They decrease amount of, ah, AI bots at maximum. And, eh, you should post all the data manually. But, you can, ah, copy-paste our data that we suggest to post and, eh, just post it manually. So, this way it will work really good. How to connect your Reddit account? Press on a button, Connect. Here you can find, Next button, press Allow.

But, before acting, you have some posts already, but, before acting, you should press on a Account Health. It's very It might take some time to analyze your Reddit account, but, let me show you a ready one. So, finally, you will see such a page, where you can see your score and the status is warming. That means that you shouldn't start. Start direct posting on Reddit. If you would do so, your account, will be restricted and, users on, platform will comment like, you promote your application and something like that. So we strongly recommend start with a non-direct, promotion of your application and just posting and answering, data which is not connected with your product directly. It should be connected, in some in your industry directory, in your, industry problems, or how to solve it, but do not put, like, name of your product, and etc. It's very important, otherwise your account will be restricted. So, but how to users will find you? You should, put, good bio, so, description, like me. I put, like, building HeyCatch, and I grew the system for solo founders, and ex-agency, founder. So, etc. You can put your company name here, and, what are you doing, and what is the goal of doing it. Just analyze everything carefully and follow this plan. And, here you can find Reddit rules. It's also very important to follow, Reddit rules because every Reddit has own rules. If you don't follow it, your account will be restricted. So, Reddit is a really great platform where you can find where you users who, tries to find some solutions and et cetera. And AI like Cloud, GPT, scrap a lot of data from Reddit because on a Reddit, people post a lot of really good solutions, but to start getting users from it, you need to have a strong account. So, and, start just posting, basic data and, general data about, about your project, about your industry. Don't pull, don't, don't share information at the beginning about your project, but everything depends on your account audit. So based on my account, stars, I do not, it's not, it's not a good idea for me also to start posting information about, HeyCatch and Reddit right now. So I should start, warming it and only after that posting, project data. So, here you can find some replies and, you can choose some warm-up, soft-sell, promo, operational, type of reply. You can press on rewrite. You have, five attempts. And yeah, here you can find, Reddit rules. For this, for this subreddit. And, okay, so, it's my, it's not my main browser, that's why it restricts me. So, Reddit is really good. But, they are very strict, so. And, what else, we also recommend to review ActiveKeywords in subreddits. What is it? ActiveKeywords is, ActiveKeywords, that means, what data we gonna use when we find a relevant, subreddits for you and X, posts. And, it's, If you know your, subreddit, or keywords better, just remove something and just edit. So, I will, Our platform will follow this, and, next iteration, our platform will share with you relevant data. So, if you know some, some, relevant subreddits, you can just also add them. Here you can find a suggested from our platform. And every day you have like, from, two to five, replies in posts. So, we strongly recommend you to start, posts really, basic content and reply, with, general content. Do not start selling your product directly. So, only after, Some weeks or months, you can start doing it, because it's a long-term game and, we strongly recommend to, use Reddit, because it's an awesome source, but you need to warm up your account.
