Sorry I've been awake for 20 hours and I got 4 hours of sleep before that lol I'm just having thoughts tbhon

Trying to get through these times is difficult. I wish there was an answer.

Maybe not the best place to ask but I cant think anywhere else.

Hi hi everyone! Today I'll give some advice on how I grew my subreddit from absolute 0 to 185k monthly visitors in one month and 3 weeks.

I'll start by saying, I did have a bit of a head start. Essentially, another subreddit with a similar concept was going through a controversy, in that they banned all political or politic resembling posts. It was during that time that I made my subreddit, and started promoting it an alternate subreddit that allowed politics.

I was promoting my subreddit in the comments of posts of people complaining about the sub, this did give me a bit of a headstart, but the real thing is that within the first week i posted 70 times.

I crossposted almost every post to larger subreddits, more specifically i would make posts on my subreddit with other subreddits in mind that i thought it could gain traction on. I also tried to respond to every single comment possible and upvote just about every post.

One of the first things I did when picking up traction was to set a challenge, the first 5 people to have posted 20 times would receive a special flair color, in my subreddit posts are counted in your flair automatically by a bot.

I also set up a suggestion box post, and set up the flair bot as well as a bot to auto-remove posts that were the wrong number (for my subreddit the post titles have to be one number less than the post before it, so each post is "counting down".)

I basically just did everything i could to make this subreddit feel as premium as possible. I try to make sure everyone feels comfortable posting and using it, as well as welcomed. Crossposting to bigger subs was one of the best strats, i believe i got a few posts with 500-1000+ upvotes crossposting.

That's all! Not the most detailed guide but it's what i did so, hope it helps! :P

I do believe it's layered with a vocal sample. But still, it's not just a reese with white noise or something is it? it sounds very complex.

Sample is a called Drake by this artist Hotline Bling. idk much about them, they're pretty niche and underground. Cool sample though!

It's said 129,000 for about a week now, but i've gotten notifications that have said it reached 130k, 150k, and 160k.

Does it really just take that long to update? Usually it was updating every morning before!

Thank you ^_^

sorry it's kinda pretty loud at some points lol
