Question about Games on Reddit publishing

Hey folks, sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I keep seeing conflicting answers.

If I want my game to show up in the Games on Reddit section (not just a sub), does it need to be published first (with --public) ?

If so, do standalone daily games need the same flexibility as regular devvit apps built to support many different subreddits?

Just trying to understand what’s actually required before I spend time building things I may not need.
Thanks 🫰🏻

Do timers make word games more challenging or ruin them?

Hey everyone! I built a word game for Reddit and noticed that adding a timer to word search changes the strategy. People seem to rely much more on pattern recognition now. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing. I’ve been testing this in r/hexicword

Would love to hear what experienced players think

Devvit approval/rejection & user comments

Hey guys, quick question about the Devvit publishing process 🙃

I submitted my game for publishing last weekend and still haven’t heard anything back (nothing on Mon or Tue either). If something’s wrong, do they usually send a rejection or some kind of explanation, or do they just ghost you?

Also, right now comments are being posted under the app acc instead of the actual user accounts. I was expecting that to get fixed once the app gets approved, but I’m not 100% sure if that’s tied to approval or if I messed something up

Ps. I’m talking about r/hexicword and the comments section

How are redditors discovering devvit games?

Hey all! I recently made my first game r/hexicword and unexpectedly ran into a discovery problem.

How are you showing your games to redditors? Feels like most relevant subs have strict limits and there aren’t many places to share games in the first place.
Frankly it feels like Reddit is not intended for showing games built for the platform or I just don’t understand it well enough

I’d love to hear how others are handling this.
