Hey everyone!
I am glad to announce that we have been renovating the Steem subreddit over the past weeks and the feedback has been quite positive so far!
We decided to start these changes to turn the subreddit from a billboard of post promotion into a gateway to Steem for the millions of users that Reddit has. We believe that we can turn the subreddit into a place to spread information about our platform and to help any curious redditors get on board and learn about what makes Steem great! The change has also improved the discussions in the comment section by a lot so far and even raised general activity and "reddit upvotes" on self posts.
This is what we have done so far to achieve these goals:
- A new moderation team has been recruited.
- Weekly post promotion thread where users can share their contests to get attention and new entries. We believe this will be an amazing way to attract new users into Steem who happen to look at the subreddit.
- Bi-Weekly post promotion thread, here you can share your latest blog post for more attention! Users who comply to the rules will be rewarded
- A brand new set of rules to encourage good behavior, including a change to make the subreddit text only to discourage link dropping and encourage more conversations about Steem and leaving the space open for questions by newcomers.
We believe having a page for Steem on reddit can be advantageous for us in growing our user base, especially with the upcoming Hardfork 20 update that will streamline the process of account creation for everyone, opening the floodgates for everyone that wants a Steem account!
To encourage all Steemians to participate in the subreddit and increase its activity and bring life to our reddit embassy a contest will be run with 100 Steem up for grabs for the participants!
By focusing the post promotion into one thread this means it will also be easier for curators to find your posts than them being scattered all over the subreddit.
The rewards will be distributed between everyone that abides by the rules by sharing a post on the Post Promotion stickies. Make sure to flair your Steem account on the right panel so that we know who are you in case you have a different username over there!
Lets show redditors how cool Steemians are by giving them a good look at our platform from there and encouraging them to sign up!
This contest will last for the current Post Promotion thread (August 11th) and the next two!
You can find the rules in the current Post Promotion thread.
Now go and visit the subreddit and make sure to subscribe!
We have received over 250 subscribers since the last post about the subreddit! Let's grow it even more during this bear market. :)
You can also get a small upvote from me by subscribing and writing down which subscription number you were or pasting a screenshot here in the comment section! :)
Terrific idea @acidyo.
This is something that I need to consider giving my time to. Reddit is certainly a sensible gateway to STEEM and should really be targeted. I like the idea of changing things up so it isnt place where people basically spam their content. STEEM needs to put a good foot forward.
So many projects where to spend the time. LOL
Thanks for all your work on this end....with HF20, Reddit could be a great feed in.
Glad to you.. Done sobscribed
Finally going public! Glad to be on the team helping out! Hopefully this encourages a lot of activity and helps us gain traction in Reddit!
Done :D Will check it now ;-)
:)
u/roflkitten is on board!
woop woop thanks acid
Done.
I can't believe that I didn't follow the sub since. Anyway, better now than never.
Uncle boss 😁
Yes, you convinced me to create a redit account, and to subscribe. Will definitely spend some time to explore it.
Proof:
Done :)
Hi @acidyo i think this is a reallly great idea to bring attention to steemit!
Reddit have a Big community that could be really great if they come to steemit!
i suscribed and also commented on reddit, 100% support
@acidyo i just also resteemed this post for exposition and publicity <3
I was 7,403 subscriber I think or maybe one or two before.
Subscribed. Would love to see this go viral
Like this?
Great that you managed to upgrade steemit subreddit! Spread out the word yo!
I'm not sure if they've already answered the question in another comment because there are so many, but they'll only accept articles in English? In my Arepa Digital Account I sometimes post articles in English, but the vast majority are in Spanish.
BTW
Only english for now, sorry. Maybe in the near future. :)
This is a great effort and I'm going to repeat here that I am happy to help use Reddit to bring more people to Steem.
Thanks for taking the lead on this!
Helo @nathanmars , it's really nice seeing you here in this thread. Thanks for subscribing. :-)
Make sure to subscribe to the subreddit too. :)
Beautiful idea, @acidyo. Steemit has done well in rewarding users over the years. Building its network strength with good hands is the least we can do in return.
Good idea @acidyo. Here is my screenshot.
This is really a good way of promoting steem
Done subscribing...
Done subscribing...
Awesome promo job @acidyo! You should use #promo-steem as tag! I hope the other promoters will see this :)
Oh yeah, will do so in the next reddit posts, feel free to resteem. :P
I'm probably doing this wrong that would be typical serena of me. But I think I am subscribed as number 7372-ish. I've avoided reddit forever because I thought it was stupid and have now joined just for you. First time for everything I guess. Thanks for doing something cool. I'll try to figure out everything else I'm supposed to do.
♥-serena
Urrrgh...I am not a reddit fan, I just never got it. I only go there with an alt account to meet weird people!
But I will try to get it in the next fortnight because it’s obviously something you value. Will figure out what these rules are and what I need to do.
feeling already confused
I have visited that reddit steemit thing in the past. So I’m already subscribed to something...
I think it's a great idea ever since you announce the subreddit cleaning campaign, subscribed although I have near to 0 karma lol.
Hopefully it can put steem in good hands again.
Good friend, I'm very happy for steemit, it's a good idea to advertise through reddit, I think that's how many more people will come together
THank you👍woh it is great we getting bigger. I don't know that steemit have subreditt.👍😀😀
subscribed
i just recently signed up on reddit and i guess this is a good reason to be active. will lurk around there soon :D
Sounds awesome @acidyo. Count me in to get involved with this at Redditt. Never got involved there before but now is as good as time as ever :)
Exciting things happening here at Steemit ;)
Try and browse it every now and then and see if there is anything you can help anyone with, we will gradually grow the moderation team when needed. :)
Just went and signed up under robertandrew1. And did a post promotion. I will definitely browse and see if I can help anyone and also make some quality Comments everyday there.
Good stuff going on, thnx again !!
P.S. also just published a Post on your Post, @acidyo. To get the word out and I will use Hottopic to Resteem it . thanks. This really sounds good !
====> My Post
P.P.S. Resteemed your Post as well just now
What a better way to promote steemit on a platform like subreddit. This is really cool and I am gonna subscribe to this. I will also resteem this post so that my followers can subscribe also.
Let's take steem viral... We going global.
Done! I didn't even know Steemit had a subreddit lol and im like on tons of crypto subreddits
Finally! I've been complaining about the terrible state of the subReddit for a long time. We definitely need more curation and less spamming and more conversation about the platform. The spamminess of the subReddit really helped to make Steem itself look less legitimate.
Good idea - such a co-ordinated marketing will give STEEM the real attention it needs. Along the same lines, I came across an email about a linkedin like site dock going to use Etherium for the project and I was thinking we should actually talk to them about using STEEM and SMT instead ...
It is really good idea and steemit has one more alliance to increase the power of steemit community and it SBD and Steem @acidyo
Very nice.
I am a great fan Of reddit so huge platform of information.

Done.
Done! I didn't even know there was a Steemit thread. This is awesome!
Cool! I love Reddit~
I'm invested in Steem so anything that will support a good PR I'm all for it.
I can't believe this is the trigger for me to create a Reddit account.
Done and Subscribed. Don't know where to get the sub # so just the screnshot. Btw are you a witness? Will check, if you are, you have my entire family's vote.
Already subscribed. Looking forward to promoting Steem so we can get more stakeholders!
dope
Suscribed.
One more thing, @acidyo: I think the link to steemit wiki should point to our steem.center that is the result of the collective work of the steemians ... What do you think?
Owh yes ..
Here my appreciation
Hey! I am 7476 steemian! :)
Thank you for your work, @acidyo!
