How do you schedule Reddit posts with PlatPost?

By Guy Hamilton, founder of PlatPost. Last updated .

The short answer

Connect your Reddit account, give PlatPost one idea, and approve the drafts it writes in your voice. Drag a draft onto a day, tick Reddit, and PlatPost posts it at the time you chose.

What you need to post to Reddit

Posts go to the default subreddit unless you name one. Some subreddits need a flair.

Open Connected Channels and press Connect next to Reddit. You sign in on Reddit itself. PlatPost never sees your password.

How to schedule a Reddit post

The steps are the same for every network.

  1. Connect your Reddit account in Connected Channels.
  2. Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
  3. Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
  4. Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick Reddit.
  5. Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.

Reddit limits that PlatPost checks

The text limit PlatPost uses for Reddit is 40,000 characters. The composer counts as you type.

A Reddit post can be text alone. You can add an image or a video from the media studio.

The composer also asks for: subreddit (blank = default) (optional) and post title (optional).

Post to Reddit and your other networks together

One idea can go to Reddit and to any of the other 15 networks in the same step. Each post is written for its network, never one text copied across.

When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.

The route PlatPost uses

PlatPost posts to Reddit through the route the network approves for apps. It never uses scraping or a copied browser session, because that can get an account restricted.
