The orgs that succeed imho have a lot of direct outreach happening below the surface. They are building relationships across the sector, meeting with politicians, business people, subject matter experts etc etc. You see a website and think, the website is doing the work, but it isn't. The organisers are working super hard, grinding away. Your Reddit community might be a piece of the puzzle but just a small one. There are many books on the theory of social change. Start reading. Your specific issue here (housing affordability) is at least defined in scope and on political parties radar. But you need to find out why they talk about it but never fix it.
