#22I hate to be that typical hackernews commenter that says "Oh this is already done for free by this thing". But I use this open source project https://anvaka.github.io/redsim/ for that purposes. Unless there's something else I don't see here, i think this open source thingy gives all you need.
honestly it could be useful for the OP... and you never know how big the market is like for some of these services (perhaps they can build on that OSS project)

Appreciate this detailed reply! Just for additional context, I wasn't going around spamming — I made a post on LPT when my startup launched, and then on YSK at the suggestion of a mod who thought my very popular post was unfairly taken down on LPT. Each post had over a thousand upvotes and an 85% +/- ratio, and was generating good conversation. It was super frustrating to lose those posts, which were driving tons of…

I made one post! If I'd known that my idea was going to get so popular, and that reddit would be somewhere it might spread, I would have joined the community sooner and gotten engaged. But lacking a time machine, I just created an account and made the one post that became incredibly popular.

Thanks! I have 2 pricing plans currently. One for those ideating/validating businesses ($19/mo), and one for those using Reddit for customer acquisition ($39/mo).

It sounds like you weren’t a spammer but your interest really isn’t community so much using them as a marketing channel.
If you were more intrinsically interested in the community, you’d probably have signed up long ago and engaged with plenty of other people’s posts, like you did here here on HN!
Re: Show HN: Reddit search engine for startup founders
#26Is there a similar service based on StackOverflow?
Not as far as I know, but that would be quite interesting

But maybe they are harder to discover (eg because FB search is horrible, is it not). Or LinkedIn, but maybe over there one finds mostly recruiters and job applicants, hmm

Haha I signed up for HN around the same time, actually. I stayed involved in the community here because it was so welcoming! After my experiences on reddit, I was a bit gun-shy.
Is there a subreddit that has an analog of 'Show HN'? Or have HN and PH basically sucked all the oxygen out of that particular room?
