If anyone here still actively browses reddit, especially the leftist subreddits, then plug raddit whenever it's applicable. When somebody inevitably asks if there are any good alternatives to reddit, mention this website.
-
You may also want to PM the mods of leftist subreddits who will be sympathetic to us, and ask if they'll put a link to Raddit in the sidebar, or make a sticky post about it for a short while.

Plug Raddit on other leftist websites, besides reddit. RevLeft is one possibility - if there are other leftist websites like RevLeft, then see if they allow linking back here, and do so if it is allowed. Leftist IRC channels are another possibility.

Link to high quality Raddit posts on reddit. But only do this for posts with self text, and preferably for those that the submitter wrote themselves. If there's a news article you want to link to, copy the text of the article into the body of the post in addition to linking to it in the URL section, and post it (manually adding in the bold, italics, and links is especially good). Then, copy the Raddit URL, and post that to Reddit. This is how I found out about Raddit, so it might help other people find the website, too.
-
If you know any leftist meme pages, ask if they'll plug raddit. Or, create your own memes, put a non-obtrusive raddit watermark on them, then send them to a meme page, or post it to a leftist meme subreddit.
But this is advertising, you say! I hate advertising, and I block as many ads as I can. But, that's because they're all for things that cost money, and they're for things I don't want, and it's because they're obtrusive. Raddit doesn't cost any money, and if you publicize it in the right places, it will be seen by people who are interested in it, and if you do it in a way that's not obtrusive, then people won't be turned away. Be careful not to sound like a salesperson giving an elevator pitch. If you're going to directly plug the site, just say something like "If you're tired of right-wingers on reddit, someone made a clone of reddit for leftists only called Raddit. You might want to check it out."
Feel free to suggest any other ideas you have.
