Hey everyone,

I recently started a subreddit around a legimate topic and want to grow it manually. I am thinking of posting regularly and joining discussions to make the community more active.

Is buying subscribers worth it, or can it cause problems?

I am still new to this. Please give me some tips.

Thanks!!

I’d start with a pretty specific niche tbh, it’s much easier to get people interested when the sub has a clear purpose

I’d focus on organic growth first. Buying subscribers can hurt engagement and may put your subreddit at risk. Post consistently, join relevant discussions, and focus on building a real community. It takes time, but it’s worth it in the long run.

Buying subscribers is harmful for your subreddit since most SMM panels offer only bot followers. That being said, I'd suggest to you to try grow the subreddit organically.

I wouldn't bother buying subscribers. Just focus on posting consistently and growing the subreddit organically. Once Reddit's algorithm starts picking up your posts and recommending them to users, the subreddit can start growing naturally without much effort on your end.

Depends on which niche, for example, in gambling, avoid "bonus", "giveaway", "promo", etc.. keywords until you have some good base of people joined. Then you can start with using some of the words. Activity matters to.

If you want to run into problems real fast, start off buying subscribers. Reddit is very strict these days and it easily nuke accounts. Rather focus on organic growth by engaging, commenting and responding in communities.
