The fundamentals of organic social growth aren't about underlying moderation , audience, or network dynamics, but about human dynamics. You'll always do better when you give before you ask.
Loved the post. I learned that giving is such an un-intuitive way of learning. By giving (e.g. knowledge or resources), we enable new experiences. They in-turn teach us new perspectives which help in our personal growth.
Good luck on your journey and thank you for the shoutout.
I've been on Reddit since around 2009. I actually used to a regular at the weekly Reddit NYC meetup, back then it felt more like a small community where a meetup made sense? Imagine if we did a "small bets" meetup now, it would feel cohesive, while these days Reddit is one of the top sites on the internet so less a small community.
I also used to go to a ton of EDM festivals and was the host for a bunch of Reddit EDM meetups.
So all this is to say, one again, it's probably my best channel because it's the one I understand the best :)
For Reddit, I would just google any topic you like and join the subreddit, most of the ones with <1 million members are good and the ones that are bigger are not, except for a few big ones like the fitness ones. I actually have a few different accounts, one for poker/crypto/gambling, one for "indie hackers" (like /r/saas, /r/entrepreneur, /r/react, /r/webdesign for example), one for healthy fun browsing (/r/getdisciplined, /r/fitness, /r/getmotivated, /r/loseit, /r/eatcheapandhealthy ), than one where I just sub to the dumb memes. So 4 accounts and I switch to the one that fits my mood best.
And wow, I’m impressed! It does make a lot of sense for you to focus on Reddit with all the experience you have. It’s a tricky platform for most people so that’s an amazing unfair advantage you have there.

Great post Bill. It inspires me to start digging inside Reddit
How long have you been hanging out on Reddit? I only started participating and appreciating it very recently.
Also, what are your favourite subs?
Sorry missed this comment!

All good!
