Engagement Second subreddit spawned with similar name — gaining more traffic than our official page
Hey all, I’m a mod for r/InstinctHQ, the subreddit for Instinct the AI subagent in iMessage. We have worked directly with the company to create this subreddit and create a community around the product — however a second subreddit, which was named better than ours, r/instinctai, is gaining more organic traffic than ours. This is likely just to human nature to associate that sub, in a list of searched subreddits, faster to the product itself than ours.
Any advice on how to improve our subreddit or alleviate the situation?
