Abhishek Rajput (@AbhishekRa59512) reportedBuilt your SaaS or app but have no idea how to market it? Here are the options you have to get your first users and start growing 1. Direct outreach -> Find your exact users on Reddit X niche forums and communities where they already talk about the problem you solve Start conversations first understand their pain and give value before pitching 2. Organic content -> Create useful content that solves small parts of the problem and share what you are learning while building Use X Reddit LinkedIn Instagram TikTok or wherever your users actually spend time 3. Build in public -> Share the problems you are solving your decisions your progress and real results People connect with real experiences more than polished feature lists 4. Launch platforms -> Use Product Hunt and other launch platforms to reach early users Do not post everywhere blindly go where your ICP already hangs out 5. Paid ads -> Google and Meta ads can work once you understand your audience positioning and conversion funnel First find a message that works then use ads to scale it 6. Pre sell -> Create a simple landing page explain the problem clearly and try to collect emails or get early customers before building too much If nobody cares you may have a positioning problem 7. SEO and AI discovery -> Create useful content around problems your users search for and make your product easy to understand online Reddit discussions comparison pages review platforms and clear product messaging can also help with AI discovery 8. Measure and double down -> Track which channels actually bring users and customers Do more of what works and stop wasting time on what does not And remember Traffic is not the goal Retention is Talk to users collect feedback improve onboarding and make people want to keep using your product In 2026 building an app is getting easier Distribution is becoming the harder game So if you already built your SaaS or app Which marketing channel are you struggling with the most?

Erilium Finance (@EriliumFinance) reportedGameStop Gamma Squeeze (2021) In the frigid January of 2021, a lone figure known as Roaring Kitty, Keith Gill to his family, laid a trap on the public square of Reddit. He saw what Wall Street’s titans, like Gabe Plotkin of Melvin Capital, had missed: a dying brick-and-mortar video game retailer, GameStop, was grotesquely over-shorted. Gill and his legion of retail investors didn't just buy shares; they bought hundreds of thousands of out-of-the-money call options, a bet that promised explosive returns if the stock merely twitched upwards. This wasn't a gamble; it was a calculated siege, forcing market makers, primarily Citadel Securities, to desperately buy the underlying GME stock to hedge their delta exposure, setting the stage for a squeeze that would cost shorts billions. As GME rocketed from $20 to over $480 in a dizzying ascent, Melvin Capital’s losses mounted into the billions, bleeding over $6 billion in a single month. The market makers, caught in the retail-driven vortex, bought shares frantically, fueling the fire. Then came the twist: on January 28th, as the squeeze reached its apex, Robinhood and other brokers, citing 'liquidity issues' and increased DTCC collateral requirements, abruptly restricted retail investors from buying GME and other 'meme stocks.' The buy button vanished. This unilateral action, widely perceived as a move to protect institutional short sellers, effectively broke the gamma feedback loop, allowing the stock to plummet and offering a lifeline to the very hedge funds on the brink of collapse. Melvin Capital, once a $12.5 billion hedge fund, was decimated, losing 53% in January alone and eventually shuttering its doors in May 2022. Citadel and Point72 had to inject nearly $3 billion to stabilize Melvin. While some early retail investors became millionaires, many who bought at the peak or were locked out of buying saw their portfolios evaporate. The saga laid bare the intricate, often opaque, plumbing of market structure, revealing that the rules of engagement can be rewritten mid-battle when the stakes become too high for the established order. When the house is losing, sometimes the game itself changes.

Slow (@SlowAeon) reported@Root23 @meme_coin_lord @meme_coin_lord you have low karma. Reddit filters out accounts with low karma to cut down on bot accounts. Mods got your post approved, they normally get to around to it pretty quickly. Build up your karma and it’ll happen less.

Rashi Umapathi (@rashiumapathi) reportedA founder came to me 6 months after launch. She spent those 6 months trying to figure GTM out: Month 1: "Let me try content marketing" > Read blogs, watched videos, created a content calendar > Posted 4 blog posts > Got 12 organic clicks Month 2: "Content isn't working, let me try Twitter" > Built Twitter presence, posted daily > Got some engagement, zero customers Month 3: "Twitter isn't working, let me try communities" > Joined 5 Reddit communities, started participating > Got some upvotes, some referral traffic > 3 trials Month 4: "Let me try LinkedIn" > Posted daily, got connections > No customers Month 5: "Maybe I need cold email" > Built a cold email sequence > 2% reply rate, zero customers Month 6: "I'm exhausted. Let me try everything simultaneously" > Running all five channels (poorly) > Still not sure which one actually works Her problem wasn't GTM knowledge. It was that she was learning on company time. What we did in 30 days: > Diagnosed that her best customers came from niche communities (she actually HAD found it in Month 3) > Built ONE repeatable system around communities > Executed consistently > Got 18 conversations, 5 demos, 2 customers The insight: Those 6 months of learning cost her: - $60K+ in lost MRR - 240+ hours of founder time - Momentum (the product didn't improve while she was learning marketing) A 30-day specialist engagement would have cost $3K + proved what works. Instead, she burned $60K+ to learn what a specialist knows in week 1. Most founders are on this path right now. They think they're saving money by learning themselves. They're actually spending it in the worst possible way. Are you learning GTM or building business?

Mansi 👩💻 (@MansiCodez) reportedRecently I interviewed a Senior Engineer. Strong candidate. Kafka? ✅ Redis? ✅ CDN? ✅ Microservices? ✅ Distributed systems ? ✅ Then I asked: “Design Reddit.” They drew boxes. Feed. Votes. Comments. CDN. Then I made it real. A post hits r/all. 400,000 people open it in the first minute. 120,000 tap upvote. The network blips. The same user retries the tap. Two upvote requests. Same user. Same post. Same second. They can land on two different servers. Comments start arriving at 2,000 per second. The hot-score on the front page has to move. A lurker in India refreshes and must see a number that is close, not perfect, and never go backwards for their own vote. How do you guarantee: → the user’s upvote is counted once → the score does not melt the post row with 120k writes → the front page does not recompute hot-rank from scratch on every vote → a comment thread with 50k replies still opens → one mega-post does not take down the whole site “Just do votes = votes + 1.” Two retries. Two increments. Wrong. “Put the score in Redis.” Two servers still both think this is the first tap. “Fan out the post to every follower’s feed.” r/all is not a follower list. It is the internet. Your turn: How would you design Reddit’s Vote API so a retry cannot double-count, and a front-page post cannot turn the database into a single hot row? There is a specific distributed-systems idea behind this. You will meet it anywhere a click is cheap for the user and expensive if you count it twice. 👇

$STX+BTC (@Jimmie_Bogejawn) reported@Plenarioqua @RepNancyMace We can’t prove a lot of those charges and in this country you need to prove your claims when you arrest somebody for crime. The social engineering, textbook manufacturer buying, reddit thread managing, financially hauling and supporting anything they wanted. Our world is stacked to be ****** because of them. Also it’s horrible that they eat us and call us goyim and think of us all as human waste. It’s all bad, but our society is broken and in a horrific state because of the higher level manipulation that we can prove. Those kids have been eaten, liquified, drowned etc, good luck finding evidence.

FalterXV (@falter_xv) reported@AzureusBlaze @lost_faithin @ThighNir Direct me to posts then on reddit where people openly face doxx you, or tell you to TK you on mass, or repeately try to make multiple reddit posts slandering you, directing people to come to your active Twitch streams on mass to doxx you on your live streams. Where they 'pretend to be your followers' just to get into your match and start TK'ing you on mass, or where you TK them back and they lie about it to convince people to come and repeatedly tK you while you choose to batten down the hatches. If you think I have never openly voiced or complained about bad loadouts, or bad choices, or bad play, or lack of mechanics and understanding - you are literally so far up your own *** that it's no wonder you don't get likes on your post. I checked out your YT since I usually know people writing ignorant comments like you do are usually the group OF people who have harassed me for calling these things out. Want to know what I found? You have literally less than 100 views per video. You have a history of playing Elite Dangerous. So, now - me being me knowing that detractors writing comments like this are usually from the no-name nobodies who have stalked me from 2015 for being better, knowing better, etc. - that come from Elite Dangerous? I'm not stupid. Just as I wasn't with the Elara cretin who also exposed it was them too with their recent reddit tears too - that also, also, self exposed themselves to which alts they had used recently to attack me on my Twitch streams too. You write that because you know just how much I go out of my way to block on sight, and call people out. Especially when I am live streaming. You're hoping I'll start actively TK'ing you guys again since I took a stance of mostly kicking given your guy's recent tears and harassment of me and hunting me down in my own lobbies so you can try to false report me to AH too - even after Baskinator and Bvitamin called you all out too. I'm not stupid, Chaos Diver. I know what a tweet designed to have me know what you're actually saying and others to be ignorant of it while you get ratioed looks like. Shut. Just, shut. Quit your lying attempts to instigate for a reaction. ******* lying *********. You guys don't even know 90% of the mechanics I use for stealth, or even why I shoot at things in the way I do when I'm doing solo flawless, full map clear, D10s too. Just shut you entiled whiner babies about "being blocked." You aren't entitled to anything.

Senti 🪄 (@Senti__23) reported@KalenXBT Yeah I remember that Open AI stopped Reddit sourcing for similar reasons and that Anthropic basically destroyed those books scanning them. Not sure that's the current issue tho cuz it's very basic stuff I've been working for months rather than new or niche stuff

Sinda | SKatalyst AI (@SKatalystAI) reported@MSiekmoeller That’s probably the cleanest way to frame it. X is great when the buyer follows people. Reddit is great when the buyer searches for a problem. For consumer apps, that intent can be insanely valuable. What kind of app are you building?

Jason Corley (@JasonCorley78) reported@DaveMc99TA AI slop and Reddit tier context. The last point never happened. No idea about the criteria for B/C. Transparency has never been an issue. We are share a lot about methodology, more than most.

one dozen rats at a keyboard (@PanasonicDX4500) reported@janhopi look, I didn’t want to get into this, but you can’t drop a sentence like “perhaps not as a film of such extraordinary quality that it should have broken records for Oscar nominations though” and then accusing someone else of sounding like a reddit mod

ET the Alien Ape (@ETtheAlienApe) reported@SamaHoole I've had gout in the past, I've read a couple good gout forums on Reddit and one comment that comes up all the time is; many people see direct connection from eating sardines to having a gout outbreak guessing if you don't have that issue you're likely fine with sardines

Arvind (@nctrnlgz) reportedHow the hell did you get your first 10 SaaS customers? I keep seeing the same problem with devs/new founders: They can build the product. They have no idea how to get the first customers. If you’re running a SaaS, drop the link below and tell me how you got your first 10 customers. Cold outreach? Friends? Reddit? Twitter? Referrals? Something completely random? Curious to hear what actually worked.
-
George from 🕹prodmgmt.world (@nurijanian) reported100% agree here, what may be dead is the old discourse that maybe made it seem “alive”, same parallels in product management, there was a thriving community a few years ago, but the discourse has changed, and maybe matured too. we don’t really talk about the same issues (unless its Reddit or they’re hopelessly behind the times). but the field is alive, perhaps more alive than ever

Makoto Kuroki (@Phainonmain1) reported@grok @Reddit_Retards The comments are horrible, these people should be locked up in a closed chamber away from society.... the fact reddit itself has to take down the post not mods is so crazy
