DistributionEmerging Pattern
Warm up community accounts before promoting to avoid automatic filtering
New accounts on community platforms like Reddit get automatically filtered or receive lower visibility. By becoming an active user for weeks before posting promotional content, you build account credibility and avoid spam filters. This also helps you learn platform norms and what content performs well.
When to use
When planning to use community platforms (Reddit, Discord, forums) for distribution. Start account activity weeks before you need to promote.
Don't do this
Creating a new account and immediately posting about your product, which gets auto-removed or flagged as spam.
