I built a tool to help founders grow on Reddit without getting banned or wasting months figuring it out.

Backstory: I tried building 2 projects before. Zero sales.
I thought I’d use Reddit for marketing. Instead, I got banned 6 times.
No traffic, no growth, just frustration...

But over time, I started to get it. I learned how each subreddit works, what kind of posts actually land, how to blend in while still driving traffic. Slowly it clicked.
I went from bans to thousands of visitors from a single post.

That’s when I realized: other founders were struggling with the same things. They told me things like:
“I don’t know what to post.”
“I don’t know where to post.”
“I start, then disappear.”

So I built MediaFa.st

What it does today is simple:

  • Gives you a clear roadmap of when, where, and what to post on Reddit.

  • Suggests whether you should go direct with links or use a storytelling approach that makes people ask.

  • Helps with post scheduling, karma tracking, and even expands to LinkedIn so you don’t miss opportunities outside Reddit.

  • Keeps it safe and native, no scraping or shady automations.

Where we are now:

  • $1.5k+ MRR and almost $9k ARR.

  • Around $1.7k MRR in the last 3 months.

  • Dozens of founders using it daily.

  • Still solo and fully bootstrapped, but growing every month.

It feels like we’re solving a real problem: helping founders finally make Reddit work for them instead of fighting it.

👉 If you’ve struggled with Reddit marketing and growth, try MediaFa.st. I’d love your feedback!

    Why is this product posted multiple times?

    This really resonates. Reddit can feel like a black box — one wrong move and you’re banned. The fact that you turned that pain into mediaFa.st and already hit $1.5k MRR solo is huge 👏. Love that you’re focusing on safe, native growth instead of shady hacks. Curious — do you see more success with storytelling-style posts vs. direct links?

    Congrats on getting traction Reddit is such a tricky channel to crack and most people underestimate how unforgiving it can be your tool sounds like it takes away a lot of the trial and error I’m curious how you balance giving people structure without their posts starting to feel formulaic since authenticity is everything there

    This is super impressive! Reddit is tough to crack, and the fact you turned repeated bans into a working system shows real persistence. Mediafa sounds like a game-changer for founders trying to grow without spamming. Congrats on hitting steady MRR excited to see where you take it next!
