Copyable template library

Reddit comment templates

Reddit comment templates should answer the thread before mentioning a product, profile, or resource. Use templates that add context, caveats, tradeoffs, and practical steps. If the comment cannot stand on its own after the CTA is removed, it is not ready for Reddit. TypeToSell keeps Reddit drafts useful-first and manually posted.

Template groups

Copy the structure, then add the real post context

Use when the thread asks for help, advice, or a practical distinction.

Answer-first comment

I would separate [thing A] from [thing B] first. The fix is different depending on which one is causing the pain.

The least risky starting point is [practical step]. I would avoid [common mistake] until [condition].

A useful way to think about it: [framework]. It keeps you from over-solving [secondary problem].

Use when the thread has strong opinions and needs nuance.

Caveat and tradeoff

This can work, but only if [condition]. Otherwise it usually creates [risk].

The tradeoff is [benefit] versus [cost]. I would choose based on [decision factor].

One caveat: [warning]. If that does not apply, then [recommendation] is probably fine.

Use only after the comment already answers the thread.

Low-pressure resource mention

I have a checklist for this if you want it, but the short version is [summary].

Not sure if links are welcome here, so the practical version is [step 1] and [step 2].

I work on this problem, so bias noted. The non-sales answer is [useful answer].

Usage steps

How to use these templates safely

Start with the source post

Read the visible post, comment, or thread first. A template should shape the reply, not replace context.

Choose one intent

Pick trust, conversation, soft CTA, or manual approval instead of blending every goal into one generic reply.

Replace every bracket

Swap placeholders for a specific observation, objection, audience, problem, example, or natural next step.

Post manually

TypeToSell can draft, copy, or insert selected editable text, but the user still presses Reply, Post, or Comment manually.

Mobile fit

Where this template belongs in the mobile roadmap

Mobile web + share/copy

Use the template to shorten phone drafts and prove selected copy behavior before native keyboard work.

Android ReplyPilot Keyboard

Use template slots as insertion patterns only after Android users already choose useful drafts and want less copy-back friction.

iOS keyboard + Share Extension

Use templates to separate source context handoff from selected draft placement, with copy fallback kept valid.

Safari iOS and Firefox Android

Use templates as browser-session fallback content; do not treat them as proof that native app composers are solved.

Quick answers

Template questions

How do you make Reddit templates less spammy?

Answer the question first, disclose bias when relevant, and make the comment useful without a CTA.

Can Reddit templates mention a product?

Only when it is relevant and after the comment provides standalone value.

Does TypeToSell need Reddit OAuth?

No. The core workflow does not ask for Reddit OAuth or social passwords.
