This growth hack seems ideal for niche products. I’d probably use it to engage in meaningful conversations rather than just pushing my product.

I like the idea of setting alerts for relevant discussions. It seems like a proactive way to engage with potential users where they already are.
I’ve seen people recommend similar tactics, but I always worry about crossing the line between helpful and spammy. Any tips on striking that balance?
I think this approach works well for startups in thier early stages. For me, it’s about finding where my potential users hang out and showing them value naturally.
Setting up alerts for keywords feel like a low wffort way to stay informed, but I wonder how to choose the best keywords without making the alerts too broad or too narrow.
I’m curious about the timing of mentions. Is it better to jump into discussions right away or wait for more activity before mentioning something?
How do you ensure you don't come across as self promotional when mentioning your product? I’d love to know how you approach that balance. @natiakourdadze
Using a tool to monitor Reddit and Hacker News sounds smart, but I wonder how you make your mentions feel authentic and not overly promotional.
