Community Signals finds Reddit threads where your buyers are asking questions and drafts grounded talking points, so you can earn citations by being helpful, not by spamming.
What it is
AI visibility is not only about what models say in isolation. Real buyers still ask humans on Reddit, and AI engines often cite those threads. Community Signals:
- Monitors the subreddits you choose (Reddit is the only supported community today)
- Queues recent threads that match your keywords, with a match strength
- Drafts talking points grounded in your site's pages, and lists the pages each draft drew on
- Never posts. You copy, adapt, and publish the answer yourself in the thread
This is outreach support, not mention scanning. Your Visibility Index comes from scheduled engine scans, not from community activity.
Where to find it
Citations → Community Signals in the sidebar. The page has three tabs: Communities, Queue, and Drafts.
How to use it
- Add a community. On Communities, enter a Subreddit (for example r/smallbusiness) and comma-separated Keywords, then choose Add community. Or pick one from Suggested communities, which are based on your site profile, prompts, and competitors, and choose Track.
- Poll for questions. On Queue, choose Poll for questions to fetch recent matching threads. After a poll the button counts down for 30 minutes before you can poll again. Stride also checks your communities on a daily schedule.
- Draft talking points. Each queued question shows its community, match strength (High, Medium, or Low), status, and when it was fetched. Choose Draft on a pending question. When it's ready, choose View draft.
- Review the draft. On Drafts, read the talking points and the pages from your site they drew on. Use Edit to change them, or Reject if the thread isn't a fit.
- Post it yourself. Choose Copy draft, then Open thread to go to the Reddit thread. Adapt the wording and post from your own account.
- Mark ready. Choose Mark ready so your team knows which drafts are ready to post.
Stride never posts for you
Community drafts are starting points. You are responsible for what you publish in third-party communities. Stride does not post to Reddit or anywhere else.
Plan & limits
Community Signals is available on every plan. Manual polling has a 30-minute cooldown, and drafts are generated one question at a time for your review. There is no automatic outreach.
FAQ
Can Stride post my answer to Reddit? No. Copy the draft and post manually.
Why is Poll for questions counting down? You (or the daily check) polled within the last 30 minutes. Wait for the countdown, or review what's already in the queue.
Which communities are supported? Reddit only, for now.
How is this different from my prompt list? Prompts are questions Stride asks AI engines on a schedule. Community Signals finds questions real people asked on Reddit.
Will this improve my Visibility Index directly? Not immediately. Helpful community presence can earn citations over time, but index movement still comes from scheduled scans and the content you publish on your own site.
