# Reddit

> Use Reddit research, drafting, and hand-off publishing in daoco — no connected Reddit account required.

Reddit is preview-gated. A workspace owner or admin must enable the Reddit preview before Reddit workflows appear in brand chat.

Reddit works differently from other social platforms in daoco: **you do not connect a Reddit account**. daoco researches Reddit, drafts posts and replies, and hands them to you as pre-filled Reddit links. You post from your own logged-in Reddit account, then tell daoco where the post landed so it can track replies.

## Enable Reddit

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable the preview">
    In daoco, open **Settings** -> **Preview features**, enable **Reddit**, and save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start in brand chat">
    Ask daoco to find subreddits, threads, or brand mentions. No connection card or OAuth step is needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What works today

* **Subreddit discovery**: scored suggestions for communities worth joining, with community rules notes.
* **Target subreddits**: a managed list of communities that steers discovery and scheduled sweeps.
* **Thread opportunities**: recent threads worth replying to, with a suggested angle and a drafted reply.
* **Brand mention monitoring**: a daily sweep for mentions across Reddit, with drafted replies for relevant ones.
* **Post repurposing**: turn top-performing posts from other platforms into Reddit-ready posts.
* **Reply tracking**: marking a post as posted records the thread for tracking right away; the sweeps that watch it for new replies begin once Reddit data access is enabled.

See [Reddit research and engagement](/preview-features/reddit-research) for the full workflow guide.

## What stays manual

Publishing is always a hand-off. When a draft is ready, **Copy reply & open Reddit** or **Open on Reddit** opens the target thread or a pre-filled Reddit submit page. You review, post from your own Reddit account, then choose **Mark as posted** and paste the live Reddit link so daoco can record the delivery and register the thread for reply tracking.

<Warning>
  daoco never posts to Reddit on your behalf, and there is no scheduled auto-publish to Reddit. This is by design — posting from your own account keeps you in control and compliant with each subreddit's rules.
</Warning>

## Pending Reddit API access

Reddit post metrics (score, comments, upvote ratio) require Reddit Data API access, which is pending Reddit's approval. Until then:

* Post analytics for Reddit show as coming soon.
* Thread state (locked or archived) is estimated from open-web research rather than confirmed.

Marked posts are registered for reply tracking immediately; the reply sweeps that watch those threads start automatically once access is granted — nothing needs to be re-marked.
