Reddit launch playbook
Before you post on r/SideProject.
Reddit will click every link, roast slow sites, and flag missing privacy policies. A five-minute clearance scan beats a hundred comment thread disasters.
Before posting
Survive the click-through
- Mobile layout — no horizontal scroll on landing
- Privacy policy and terms reachable (not 404)
- Signup flow works without console errors
Post draft
Trust signals
- HTTPS + valid TLS, no mixed content warnings
- Contact or support path visible
- Security headers present (CSP, HSTS where applicable)
After traction
Stay up
- Enable monitor — Reddit spikes can expose rate limit gaps
- Re-scan if you ship a hotfix during the thread
