I also used reddit for my side projects with mixed results. My saleable project didn't do well but my OSS project did. My OSS project got 27 stars within 3 or 4 days (which is 3 times the amount of stars I had on my most popular repo).
- djmill 10y agoNice! Yeah definitely mixed results with Reddit, but it's great for free one-time advertising. Another downside is you can't hit your audience more than once without being targeted a spammer, so I like to think of it as a free 'usertesting.com' outlet.
- jetti 10y agoYou can hit them more than once, depending on your target audience. I posted my library to /r/elixir and then to /r/programming. Admittedly it didn't do well on /r/programming but it got some views
- djmill 10y agoGood to know. Maybe I'll post again in a couple of months to see if I can snag more users.
