Verify it for your subreddit (60 seconds)
- • Sort the sub by Top → This Month and note when the winners were posted.
- • Glance at /new: when posting and comments spike, the room is awake.
- • Check the "online now" counter before you post.
Honest caveat: timing is a second-order factor. A great post at an okay hour beats a weak post at the perfect one. And for threads that already rank on Google, the post hour barely matters; they keep pulling searchers for months.
The threads that rank work at any hour.
ThreadCite finds the Reddit threads ranking for your keywords: the ones worth your reply whenever you post it.
