Choosing where to post
Competition for attention differs a lot: r/PremierLeague has 5.1M members but only about 36 new posts a day — roughly one new post for every 139.6K members — while r/soccercirclejerk gets about 319 a day, one for every 4.6K. A strong, well-made post therefore has more room to be seen in r/PremierLeague; r/soccercirclejerk is better when you want quick replies. Jokes and memes have their own home in r/soccercirclejerk; the serious communities tend to remove them, so keep the two apart. Rule sets vary: of the communities we have rules for, r/soccer lists 13, against 6 in r/soccercirclejerk, so a post that is fine in one can be removed in another.
Before posting, sort a subreddit by “Top” for the past month: it shows in a minute what that community rewards. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
