Schedule Reddit posts

Schedule Reddit posts - without breaking subreddit rules

Croni publishes via Reddit's official API, supports per-subreddit flair and formatting, and is built around the realities of Reddit moderation - karma requirements, account age, the 9:1 self-promotion rule. Honest tooling, not bot-net behavior.

Official Reddit API publishing

Posts ship through Reddit's official API with OAuth scopes you grant on connect. No browser automation, no fake voting, no behavior that triggers shadowbans or anti-spam classifiers.

Per-subreddit flair + format

Croni respects each subreddit's required flair, title rules and format conventions. Set them once per subreddit; Croni applies them to every scheduled post for that sub.

Honest about Reddit's rules

Reddit isn't LinkedIn - automation alone won't grow your audience. Croni schedules and formats; you still need karma, account age, and authentic engagement to land in feeds.

For builders sharing milestones in /r/SaaS, /r/indiehackers, /r/Entrepreneur - and any community-engaged founder

Reddit is the highest-quality social audience on the internet and the hardest to do right. Subreddits ban self-promotion within hours of detection. Moderators read post histories. The 9:1 rule (90% engagement, 10% self-promo) is enforced by default in serious subs.

Most 'Reddit automation tools' ignore all of this and ship posts that get removed within minutes - sometimes shadow-banning the account in the process. Croni was built the opposite way: schedule and format the posts you would have written anyway, on the cadence your account can actually sustain.

The achievement-style milestone posts that work on Reddit ('first $1k MRR', 'shipped 100 customers', 'open-sourced our codebase') need authentic context and consistent presence. Croni helps you ship them on a sustainable schedule and respect the rules of each sub - but it can't replace the engagement work that earns the right to post.

How it works

  1. 01

    Connect Reddit

    OAuth connect your Reddit account. Croni reads your post history to learn your voice and your subreddit list.

  2. 02

    Set per-subreddit rules

    For each target subreddit, configure required flair, title format, link rules and any sub-specific norms. Croni applies them to every scheduled post.

  3. 03

    Schedule with sane cadence

    Croni warns you before you violate a sub's posting frequency limits or trip the 9:1 self-promo line. Set the cadence; we publish via the official API.

Frequently asked questions

Will I get shadow-banned for using Croni on Reddit?

Not from Croni itself - we only use Reddit's official API with the OAuth scopes you grant. Shadow-bans come from violating subreddit rules or Reddit's site-wide spam policies, which Croni's safeguards are designed to help you avoid (but can't fully prevent - that's on the account's behavior over time).

Do I need minimum karma or account age?

Many serious subs require 50-1000+ karma and 30-90 day account age before allowing posts at all. Croni shows you each subreddit's requirements before you schedule; if your account doesn't qualify, you'll see it before publishing.

What's the 9:1 rule and does Croni enforce it?

The 9:1 self-promotion rule (from Reddit's official guidance) says no more than 10% of your posts should promote your own content. Croni surfaces your self-promo ratio in your dashboard and warns when you're trending over - but it's your call whether to publish.

Can I post the same content to multiple subreddits?

Yes - but most subs ban cross-posting verbatim. Croni rewrites each post per subreddit (different title, framing, body) rather than copy-pasting. Some subs allow native cross-posts; those Croni supports too.

Does it handle flair, post type (text vs link) and tags?

Yes. For each subreddit you set: required flair, allowed post types, title prefix conventions, NSFW/spoiler tags. Croni applies them automatically per scheduled post.

What about milestone / achievement posts (e.g. /r/SaaS revenue updates)?

These work well on Reddit when you have authentic engagement history in the sub. Croni helps you maintain a consistent posting cadence so your account looks like a real community member, not a drive-by promo account.

Is Reddit on the free plan?

Yes - connect Reddit on the free plan with no card. Paid plans unlock more scheduled posts and additional platforms.
