reddit-account-warmup

Purpose — Warm up a fresh Reddit account into a stable, low-risk identity that can post and comment without being silently shadowbanned, removed, or rate-limited — so it can later be used for genuine community participation, growth research, or low-frequency product launches.

Triggers — "warm up a reddit account", "新号养 reddit", "my reddit posts keep getting removed", "is my account shadowbanned", "before launching on r/<subreddit>"

Why this skill is a skill and not an agent

Reddit's anti-spam system is built specifically to detect automated and scripted account-warming. The whole craft is making your account look like a real human. Therefore:

  • ✅ This skill augments your judgment with structured checks, calendars, and copy patterns
  • ✅ Read-only helpers (subreddit rule lookup, karma tracking) are safe to automate
  • ❌ Posting, commenting, voting, and DMing must be done by hand — automating those is what gets accounts permabanned

If you came here looking for a "Reddit auto-poster," close this tab. There are better ways to lose your IP.

Inputs

  • A goal: are you warming this account for personal use, growth research, or to eventually launch a product? The week-6 strategy diverges based on this.
  • A clean device + IP environment — see 6-week-workflow.md § "Device & environment SOP"
  • A fresh email (Gmail recommended) and phone number bound to one Reddit account only
  • 3–5 target subreddits related to your interest or product domain (you'll pick after Week 1)

Outputs

  • A 6-week calendar of what to do each day (6-week-workflow.md)
  • A one-pass pre-publish checklist (pre-post-checklist.md)
  • A comment-quality framework that actually gets upvotes (comment-karma-formulas.md)
  • A recovery SOP for when something goes wrong (recovery-playbook.md)
  • A list of behaviors that get accounts banned (high-risk-actions.md)

After 6 weeks, you should have:

  • Comment karma ≥ 50 (the unofficial baseline most subreddits actually require)
  • No removed posts in the last 7 days
  • 3–5 active "home base" subreddits where mods recognize your handle as benign
  • Zero mod warnings, zero Automod negative flags

One-page speed-pass

You only need to remember three sentences:

  1. Comment first, post later — build credibility before broadcasting.
  2. Slow is fast — the harder you push, the faster Automod fires.
  3. Read every subreddit's rules before doing anything — every community has different (often unstated) thresholds.

New-account safety floor

  • ✅ Comment karma ≥ 50 before your first post
  • ✅ Avoid going negative on comment karma (it tanks reach across all subreddits)
  • ✅ Continuously interact normally for several days before doing anything that looks like promotion or self-link
  • ✅ Keep device + network environment stable, especially in the first 4–6 weeks

Decision tree — what do I read first?

Just registered, never posted? ───────► 6-week-workflow.md (Day 1 → Week 6)
About to publish a post? ─────────────► pre-post-checklist.md
Trying to grow comment karma? ────────► comment-karma-formulas.md
Got removed / mod-warned / shadowed? ─► recovery-playbook.md
Wondering "is X allowed?" ────────────► high-risk-actions.md

Quality bar (after 6 weeks)

  • Comment karma ≥ 50, post karma ≥ 0
  • No removed comments or posts in the past 7 days
  • 3–5 home-base subreddits where you've made ≥ 5 comments each
  • Profile reads as a real person — bio is short, no link spam, no obvious marketing
  • You can articulate the unwritten rule of each home subreddit ("no question titles", "must include flair", etc.)

What this skill does NOT cover

  • Multi-account farming — illegal under Reddit ToS, and the second account always burns the first one
  • Vote manipulation / brigading — instant permaban
  • Buying aged accounts — shadowbanned the moment you change posting patterns
  • Reddit Ads — separate skill, see templates/ once added
  • Automated posting bots — see "Why a skill, not an agent" above

Compliance — read this before using

Reddit's User Agreement and Content Policy explicitly govern account behavior. Reading rules + warming an account through genuine participation is normal user behavior. Where this skill stays compliant:

  • ✅ One person, one account, one stable device/IP
  • ✅ All actions (posting, commenting, voting) performed by you, not a script
  • ✅ Content is genuine — your real opinion, your real questions
  • ✅ No coordinated multi-account behavior

Where this skill becomes non-compliant (do not do):

  • ❌ Multiple accounts run from same device/IP
  • ❌ Coordinated voting or "ask friends to upvote my post"
  • ❌ Bot-driven posting, commenting, or DMing
  • ❌ Buying upvotes / using vote-exchange groups

You assume all platform-policy and legal liability. The skill is provided as-is.

Optional helpers (v0.2 — not yet built)

These are read-only tools — they observe Reddit, never post. Not needed for v0.1, listed here so future-you knows what's coming:

  • tools/check-subreddit-rules.py — fetch a sub's rules + AutoModerator config + flair requirements, render as a yes/no checklist
  • tools/post-validator.py — paste a draft title + body, get a red/yellow/green score against the 60-sec checklist
  • tools/karma-tracker.sh — log daily karma snapshots, alert on sudden negative drops

Origin & credit

The 6-week structure, comment-karma formula, and 60-second pre-post checklist are adapted from a community-curated guide widely used in the Chinese-language growth community, plus my own reps running it across multiple campaigns. Where the source guide is opinionated, the opinions are kept; where I disagreed in practice, the version here reflects what actually worked for me.
