Using subreddit mentions while commenting is another great way to grow your community by helping other Redditors discover it. You can attract visitors by mentioning the community in relevant comments of other communities.

Be mindful of how you use subreddit mentions. Using this feature in response to comments that are not relevant to your community may be seen as spam and this can reflect poorly on the community you're attempting to grow.

To start using subreddit mentions:

1. Find an existing post where there is a relevant discussion
2. You can add to the conversation with a comment and mention your community starting with “r/[insert your subreddit name here]”, which will create a hyperlink the comment.
3. Users who view your comment will be able to easily click the subreddit link and navigate to your community
