Before I was trying to push "Slashit App" on reddit.
I stopped using Reddit like a “founder.”
No promo.
No links.
No selling.
I just acted like a normal person.
I commented with:
→ honest feedback
→ real experience
→ what I learned the hard way
→ what worked and what didn’t
That’s it.
And then one comment turned into a post.
That post went viral.
Here’s the part most people miss:
Reddit doesn’t reward “content.”
It rewards contribution.
The moment I stopped trying to grow and started trying to help, people started checking my profile on their own.
No CTA.
No pitch.
No funnel.
Just value first.
As a founder of "Slashit App", this reminded me of something simple:
Platforms don’t hate you.
They hate when you treat them like billboards.
If you’re using Reddit for clients or visibility, start in the comments.
That’s where trust actually begins.
(And yes, one good comment can outperform 10 polished posts.)
We are building: https://www.slashit.app/
This lines up with what I’ve seen too. On conversation-first platforms, trust seems to come from showing up in comments over time, not from posting polished content. The downside is that it doesn’t scale quickly and takes real presence, which isn’t easy for everyone. But the tradeoff feels worth it: fewer interactions, higher signal, and trust that grows naturally instead of being pushed.
thanks for sharing, I’m trying to crack reddit too. and went with that direction. help and give first.
Interesting. I came across the same issue just today.
Reddit thrives on genuine contributions, not flashy promotions. Focus on sharing real insights, and you'll build trust.
I am trying this 🙌
This is such an underrated insight. Great Bro
Thanks man 🙌
