Choosing where to post
If you have a question, start in r/YouTube_startups: it is set up for exactly that, and with about 65 new posts a day there are plenty of people around to answer. Asking the same thing in r/youtube often gets it removed or lost among the 300 daily posts. Competition for attention differs a lot: r/youtubehaiku has 2.8M members but only about 1.6 new posts a day — roughly one new post for every 1.7M members — while r/youtube gets about 300 a day, one for every 11.6K. A strong, well-made post therefore has more room to be seen in r/youtubehaiku; r/youtube is better when you want quick replies. Rule sets vary: of the communities we have rules for, r/DeepIntoYouTube lists 13, against 5 in r/youtube, so a post that is fine in one can be removed in another.
Big subreddits give a post the widest audience, but they also bury it quickly; the mid-sized communities on this list are usually friendlier for questions and first posts. 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.
