Why Track Reddit?
Reddit is where many professionals, developers, and buyers discuss tools, share opinions, and ask for recommendations - often more candidly than on LinkedIn. Tracking Reddit helps you:- Catch buying intent (“looking for a tool that does X”)
- Monitor brand and competitor mentions
- Discover product feedback and feature requests
- Find community discussions relevant to your market
How Reddit Tracking Works
Reddit tracking uses the same keyword watchlist system as LinkedIn tracking:- Create a keyword watchlist with Reddit tracking enabled
- OutX monitors Reddit for posts matching your keywords
- Matching posts appear in your watchlist feed alongside LinkedIn posts
- You can filter your feed to show only Reddit posts or only LinkedIn posts
Setting Up Reddit Tracking
Step 1: Create a Keyword Watchlist
Follow the same steps as creating a LinkedIn keyword watchlist:- Click ”+” to create a new watchlist
- Enter your tracking prompt or keywords
- Configure must-include and excluded keywords
Step 2: Enable Reddit
When configuring your watchlist, enable Reddit tracking in the watchlist settings. This tells OutX to monitor Reddit in addition to LinkedIn.Step 3: View Reddit Posts
Once enabled, Reddit posts will appear in your watchlist feed. You can use the platform filter to show:- All posts (LinkedIn + Reddit)
- LinkedIn posts only
- Reddit posts only
