Iām hoping some of you who actually use Reddit successfully for discovery can tell me what Iām missing, because I feel like Iām stuck in a loop š
I really want to use Reddit more because I know it can be a great place to get discovered, but Iām having an incredibly hard time figuring out where Iām actually allowed to post.
It seems like every subreddit I find has a different reason I canāt participate yet. I donāt have enough karma, NSFW/OF profiles arenāt allowed, sellers arenāt allowed, I misunderstand something about the caption/title rules, verification is required, etc.
Iāve been trying to do this the ārightā way by finding a relevant subreddit, carefully reading ALL of its rules, making a post specifically for that community, and then posting. But even after doing that, Iāve had posts removed, and a lot of the time I donāt even know what rule I broke or why it was removed. Iām getting nervous about experimenting because I obviously donāt want to get banned from communities or put my actual Reddit account at risk.
I've tried going the completely non-promotional route and participating normally just to build karma. I posted a random question to AskReddit hoping to get some comment karma/participation going, and even THAT was removed. š
Then I thought, okay, Iāll find a subreddit specifically meant for OnlyFans promotion but it looks like that subreddit was deleted/
Soā¦am I missing something obvious about how creators are supposed to get started on Reddit?
For those of you who successfully use Reddit for discovery:
⢠What subreddits were you actually able to use when you were newer/had low karma?
⢠Are there creator-friendly subreddits that allow people with OF/NSFW profiles to participate, even if the post itself is completely SFW?
⢠How did you initially build enough karma to get into the communities you actually wanted to use?
⢠Is there a better way to find appropriate subreddits than searching, reading every single rule, trying a post, and hoping you interpreted everything correctly?
Iād also genuinely appreciate advice about discovery OUTSIDE of Reddit. I use other social platforms too, but Iām trying to be extremely careful because I know some platforms are not friendly toward adult creators or direct OF promotion. I donāt want to sacrifice an established social account just trying to get more eyes on my content.
Basically, Iām looking for any advice on safely getting discovered as an adult creator without constantly having posts removed, getting kicked out of communities, shadowbanned, or risking my accounts.
Iām absolutely willing to put in the work. I just feel like Iām spending wayyy more time figuring out where Iām allowed to exist than actually promoting. š And when I think I followed all the rules, I still get removed.
Any advice, subreddit recommendations, strategies that worked when you were starting out, or things you wish you had known would be incredibly appreciated. ā¤ļø
