Hit the Front Page of Tiny Subreddits With 5 Upvotes
Hit the Front Page of Tiny Subreddits With 5 Upvotes is a reddit & forums tactic for getting your first users: Post into very niche, low-traffic subreddits where the upvote threshold to reach the front page is tiny, so a handful of votes gets you maximum visibility.
It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for Niche tools, apps with a clear community. As a reddit & forums play, plan for low effort and expect results to show up quickly, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
