Posting time still matters on Reddit
Subreddits have weekly rhythms. A strong post at 2am local time for your audience may never reach hot. This tool samples recent submission history for a subreddit and surfaces hour-by-hour activity so you can schedule launches and founder posts when members are online.
How to use the results
Pick the top two windows for your ICP subreddit, draft the post in advance, and engage in comments for the first hour. Pair timing data with intent research in Needle Search so you post where people already discuss the problem you solve.
