Ride 'Rising' Posts in Mid-Size Subreddits With Link-Free Comments
Ride 'Rising' Posts in Mid-Size Subreddits With Link-Free Comments is a reddit & forums tactic for getting your first users: Sort by 'Rising' (not Hot or New) in subreddits of 50k-500k members to find posts that just cleared the spam filter and are gaining momentum, then drop a genuinely funny or helpful comment with no link so it rides the post to the front page.
It's a strong fit for teams of almost any kind, and works especially well for Founders comfortable writing native, on-tone comments. As a reddit & forums play, plan for medium effort and expect results to show up quickly, all grounded in 1 linked primary source.
