Quirks & Gotchas
Subreddit Rules are King
Each subreddit has its own rules about what’s allowed:- Some subreddits don’t allow media at all.
- Some allow images but not galleries.
- Some require flairs.
- We validate against subreddit settings before posting. If it’s not allowed, you get a clear error.
Engagement Terminology
- Likes = Upvotes
- Dislikes = Downvotes
- Shares = Crossposts

Quirks
- Reddit has the most limited analytics of any major platform we support.
- No profile-level analytics whatsoever.
- View counts exist for some posts but are not guaranteed.
- No impressions or reach metrics. Reddit’s API simply doesn’t provide them.
- Upvotes/downvotes are the primary engagement signals.
