THE SHORT ANSWER

What is community discovery in Leadsgram?

Community discovery finds the subreddits, forums and online groups where the buyers for a given niche and market already ask questions, and reports each one with its size and an engagement guide. It is the research step that makes organic community marketing work without getting an account banned.

PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

How community discovery works

  1. STEP 01

    Name the niche and market

    For example 'D2C skincare, US' or 'construction software, UK'.

  2. STEP 02

    Communities are located and sized

    The job returns the forums, subreddits and groups discussing that niche, with an indication of size and buyer intent.

  3. STEP 03

    Read the engagement guide

    Each community comes with notes on how to take part usefully rather than posting a link and getting removed.

  4. STEP 04

    Feed it into content

    The questions people ask in those communities are the raw material for the title ideas and blog tools.

OUTPUT

What lands in your workspace

  • Community name and platform
  • Approximate size and activity
  • A buyer-intent read
  • An engagement guide per community

AFTER THE JOB

And then what

Results save into folders you can filter, tag and share with your team. From there you can export to CSV, or move the list straight into an email campaign that sends from your own verified domain — with the replies landing in a shared inbox rather than one person's mailbox.

Access is granted one tool at a time, so a teammate can hold community discovery and nothing else. See the full feature list for how permissions, folders and the vault fit together.

OPERATOR'S DESK

Community discovery questions

Does this post to the communities for me?

No, and deliberately. Automated posting is the fastest way to get a brand banned. The tool tells you where the conversation is and how each place expects to be approached; a human posts.

Does it work outside Reddit?

Yes. Reddit is one source; the job also surfaces standalone forums, industry groups and niche boards that often have far higher buyer intent than a large subreddit.
