To the extent that you can do it without spamming, promoting communities themselves wouldn’t be a bad idea, especially if you can offer a unique twist on an existing community or no analogue exists. You can reply to users who are looking for an off-reddit community. That way you attract genuine interest.

I think x-posting content is a good idea, but creating unique content, genuine content is better. Why would they come here if they can also see it on reddit? If there’s content here that people are interested in that they can’t find on reddit, they’ll come here organically.

Fuck doordash for so many reasons outside of that, but yeah, fuck doordash.

It’s worth noting for anyone who does tip on delivery apps - don’t. Part of your tip is a direct donation to DD. They’re not technically lying when they say it “goes to the driver”, but they can sure as hell lower base pay accordingly. If you can’t fight the urge to tip, then tip cash.

I just don’t like tipping as an expectation. If you genuinely want to tip, you’ll know and you won’t need to be asked. There’s nothing wrong with the idea of giving someone a tenner if they go out of their way for you, but being guilted into making a voluntary donation because someone did their job is an example of completely losing the plot. Of course tipped minimum wage shouldn’t be lower either.

I also don’t like the recent trend of being asked to tip before even receiving the service. Uhh… I dunno how much to tip you, you haven’t done anything yet. In the context of delivery apps, it also incentivizes blackmail.

Last thing I’ll point out - tipping is associated with racial and sex-based discrimination, and managers often pocket tips even though it’s technically illegal in most places. So even if you don’t mind it for any other reason, that alone should be enough to discourage it.
