Main Characteristics Of Reddit That Affects Your Posting Directly:
Subreddits-
As we all know, subreddits are nothing but the online communities dedicated to particular subjects on Reddit. They get denoted by /r/ prefixed by the subreddit’s name. For example, if you want to post something related to fitness on Reddit, then you have to look for /r/fitness subreddits on this platform. While posting on this social media site, selecting appropriate subreddit for your post is very critical.
Karma Points-
It’s another most crucial attribute of Reddit. Karma points are the reward points you get whenever users upvote your content on Reddit. It helps you to know how well your content is performing on the platform. Other than this, Karma points also get considered in some of the online communities. For posting on some subreddits, they ask you to have specific karma points. So, if you will have below the demanded range, then you will not be allowed to post.
Reddiquettes-
Yes, you heard it right. The combination of Reddit+etiquettes= Reddiquettes. Every social media hub follows some rules and regulations. That’s very vital for users to follow. You cannot disregard them if you want to gain credibility for your business. Reddit also follows some set of ethics that you should look after inside out. Here’re the three main don’ts for Reddit-
Don’t talk about yourself only-
It is one of the main things you have to look after on Reddit. You are on this platform for your business, but also to make connections. And, connections can’t be built if you’re only self-promoting yourself all the time. You have to provide users with insightful content that can help them to improve in their respective fields.
Don’t submit Irrelevance content-
As we all understand, Reddit is for people who want to come in touch with niche-oriented communities for their business. Also, subreddits play a significant role in categorizing your content according to the relevancy parameter. That’s why the submission of irrelevant content across the subreddits can push Reddit to ban your account.
Don’t overtly plead to users-
Most often, people on Reddit start asking other users to upvote their content. Sorry, but if you’re here to plead overtly, then this is not the right place for you, because Reddit bans the accounts that regularly send comments in subreddits to upvote their content. You have to make your place with good content on Reddit. Besides this, there’s no chance of your surviving on this social media site.
So, these were some of the main attributes that directly affect your content performance on Reddit. Make sure to follow them!
