Choosing where to post
r/dadjokes moves fastest, with about 62 new posts a day, so posts there get replies quickly but also slide off the front page within hours. Rule sets vary: of the communities we have rules for, r/dadjokes lists 12, against 4 in r/cleanjokes, so a post that is fine in one can be removed in another.
Before posting, sort a subreddit by “Top” for the past month: it shows in a minute what that community rewards. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
