### **What is the best day to post on Reddit?**

Monday brings in the most engagement on Reddit, followed by Friday. Sunday and Saturday bring in the least, about 15% less than Monday.

### **Why does posting time matter on Reddit?**

Reddit's algorithm heavily weights initial upvotes, with the first 10 votes being crucial for reaching 'rising' status and potentially the front page. Posts typically have around 24 hours to gain traction before being effectively buried by newer content, making it essential to post when your target subreddit's community is most active.

### **How does Postpone determine the best posting times?**

We look at recent Reddit posts from accounts connected to Postpone, up to 100 from each. Every post is scored against its own account's typical numbers, so a large account and a small one count the same and one viral post can't skew the results. Then we add up that engagement by the day and hour each post went out, in the poster's own time zone, and smooth it so a single busy hour doesn't stand out on its own.

### **Should I always post at the same time?**

Consistency helps your followers know when to expect you, so a regular slot inside one of these windows is a good default. Try a few of them and compare how your own Reddit posts do.
