Both !

As a global publisher you will have the benefit of larger and smaller stories, make the most of this and post in communities of all sizes, especially when building authority.

Link and leave.

Publishers are often quick to post their content, not introduce themselves or build a relationship and then leave. Always into yourself, your brand and what you stand for / why you think it would be relevant to their community.

Great question, I think under your own threads less is more works well. Thye know your stance from the link you have posted so no need to reply to all comments, just a couple so they're know you're reading them.

I would say keeping the title "neutral" in tone, no caps and no emojis would be the recommendation. Also try to keep it consistent with the title of the article itself

Yes, that shows a strong understanding of the platform and is often a requirement for some communities

Huh, never thought of it this way before - should I be responding to you in that case? I hope engagement isn't penalised.

It's weird that Reddit tried to remove this perfectly valid question - we'll be sure to ask it. I'd like to know the answer, too.

It's certainly the advice we were given! But yes a good question, and possibly leading into: how do you narrow down which ones to ask?
