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

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](url)

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"
