Reddit Ghosts
On this page
A Reddit content finder Ghost searches both posts and comments with your search queries and keeps the ones that match your goal. Use it where people ask for advice in detail, such as an owner in a small business subreddit asking which payroll software handles contractors.
You don’t need to link a Reddit account for the Ghost to scan. A linked account is only for acting on Finds.
Posts, comments or both
A Ghost reads both unless you set the Content type filter to Posts or Comments. A comment Find shows the post or comment it replies to.
Subreddit rule checks
Many subreddits ban self-promotion. With suggested responses on, the Subreddit safe comments switch tells your Ghost to suggest only comments that are safe to post under the subreddit’s rules. It is on by default. On any Reddit Find, click Sub rules to read the rules yourself before you post.
Search queries
Each Ghost takes up to 15 queries. See Reddit search syntax for the operators and rules.
The weekly estimate next to a query counts raw search results. Your goal and Match threshold decide how many become Finds.
Filters
Filters live under Set Global Filters for every query and Set filters for this query for one. A filter on a single query takes priority over the global one.
- Subreddits limits the search to the subreddits you name, and Excluded subreddits skips them. Enter names without
r/. - Users takes usernames without
u/. - Mentioned websites takes domains that appear in the post or comment, such as
example.com. - Each of these lists holds up to 15 entries.
- A Ghost you create automatically never sets Language. Add it yourself if you need it.
Act on a Find
With a Reddit account linked, you can comment, vote or message the poster from PitchGhost. Nothing is sent until you send it. A comment takes up to 10,000 characters and a message up to 10,000.
To comment without using your own account, see the Reddit Comment Poster tool.
