Why previewing a Reddit post matters
A draft can look fine in a doc and awkward inside Reddit. The preview shows the title, the Markdown body, the images and the vote layout in subreddit context, so you can catch a title that wraps badly or a wall of text before you submit.
Title, flair and Markdown in subreddit context
The title carries a Reddit post, and it is capped at 300 characters. Below it, the body is Markdown: bold, italic, lists and quotes render in the feed, but too much formatting reads like a landing page. Lead with context, keep links optional and add the flair the subreddit expects, then check the mobile view, because most Reddit reading happens fast on phones.
Reddit limits the preview checks
| Field | Limit | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Post title | 300 | the counter turns red past 300 |
| Text post body | 40,000 | written in Markdown |
