What You Need to Know

01

How creators crosspost Instagram content to Reddit today

Effective workflow: download the original video or image file (before Instagram applies branding), check the target subreddit's rules for video posts and self-promotion limits, upload to Reddit as a direct media post (not a link to Instagram), write a post title that functions like a headline for that community specifically.

02

Make your Reddit post feel native

Reddit communities are among the most hostile environments for obviously repurposed content.

Three things determine whether a post feels native.

03

Skip the manual work with PostOnce

PostOnce handles Instagram-to-Reddit crossposting as a native media upload to the subreddits you specify.

When you post on Instagram, PostOnce picks up the image or video, removes the Instagram branding, and posts to the subreddit with the title template you configure.
