Posted about my site on Reddit and it's gotten over 200 comments within the first couple hours
I posted about my community (www.localSEOcommunity.com) on Reddit, and it has gotten over 200 comments within the first couple hours, and led to a ton of new members in my community.
Here is the Reddit post for anyone interested:

Edit: over 380 comments now 😅
Edit 2: Had over 540 comments before the post was removed by a moderator 😢
Trending on Indie Hackers
Nearly 350 - damn that took off.
Hope you can use it too grow your community!
Yeah, pretty insane! 😅
Removed by the mods. Seems these guys don't like competition :))
That's reddit for you haha
I'm a member 👍👍👍
Happy to have you in the community 🤓
@DavisBaer - are you a local SEO guy? Meaning, is that what you do for a living?
No, I run www.oneupapp.io full time :)
Interesting -- so your app allows the post content to be different per platform? For example, if I want to post the same general content to FB, IG, and Twitter, I may not use hashtags for FB (because they're useless), may use different hashtags between IG & Twitter (because it just makes sense), and use different @ tags because the accounts are not the same across different platforms most of the time.
Can your tool do that?
If so, do you have to use a different tool to research hashtags, or confirm account names on the different platforms?
Yep 😊 When creating a post in OneUp, you will see a "Customize post for each network" button: https://imgur.com/a/rgCeW54
We do not have any hashtag research tool or account name research tool though.
You may have just found yourself a new user/customer.
That has been my gripe all along -- posting on different social platform sucks because every platform has different nuances.
I literally just posted about this problem here on IH somewhere.
Now, how to tackle the hashtag/account name research tool part :)
We would be happy to have you :)
Well played! Surprised you had it there for so long. Mods must had been asleep l like your strategy straight to the point.
Haha maybe!
Must be some slow mods, my posts get deleted in 45 minutes.
Haha maybe
Congrats!
Why did you manually invite vs. posting a link? Also, why was it removed?
Reddit can be extremely hostile to self promotion.
Yep, exactly
Thanks!
The SEO subreddit doesn't allow links in posts, so it wasn't an option.
However, I think everyone commenting that they want to join actually helped, because other people saw the comments and increased the FOMO 10x
ah interesting. Thanks and congrats again :)
Congratulations! This is what you wish for.
Thanks!
You hit a homerun. Best of luck with your community!
Thanks Bryan!
I looked at the Reddit post for a couple of minutes. The count kept going up every few seconds. It's crazy.
Congratulations @DavisBaer!
Thanks! Yeah, it is pretty crazy 😯
That's awesome, congrats.
Thanks!!
Wow, this is huge. I joined your community when you posted here last time and we had a chat regarding Mcafee issue. Congrats on your Reddit success. How many sign ups so far?
Thanks again for your previous help!
About 150 new members so far, but that is still growing because many invites I sent out haven’t been opened yet
Nice design, just one suggestion:
I think you should not check the "I accept the terms of service & privacy policy" by default on the registration page: let your users do it themselves.
I don't know about the laws around you, but that is "technically you accepting for your users" 😅
The community runs on Circle.so so that comes from their end.
I can forward this on to them though :)
Awesome!!!
Thanks Dee!
Update: over 260 comments now!
