How to Schedule a Reddit Post with Social Rise
Scheduling your Reddit content inside Social Rise is straightforward.
Whether you’re sharing a text post, link, or image, here’s how to line it up for future posting.
1. Go to “Post Scheduler”
- On the left sidebar, click Post Scheduler
- Choose whether you want to import the posts Manually, Auto, or in Bulk.

Hey everyone, I’m a solo dev building this project. Happy to answer questions or get feedback! - Adding more context. Example for a post in r/Fitness:
I’ve been on this cut for 3 months, and this routine really helped me stay consistent. Let me know if you want a breakdown of my macros or weekly split. - Including a link (some subreddits only allow links in the comment).

How to Upvote Scheduled Reddit Posts Automatically
Once your post is scheduled, the next step is automating the upvotes.
Upvoting your post immediately after it goes live helps boost visibility and improves your chances of hitting the top of the subreddit.
1. Visit the rUpvote Panel
Go to your rUPVOTE Panel and open the Schedule Posts ➝ Social Rise section in the sidebar.
Here you’ll see all your scheduled Reddit posts from Social Rise. These are synced via the API key you connected earlier.
2. Order Upvotes for Scheduled Posts
- Find the post you want to boost
- Click Order
- Choose how many upvotes (or even awards or downvotes) you want sent
- These upvotes will be sent automatically the moment your post goes live
You can also duplicate posts, delete them, or monitor live performance directly from this panel without switching back and forth between tools.
Why This Works
Reddit posts get early exposure based on how well they perform in the first few minutes. Sending upvotes right after publishing helps your post:
- Reach the hot/trending feed faster
- Appear more credible to real users
- Increase engagement from actual Redditors
Example Use Case
Here is an example of promoting a free Notion template for freelancers.
- Subreddit:
r/Notion - Type:
Text post - Scheduled Title:
I built a Notion template that tracks freelance income, clients, and invoices - free to use - First Comment:
I’ve been freelancing full-time for 3 years, and I used to struggle with tracking income across platforms, staying on top of unpaid invoices, and organizing client briefs.
So I built this Notion dashboard to manage it all in one place. It includes:
- Income tracker with auto-sum
- Client database
- Invoice log
- Weekly work journal
Here's the link: https://notion.so/freelance-dashboard
It's 100% free, no email required. Hope it helps someone else!In this example:
- The title directly states the value (what it is, what it does, and that it’s free)
- The link post ensures the template is front and center
- The first comment shares relatable pain points and gives quick bullet points for scannability
- A clear non-spammy tone builds trust with Reddit users
FAQ
Before using scheduling and upvoting tools regularly, it’s important to understand Reddit’s limitations and how to use automation safely.
Sort of. Reddit doesn’t allow third-party tools to directly upload images or videos to all subreddits. This is especially true for NSFW subreddits.
Workaround: Instead of uploading directly, you can post links to hosted media like imgur.com, redgifs.com, gfycat.com, etc.
This lets you schedule visual content safely, and it works on most subreddits.
No, unless you abuse it.
Reddit’s Terms of Service allow automation tools as long as you’re not spamming. The key is to:
- Avoid posting too frequently in short time spans
- Respect subreddit rules
- Vary your post content and targets
