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
