If I'm a professional developer, both with Python/javascript + experience with automating mobile phones, etc, what are my best paths for promoting a service if I don't want to rely on Reddit anymore?

What social media apps work best?

I haven't really tackled X, TikTok, insta, or FB cause it feels like it requires building an entire social media presence which is daunting.

And most FB groups are so spammed, it feels pointless trying to post anything.

Have you tried LinkedIn jobs?

There are multiple short-term contracts posted there.

Additionally explore indeed, monster and other similar sites.

Use the filter and apply on short term contracts(remote).

Prepare one page CV and apply with custom cover letters.

Am assuming you are looking at whitehat jobs.

If you are looking for gigs that are blackhat then explore discord groups, facebook groups that are moderated, X (I don't know how it works).

Good luck.
 
With your skills, LinkedIn is probably your best bet. You don't need a huge following; just a solid profile that clearly states you're for hire for mobile automation. Connect with other developers and tech managers at agencies, they're the ones who need and budget for this work. ;)

Groups
On tg and WhatsApp are the path to look into
You can not avoid FB groups as you need your presence everywhere
 
YouTube Shorts with subtle CTAs = underrated channel for devs with a story to tell.
 
LinkedIn is likely the most suitable platform for you. Focus on presenting your mobile automation services clearly and engage with developers and technical decision-makers who typically require this expertise.
 
I'm realizing my original post wasn't clear - I'm not advertising development or automation. I'm just saying I'm experienced with both and therefore, trying to figure out which platforms can be most easily used to get users to any type of platform (in my case, saas or music related services)

Yeah, building from scratch can feel like a grind. For dev services, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn are solid if you share quick insights, demos, or automation results they attract serious clients. TikTok and Reels can work too if you show short “how I automated this” clips. Instead of broad posting, focus on niche communities (Discords, indie dev groups, automation subreddits alternatives). Consistent, value-based posting > heavy self-promo.
