FounderReply automates the finding-and-drafting half of Reddit marketing, not the posting half. It searches Reddit through the official API, drafts a comment in your voice, and holds it in an approval queue. Nothing goes out until you release it, and it posts from your own OAuth-connected account rather than a rented one.
On Reddit
Search, drafted comments, posts and DMs — every public action human-approved.
Keyword search across Reddit surfaces the questions where your product is a genuine answer, so you are choosing between real threads instead of guessing at a subreddit.
Relevance-sorted search on the OAuth host, using the `read` scope the connector already holds. No scraping and no logged-out crawling.
Each draft arrives attached to the thread that prompted it, so you approve a reply in context rather than a sentence with no parent.
The comment endpoint only fires after the approval queue releases the item, and the autonomy controller caps Reddit at approval whatever your dial says.
Your Reddit account authorises the app directly. There is no shared pool of aged accounts, and nothing appears under a username you do not control.
OAuth authorisation-code grant with refresh; tokens are stored per workspace and revocable from Reddit’s authorised-applications page at any time.
The room
Reddit is a search surface before it is a social network. The thread that answers "best tool for X" was written years ago, ranks in Google today, and is still collecting readers — which is why a single well-placed comment on Reddit outlives a week of posting elsewhere. The work is not volume; it is finding the handful of threads where your product is the honest answer to a question someone already asked.
Reddit polices self-promotion harder than any other platform on this list, and it polices it socially — moderators and readers check post history before they check your link. The rules that keep an account healthy are the same rules that make a comment worth reading.
The ceiling
Two layers decide whether an action happens by itself: your autonomy dial, and a hard ceiling we impose per platform. The safer of the two always wins, so the dial can make things stricter and never looser. This table is generated from that ceiling.
| Action | Ships as | Most permissive allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Publish your own postOriginal content from your connected account | Waits for your approval | Waits for your approval |
| Reply on your own postsAnswering comments left on your content | Waits for your approval | Waits for your approval |
| Direct messagePrivate messages to a person | Waits for your approval | Waits for your approval |
| Comment on someone else’s postThe highest-risk action on every platform | Not permitted | Not permitted |
Reddit’s Responsible Builder Policy and Data API Terms restrict automated posting, and treat bulk automated promotional commenting as spam. So no Reddit action is ever unattended, and commenting on other people’s threads is off entirely unless a workspace holds its own commercial-API approval.
You authorise FounderReply from your own Reddit account, and you can revoke it from Reddit’s authorised-applications page without touching us.
Nothing here is a marketing paraphrase — it is the string the connect flow sends, copied from lib/connectors/reddit.ts.

No. Reddit is capped at human approval for posts, replies and DMs, and commenting on strangers’ threads is switched off entirely. If you set your autonomy dial to automatic, the controller takes the safer of your setting and the platform cap, so the item still waits in the queue.
Yours. You connect your own Reddit account over OAuth and every comment, post and message goes out under that username. There is no managed account, no aged-account pool, and no shared identity. Revoke the authorisation from Reddit’s app settings and the agent immediately loses access.
Six scopes: identity to read who you are, submit to create posts, read for search and thread context, privatemessages for the inbox, history to read your own submissions, and edit to correct one. There is no moderator scope and no scope covering other people’s accounts.
Nothing posts without you approving it, so the agent cannot outrun your judgement. The account risk on Reddit comes from what gets said and how often, not from the API — which is why the ceiling exists, the drafts are shown in context, and the guide below covers the rules that actually get accounts removed.
Every plan, including Free. Free connects one account and is limited to drafted replies; publishing original posts is a paid feature. Reddit costs us nothing per customer, so it is never the platform behind an upgrade prompt.
The free plan connects one account and drafts replies for you to approve. Nothing is published until you release it.
