Lead with the specific technical or design problem you are solving.
Don't hide the link, but don't make it the center of the post.
Ask open-ended questions that invite a critique of the 'how' or 'why'.
Fast answers to the key decision points
Where links belong
Links should support the feedback request, not define it. A reader should understand the issue before they ever click.
Why posts get flagged
Feedback posts get flagged when they spend more time describing the product than explaining the decision or issue that needs review.
Execution checklist
- Remove all marketing adjectives (e.g., 'revolutionary', 'best', 'unique').
- State exactly what stage you are in (e.g., 'early prototype', 'v2 redesign').
- Respond to every comment within the first 4 hours to keep the discussion alive.

FAQ
What is the best post title for a feedback request?
Use a title that names the exact problem or decision. Specificity makes the request feel real and gives the right people a reason to answer.
Why did my feedback post get removed as spam?
Most removals happen because the post reads like marketing copy or because the request is so broad that it looks like disguised promotion.
Should I say that I built the product?
Yes. Clear disclosure builds more trust than trying to hide affiliation and hoping readers will not notice.
Is it okay to ask for landing page feedback on Reddit?
Yes, but only if you ask a narrow question about messaging, conversion, or clarity instead of asking for a general review.
What is the safest way to include a demo or screenshot?
Use the media as context for the question you are asking. The screenshot should help people answer, not act like an ad creative.
