Starting out on Reddit is definitely a grind if you do everything manually. What helped me was using
https://empire-upvotes.com/ to kickstart the process. It s not just about buying upvotes, though that's a big part of it. They also offer subreddit followers, profile followers, and even downvotes if you want to manage competition a bit. Everything runs on a simple point system and it's automated so you don't have to sit there watching it. Once you hit that initial visibility, it becomes way easier to grow organically and build trust in your brand across subs.
