Quick results from creating a reddit group...

So I had this thought from a discussion with @lawrencestewart about being banned from a reddit sub. I was thinking what if you made your own reddit sub - how hard is it and what would the results look like?

It turns out not to be hard if you have enough karma - being a reddit user already that was no problem for me.

The next biggest issue seemed to be seeding the sub with some initial content. It seems that most subs start with question threads that people can add to. So I thought up 2 and pinned it to the top. I started with my own real experience so others could also add if they felt up to it. There are also reddit subs that track new reddit subs so I cross posted a few over there.

After 1 day it grew to 11 members - that means 11 other people joined so they will see new content in their reddit feed and seem to want to know more about the sub. So I think as a quick test this is a helpful way to engage folks on a topic you are working on but it needs to be genuine and non-spammy in accordance with what reddit folks expect.

Here's the sub I created for anyone who wants to take a look:
