## What she can post to Reddit

One post, five subreddits, a different title and flair on each of them. She submits them one after another and hands back a permalink for every single one.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Character limit" icon="text-width">
    10,000 characters in the body
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media" icon="photo-film">
    Exactly one file on a media post. Video needs a thumbnail
  </Card>

  <Card title="Post types" icon="layer-group">
    Text, link, image, video, video GIF
  </Card>

  <Card title="Analytics" icon="chart-line">
    None
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Ten of her connectors report numbers back to the Analytics page. Reddit is not one of them, so a Reddit channel shows no chart and no per post figures. She also keeps Reddit to one submission at a time, because the API caps at a request per second.

| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Post settings** | `subreddit`, an array where every entry carries its own `subreddit`, `title` and `type`, plus `url` and `flair`. Full schema in the [Reddit settings reference](/public-api/providers/reddit)                        |
| **Connect flow**  | One step. You authorize the Reddit app, and the editor then searches subreddits live, reading back each one's flairs and what it will accept                                                                         |
| **Automations**   | None. Comments post as replies on the submission when it targets a single subreddit. Address several at once and the comment fails, because the submission ids are joined into one string that Reddit cannot resolve |

<Warning>
  Reddit turns some posts back before she calls the API:

  * **When posting a media post, you must attached exactly one media file.**
  * **You must attach a thumbnail to your video post.**

  Subreddits that mark flair as required will not accept a submission without one. Pick the flair in the editor and she carries it through with the post.
</Warning>
