Reddit Post Types

Choose the right Reddit post type before scheduling so your content feels native to the community.

Direct Reddit link posts are often filtered or removed. For better deliverability, create a text, image, or video post and place links in the first comment.

Workflow

  1. 1Use text-only posts for questions, tutorials, changelogs and context-heavy updates.
  2. 2Use text plus image for visual posts with supporting explanation.
  3. 3Use text plus video for demos, walkthroughs and native-feeling media posts.
  4. 4Avoid text plus link as a direct automated link post.
  5. 5Put allowed links in the first comment with a clear reason to click.

Text only

Reddit text post. Safest for context and community value.

Text + media

Image or video media post with supporting text.

Text + link

Discouraged. Move the link to the first comment.

Text only

Text-only posts are safest because they offer context directly in Reddit and avoid the strongest link-post filters.

Text plus image or video

Media posts should still include useful supporting text, a clear title and subreddit-appropriate flair where supported.

Text plus link

This should be discouraged or blocked in automated workflows. Move links to the first comment when appropriate.

BYO Reddit app reminder

Postly provides the redirect URL. You provide the Client ID and Client Secret from your Reddit app. This keeps publishing tied to your own app and avoids a Postly shared publishing identity.
