[day 32] grinded enough karma
finally posted on r/indiehackers after a week of grinding karma.
it's been a new experience of my life, going through reddit threads and finding something valuable to comment, only to find one random person come and downvote everyone.
after dancing with the karma going up and down, i finally earned enough to post, and it's live now: https://www.reddit.com/r/indiehackers/comments/1t82ti7/made_a_tool_that_remembers_where_your_screenshots/
next targets:
→ hacker news
probably the hardest crowd on the internet to impress + hardest place to earn karma too
→ blogs + seo
because relying only on social reach feels risky long term
slowly learning that distribution is its own full-time job.
i hope i don't burn out doing this.
Grinding karma on Reddit feels like trying to pet a cat that may or may not scratch you back, so props for pushing through. One thing that helped me was treating each platform like its own weird little village and adjusting my tone for each. For HN, I usually share the problem first, tool second. Also, blogging pays off slow but steady, so pacing yourself is key if you don't want to flame out.
yeah pacing is a real struggle. i am scared of buring out tbh.
thanks for the tip about hn. i have like 5 karma there, last i checked it wasn't enough to do a show hn.
