Picking subreddits that match your account's history

The communities you post in should feel like a continuation of the account's past - not a hard pivot. Here's how to choose.

Read the account's history first

Before posting anywhere, skim what the account already engaged with. Those themes are your safest starting point.

Move in concentric circles

Expand into adjacent, related communities rather than unrelated ones.

• Start where the account already has karma.
• Add closely related subreddits next.
• Save unrelated niches for much later, if at all.

Respect each community's rules

Every subreddit has its own norms. Lurk before you post, and follow the local etiquette.
