How to market on r/EntrepreneurRideAlong without getting banned

Sharing your journey (including your product) is the point, as long as it is a genuine ride-along and not a pitch. The safest approach: Document the real arc — what you tried, what flopped, what worked — and let the product be the thing you are building. Story-led posts here convert because the audience is rooting for builders.

You get banned for spamming, not for participating. The fast ways to get removed or shadowbanned are posting promotional content outside the allowed threads, using new or multiple accounts to push links, and posting at bot-like intervals. FounderReply does none of those: it works from your own account inside a browser session you signed into yourself, reads the thread before it writes, drafts genuinely useful contributions, and keeps a human approval step on by default — so what goes out is something you would be comfortable posting yourself.

Not by default. On Reddit a new workspace starts with posts, replies and direct messages all at approve, and commenting under other people's threads switched off entirely — so every draft waits in your queue for a one-tap yes. Moving one of those is a deliberate change, and the app names the rule it crosses first. We never operate fake or "managed" accounts on your behalf; it is always your account, in a session you signed into.

Reddit's widely-cited self-promotion norm is that no more than ~10% of your activity should be promotional — the other 90% should be genuine participation. FounderReply is built around that ratio: it surfaces threads where you can genuinely help and drafts value-first contributions, so your promotional mentions stay the exception, not the pattern.
