily is too aggressive." Your competitors are posting daily. Some of them are posting twice. The founders who are printing $30k-$50k/mo from LinkedIn are publishing 7 pieces a week across a mapped content funnel. TOF for reach. MOF for positioning. BOF for conversion. Every piece has a job. The daily cadence is the minimum effective dose for a channel this competitive in 2026. Belief 9: "my profile doesn't matter if my content is good." Your content drives people to your profile. Your profile is where the conversion happens. If your profile has a generic headline, no featured section, and an about section that reads like a resume, every single piece of content you post is sending traffic to a page that loses the lead. We've seen clients DOUBLE their inbound calls by changing nothing except the profile, with the exact same content going out to the exact same audience and landing a completely different conversion rate. Belief 10: "done-for-you content sounds inauthentic." The most viral LinkedIn post in history, 1.4M views and 12,000 comments, was written by a done-for-you team. The reader had no idea. The engagement was organic. Leads were real and the revenue was real. Authenticity comes from the voice match and the strategic depth rather than from whether the founder personally typed the words at 11pm. Every one of these beliefs is a wall between you and the pipeline sitting on the other side of a LinkedIn GTM strategy that works. The founders who dropped these beliefs are the ones booking 2-5 calls a day right now.

  • ddsboston24
    DDSBoston.com (@ddsboston24) reported

    Someone asked me on Reddit the other day, "What’s your favorite sustainable brand that actually has cute clothes?" It’s a question I hear variations of constantly. And honestly, it gets to the heart of the industry’s systemic failure. For too long, "sustainable" has been code for "boring, expensive," or "unfashionable." The implication is that we have to *sacrifice* style for ethics. That’s a false dichotomy. It’s a narrative pushed by brands that can’t actually deliver on both. The truth is, the entire fashion industry is built on a lie of disposability. They churn out trends faster than you can wear them, designed to fall apart so you’ll buy more. This creates mountains of textile waste. We’re talking millions of tons every year. It’s a colossal waste of resources, water, energy, and human labor. And for what? To fill landfills with clothes that were barely worn. That’s not just bad for the planet; it’s fundamentally illogical. It’s a system that benefits no one in the long run except the corporations profiting from perpetual consumption. We founded DDS Boston to reject that. We don’t see sustainability and style as mutually exclusive. We see them as the *only* path forward. The question shouldn’t be "Which sustainable brand is cute?" It should be: "Why aren't *all* brands built this way?" Our approach is rooted in first principles. We start with the material truth. We chose GOTS-certified organic cotton for our core pieces. Why? Because conventional cotton farming is one of the most water-intensive and pesticide-heavy industries on the planet. GOTS certification means it’s grown without harmful chemicals, uses significantly less water, and ensures fair labor practices throughout the supply chain. This isn't a marketing slogan; it's a rigorous standard verified by third-party audits. It’s the baseline. Then there’s our Print-on-Demand model. This is often misunderstood. People see "POD" and think "cheap, low-quality." They're wrong. Our POD partners are vetted for ethical production and quality. More importantly, it means we produce *only* what is ordered. No excess inventory. No overproduction. This directly attacks the waste problem at its source. It’s the antithesis of the fast fashion model. We don’t need to pretend scarcity. We offer intentionality. The "cuteness" comes from understanding the user, yes, but more importantly, understanding the *identity* they’re building. We’re not selling hoodies. We’re selling the uniform for the post-hype builder. For the person who values durability, intentionality, and a clear conscience. That’s a powerful identity. It’s a rejection of disposable culture. It's signaling that you’re part of the solution, not the problem. When you hold our fabric, you feel the difference. It’s the substantial weight, the soft hand-feel of natural fibers, the solid construction. This isn’t about fleeting trends; it’s about pieces that become part of your personal narrative. They’re designed to last, to be worn, to be loved. So, to answer that Reddit question directly: The favorite sustainable brand *is* the one that doesn’t ask you to compromise. The one that interrogates the entire system and builds from the ground up with integrity. The one that proves that ethical production and genuine style are not only compatible but are the future. We’re building that brand. We’re proving it’s possible. You can see the evidence in our Transparency Ledger, where we lay out the real costs of production. It’s all there. Because the biggest flex isn't just looking good; it's knowing how it was made. Check our Transparency Ledger in bio.

    My take on this is that there shouldn't be pages like this allowed on Reddit or Facebook etc. They are full of people advising others on how to game the system rather than genuine advice - which can be sought from official sources. I would empower Ofcom to take action against these sites unless they shut down these pages and 'benefit influencers' on Instagram.

    In July I worked on 13 side projects. In August I want to do less. What July looked like: - created a screen recorder with a built-in editor - shipped updates to Planami. - shipped updates to macliphistory - updated howlaunch, then paused it - pushed updates to yellowcrab ai - built a web encyclopedia for no reason (except that I wanted to) - created 3 macOS extensions to reduce friction - 3 research projects with data analysis (for fun-ish) - calmposter - calm posts scheduling with AI capabilities That's a lot. I'm not sure yet how much of it was progress. Off the products, I restarted posting video and put out 60 posts across Threads, Reddit, LinkedIn and Instagram. I walked a lot. I played boardgames once. I solved health issues. August plan is shorter. Reach $1000 from my side projects. Post on the blog and write about why I build the things I build. What are your plans for August?

    Most Web3 projects still treat KOL marketing and Reddit the wrong way. They buy toolsand pay for premium on different Ai tools forgetting that even Ai is limited and can't track all data , blast DMs, or hire random “influencers” and wonder why nothing converts. Here’s the real problem: 1. KOL Marketing Tools and lists only get you names. They don’t get you: • Real alignment with the right micro/mid KOLs • Content that feels native (not shill) • Long-term relationships that keep working after the campaign ends • Proper tracking of actual community impact instead of vanity metrics Without an expert who has done this for multiple projects, you waste budget on low-engagement posts and silent communities. 2. Reddit Traction AI models and search engines now heavily weight what real people say on Reddit. A strong presence there builds trust that paid ads and polished threads can’t match. But Reddit hates obvious promotion. One wrong approach and the whole sub shuts you down. having provided over 70k plus organic views on Reddit for 1 client in 30day You need careful, value-first seeding, genuine discussion, and community management not spam bots or copy-paste posts. If you’re launching or scaling a Web3 project and want both KOL campaigns and Reddit traction done properly, this is exactly what I help with as a KOL manager and community builder. Drop a 🔥 if you’ve seen campaigns fail because they relied only on tools. Or DM if you want to talk strategy.
