Coming from GummySearch? It's winding down — here's how to bring your workflow over.
Migration guide →A field guide to growing on Reddit in 2026
In late 2025 Reddit shut the door on self-serve posting bots. Accounts that pitch on rails now get flagged and banned within days. The only way left to grow here is the way that always actually worked: show up in a community as someone who belongs. LeadReddit reads the room and the people in it — closely enough to tell you where you can help, and how to sound like you've been there all along.

How we read a thread
Take a typical thread. Most tools see a keyword match. We see two things they can't — the community you're walking into, and the person who actually posted.
BambooHR vs Gusto vs others — what do you actually use?
Budget's approved, team of 30, mostly remote. Just need to pick one before end of quarter.
What we see in this sub →
Soft mentions OK if you disclose. Locals talk like this:
They downvote: "Hope this helps!", link-drops with no context.
What we see in the writer →
Intent: comparison + trigger event (budget approved) → deciding this week.
Angle: name 2 tools incl. yours, lead with the remote-team tradeoff, disclose you're affiliated.
⚠ Risk: don't be the 6th person to just drop a product name.
Example read · we do this for every thread in every community you track.
Community intelligence
r/travel will bury you for a link. r/paris clocks a tourist the second you skip the local slang. So before you write a word, we profile the room — how much promotion it tolerates, the words locals actually use, the pains that come up again and again, and what gets you removed.
promo tolerance
native lexicon
recurring pains

Signature · Reddit authenticity detector
This is the part we're proudest of. Paste your draft and we score how much it reads like AI or marketing — the exact thing that gets your comment downvoted, removed, and you banned from the sub. It's not a generic AI-detector. It's tuned to Reddit, and recalibrated to the specific community you're posting in. Then it rewrites you in a native voice that fits that sub. You're still the author. You just stop sounding like a press release.
Your draft
Great question! 🙌 Our platform leverages best-in-class automation to streamline your workflow — it's a game-changer. Hope this helps!
Native voice · calibrated to r/SaaS (5/10)
We hit the same mess around 30 people. Ended up on [tool], mostly for how it handles remote payroll — fair warning, I work there, so grain of salt. Gusto was the other finalist; honestly fine if you don't need multi-country.
Calibrated per community. In r/travel that same draft would still get flagged — so there, we'd tell you to just help instead, no pitch. (Scores shown are illustrative.)
Who's actually talking
Someone asking "what do you all use for X" with an approved budget is not the same as someone venting at 2am — and the right move is different for each. For every thread we read the person: what they actually want, whether it's even worth a reply, the angle that won't get you downvoted, and who else is in the comments — including the competitors camping your keywords.
Spreadsheets are killing us — need an HR tool for 15 people.
What we see in the writer →
✓ reply-worthy: yes
Angle: Share how you solved the same chaos; mention tooling only if it fits.

✓ reply-worthy: yes
⚠ 2 competitors already replied — be transparent.
ugh another "we're hiring" post
What we see in the writer →
✗ reply-worthy: skip — no opening, low-karma account
⚠ Pitching here gets you downvoted.

Account health
Give us just your public Reddit handle — we read karma, account age, posting cadence, and the one ratio that keeps you welcome in every sub: value to promotion. Aim for a healthy 9 helpful replies to every 1 that mentions you.
karma
4,210
age
3y 2mo
cadence
steady
At 5:1 we'd nudge you to contribute more before your next mention.
Public data only · no password field anywhere · we can't post, DM, or log in as you.
How it works
Tell us what you sell. We find the subreddits where your buyers actually hang out and profile each one's culture.
Every opportunity gets an intent read, a reply-worthiness score, a suggested angle, and risk flags — sorted into Contribute vs Pitch-appropriate.
Write your reply, run it through the Authenticity Detector, get a version calibrated to that sub's tolerance and lexicon.
Copy the comment and paste it on Reddit yourself, from your own account. We track the follow-ups and watch your account health.
No step posts for you. That's the point.
What's in the box
culture
A culture profile per subreddit: promo-tolerance dial, native lexicon, recurring pains, dos & don'ts, tone.
intent
Every thread scored 0–100 for intent, with opportunity type, reply-worthiness, suggested angle, and risk flags.
voice
Our signature. Catches AI/marketer tells and rewrites you in a native voice calibrated to each sub.
safety
Connect your username (public only): karma, age, cadence, and your 9:1 value-to-promo ratio.
plan
A daily plan split into Contribute and Pitch-appropriate lanes, so you help far more than you pitch.
recon
Follow-up tracking on threads you engaged, plus the regulars and rivals who keep showing up.
What we don't do: post for you · ask for your password · touch anything that isn't public.

FAQ
No, and we never will. Reddit shut down self-serve posting bots in 2025 and bans the accounts that use them. You write and paste every reply yourself. We surface, score, and coach — you stay the author.
No. For Account Health we only read your public profile — karma, age, cadence — from your username. We never log in as you, never DM, never post.
It's the opposite. Spam tools optimize for volume and get you banned. We optimize for belonging: understanding each community's culture and each person's intent so your contributions are actually wanted.
Generic detectors ask "did a machine write this?" Ours asks "will Reddit — specifically THIS subreddit — reject this as marketing?" It's tuned to Reddit norms, recalibrated per community, then rewrites you in that sub's voice.
Only public Reddit data — posts, comments, public profiles. Nothing behind a login.
Our whole design prevents it: promo-tolerance dials, the 9:1 health ratio, risk flags, and a detector that stops marketer-speak before you post. The rest is good judgment — which we help you keep.
You're a guest in someone's community. Show up like you mean it — we'll make sure you sound like you've been there all along.
