I wanted to get users for my SaaS on Reddit, but posting manually was a nightmare:
Posts got removed or accounts banned.
Subreddit rules were confusing and inconsistent.
AI-generated posts sounded robotic and often got flagged.
So I decided to build a tool https://www.leadlim.com to fix this. The goal: help SaaS founders grow on Reddit safely.
I built a system that:
Finds high-intent subreddits and analyzes their rules.
Generates AI-written posts that sound human and pass moderation.
Schedules posts at peak engagement times automatically.
It took a few months to tweak the AI and figure out the minimum viable features. But once it worked, I started using it for my own SaaS and then offered it to other founders.
The result?
Reddit growth became predictable and ban-safe.
I started making $4K/month from early users, mostly bootstrapped SaaS founders who needed a safe way to grow.
The lesson: solving a real pain (growing on Reddit safely) with a minimal, working tool can turn into revenue faster than you expect.
Curious: has anyone else built a tool to grow in risky communities like Reddit?
