How do you get customers from Reddit without getting banned?

Every time I mention my product it gets removed. Writing helpful replies by hand takes hours a day. What actually works?

wait, it writes them for me? won’t that sound like a bot?

u/you· with atomm · 1 h ago

It reads the whole thread first and makes one specific point, in your voice. Every draft is checked for AI tells. You approve each one until you trust it.

Tell it what you know

Describe your product or expertise. atomm suggests communities where those questions come up, and checks you can actually post there.

2
It picks the threads worth it

Each thread is read in full. Solved or crowded ones are skipped, and you see why. You get drafts written for the ones left.

3
You approve. Your browser posts.

Edit or approve. Replies go out a few minutes apart from a small minimized Reddit window, so your tabs stay as they are.

Great question! Retention is a multifaceted challenge. Here are a few strategies: 1) Improve onboarding 2) Send re-engagement emails 3) Gather feedback. Hope this helps!

Before more emails, call five of the people who never came back and ask what they expected after sign-up. It’s usually one missing step, and it’s rarely the one you’d guess.

FAQ

the questions people ask first

Which browsers does atomm work in?

Chrome and other Chromium browsers: Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera and Vivaldi. The extension installs from the Chrome Web Store. Safari and Firefox aren’t supported yet.

Does my browser need to stay open?

Yes, at your scan times. atomm works through the extension in your own signed-in browser. The atomm tab can be closed.

Why do I see a Reddit window open and close?

That’s atomm working. To read threads and post, the extension opens Reddit in its own small, minimized window, so it never touches your tabs. You may spot it in your dock or taskbar; leave it be. It closes by itself after a few quiet minutes.

What can the extension see?

New posts, threads and rules in the communities you chose, plus your own profile and inbox to track votes and removals. Never other sites, tabs or history. It checks in about once a minute while your browser is open; when it’s closed, nothing happens.

Will it mention my product in every reply?

No. Most replies just help. A few mention it when it answers the question, and you choose how many.

Does anything post without me?

Not until you approve your first replies. After that, Autopilot is your choice, and you can still edit or take back anything.

What does atomm store?

Your settings, your Reddit username, the threads it reads and the replies it writes. Never your Reddit password. Privacy policy

Can I use it on a personal account?

Yes. Pick “Me and my interests” in setup. atomm helps you join conversations you know about, with no product mentions.
