-
Sorta something (@James_Hiler) reported@adamconover @nithyavraman @cd4losangeles calm down reddit.

Jossif (@ElefteriadisJ) reportedMy AEO post came from 30 seconds of research. Not 2 hours. Here's the exact workflow: THE COMMAND Before writing anything, I run /last30days [topic] inside Claude Code. It searches Reddit, X, YouTube, TikTok, HN, Polymarket, and 4 more platforms in parallel. Scores everything by real engagement (upvotes, likes, views). Not publication date. The brief it returns is grounded in what people actually upvoted. Not what an AI guessed. WHY IT WORKS Most tools give you recent. This gives you relevant. A Reddit thread from 3 weeks ago with 800 upvotes ranks higher than a blog post from yesterday. That's how you find what people actually care about. THE OUTPUT (from /last30days aeo) → FAQ schema gives 44% more AI citations → AI traffic converts 25x better than SEO traffic → Organic Google traffic down 20-30% B2B → Most brands haven't started yet That brief became the post. THE LOOP /last30days [topic] → brief in 30s → draft → publish I run this before every content session. Before building anything. Before any pitch. THE INSTALL /plugin marketplace add mvanhorn/last30days-skill 26,000 engineers starred this. What topic would you run it on?

Vlad Nemyrovskyi (@Vlad_Nemyr) reported@NaivaidyaY66600 honestly just going where they already complain about the exact problem you're solving. reddit threads, niche discords, manual outreach. it's painfully slow at first but those early users actually stick around. the grind pays off, keep showing up.
-
Reformed_Bolter (@Reformed_Bolter) reported@vanillabylers @PurpleStarsxo Omg! This was one of the first longer Byler fics I read back in December! I managed to snag a PDF download of it off someone on Reddit after it got taken down earlier this year haha
-
Olami Lekan (@RealOlamius) reported@supercut_video Your branding is honestly better than a lot of projects I see. The product is likely not the problem. The thing is, the right communities haven’t gotten there yet.” “Reddit is good for that because people trust recommendations more than traditional promotion.”
-
Just Your Average Bear (@Jester_Alby13) reported@LijGWAc82jwx9b @lady_valor_07 To be fair, the hurdles are being made by their own. If the tiktok/reddit obsessed weren't so busy trying to one up women or "fight the chuds", the more normal down to earth trans people wouldn't be getting so much flak
-
《jili》 (@jili888888) reported@PnkFlamee fighting for ATOG in the trenches bc whoever made that terrible synopsis really convinced everyone it’s a copy of a short vertical drama when in reality it actually eats! i’d literally go on a full reddit & mydramalist educational tour to clear its name but i’m just too lazy to fight for its life
-
•ᴗ• (@miteirukayuuhi) reportedi really think reddit is the best app ever created, the solution to most of my problems are there

MultiBaggers Capital (@MultiBaggerss) reported🚨I added to $RDDT today. Reddit is down 37% YTD and it’s easily a $200+ stock. 91.5% gross margin. 7 consecutive quarter of 60% sales growth. Out of all US tech companies, only ONE has this full combo at the same time: • 40%+ revenue growth • 30%+ FCF and EBITDA margins • tiny capex • 91.5% gross margin Look, I don’t enjoy buying beaten-down stocks—I’m all-in on AI hardware plays—but $RDDT is straight-up a gold mine here.
-
Accidental Suicide the Clinton Foundation (@truegram) reported@Tectone Its mid tbh. An the rules are thicker then a Bible an are selectively enforced by reddit mods. severs are *** its a 10 year old game that they keep adding stuff to an not optimizing it. Broken metas that make ppl leave they sometimes fix month's later.
-
Anonymous Guy (@HidinDude) reported@GeminiThunder @pureMetatron OK, you're agnostic. Then why are you being a retard and whining about what im saying about this religion ****? You just trying to be a devil's advocate or trying to pretend this is reddit or something? I mean, I thought saying that I think the soul is a good judge of self after we're gone was pretty descriptive on its own. Is there a concept you're struggling with? Did you need that broken down into smaller words?
-
Pasta (@spicyboipasta) reported@BlackDumpling @ednewtonrex Good, I hate reddit; but I understand the issue. If your platform relies on driving traffic by giving users information that can be publicly accessed and therefore readable by AI, you are gonna need to adapt to the times. I honestly can't wait till every single google search is no longer 'X thing I'm looking for reddit'
-
Bartie Musa (@WARMasterBM) reported@downbadcomment Yes your relationship is dead, you killed it when you went against God's order and common sense. You literally allowed another man to enter your woman and now wonder why you're depressed. Goofy a$$. Stop posting on reddit, dump her, move on, and fix your degenerate spirit.
-
! emu (@dailyprotag) reported@lostxhaven I would assume most people would go on tiktok or tumblr🤔 There used to be a community on reddit, but all of the subreddits got taken down
-
Andrew I J (@JrIredale43143) reported@Instacart your names involved too check some reddit issues
-
Porndefender (@Porndefender) reported@Emma_withoutRul @Reddit Can’t you verify yourself to them? I guess that would solve the problem.
-
Dusyant kumar (@Dusyantkmr) reported@Sabbir_Ahmd_ Yeah its very usefull, try to make a content pieces on threads or reddit.. so user get to know and try your saas… show guide how do you solving their problem.. make a carousels , post or create short form content pieces i know its take time but its goona gave your insane results…
-
Saeed Anwar (@saen_dev) reportedThe Reddit/forum mining approach works but the edge is in finding problems where people have already tried and abandoned existing solutions — that's where willingness to pay actually lives.
-
SerialPillock (@SerialPillock) reported@ShitpostGate Reddit has a similarly genius new feature. When Google etc. went to ****, we had to start adding "reddit" to searches to get a human (not journo/empty SEO) answer. Now Reddit has an AI which trawls through the human answers and greets you with a broken robot version ... \o_O/
-
Tech Equity Engineer (@TechEquityEng) reported$RDDT is down today due to fears of Google’s search revamp. We’ve seen this story before. Remember, Ai needs data somehow, and it will funnel from Reddit. According to recent earnings from Reddit, most folks use Ai but use Reddit afterwards to confirm the information they got from Ai.
-
The Professor (@TheProfessorZ) reported@nkwii671 @Kirby0Louise The DirectX error (or whatever) would simply mean the user copy-pastes the error into reddit, only to be told the same thing, just 10 minutes later: their hardware doesn't support the game. What's the benefit, exactly?
-
dr. cenzo (@1trueyapper) reportedonly spurs reddit fanbase would say "this crowd sucks" when a team is down 20 at home and thinks they don't sound like a moron
-
Marcel (@x_DrastiC_x) reportedHey @magnific_ai (@javilopen/@alvaro_cintas), critical bug since May 8 skipped my paid yearly 1k fast gens reset. Reddit promised a fix 15h ago, nothing happened. Checking logs takes 2 mins!. Folder downloads are also broken ('unknown files'), forcing manual clicks. Fix this ??
-
Cyrille (@cyrille_briere) reported@TokenBrice Definitely a killer use case. Instead of witnessing the worst anger on reddit and other forums to find a fix you just get it done and optimized by the agent. Linux should be a no brainer now that you can tweak it and fix it verbally.
-
Supeak (@MKOISupeak) reported@juggerdealer @Drawluks Well if this polish guy has it, and I have it, and you have it, I imagine it's something on the EUW server, though NA was down a few hours ago, they're also complaining about vanguard errors on the riotgames reddit
-
Rotten Raoul's Rants (@RaoulsRants) reportedThe Islamic minority house leader whom I called illiterate ghetto trash just proved me correct for the umpteenth time. When asked what he thought of this Platner candidate's Reddit vulgar messages just being exposed, Hakeem Jeffries said "I haven't seen no posts" English majors such as myself will immediately spot the egregious error known as the DOUBLE NEGATIVE which is actually saying the ghetto trash is saying just the opposite, ie he did see them by subconscious admission. I realize for all of you adoring dnc scab crusts this isn't that much of an error. But for someone who writes at times, this is important.

𝔑𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔫 (@TheNathanNS) reported@IronRiderr >England at the bottom Reddit is down the hall and to the left
-
George Hard R Martin (@maybedevnotkev) reportedThey sent an outside IT guy to fix my computer and he is exactly what you want your IT guy to look and sound like. I’m 80% sure this guy runs a forum and i don’t mean reddit.
-
Robin Alley (@alley_robin_) reported@ChaoticIceQueen Dude, I’m sure you already have moobs because you are so obese. Estrogen won’t do anything for you except give you even more health problems. Eliminate porn and Reddit from your life and seek therapy.

Luka (@lukatofocus) reportedChannel ranking for first revenue: 1) Direct outreach to pre-convicted buyers (highest conversion, highest effort) 2) Reddit/IH threads with specific answers 3) Build in Public updates (compounds slowly) 4) SEO (too slow for urgent first revenue). 6/8
