Tracking

Once something you approved is actually live on Reddit — a reply or an original post — /dashboard/tracking is where you watch how it's doing. It checks each one's score and reply/comment count every 30 seconds, alongside how the rest of the thread is moving.

RedBuster never posts anything automatically (unless you've turned on auto-post for a subreddit), so it also can't detect on its own when something goes live. You tell it by pasting the live Reddit link once someone in the managed account pool has posted it.

The lifecycle

Both replies (from the approval queue) and original posts (from Post ideas) follow the same path once approved:

The page has two sections for each content type — Comments and Posts — each split the same way:

  • Approved — waiting for your posted link. Shows up here the moment something's approved. Paste the comment or post's own permalink (its specific URL, not just the thread) to start tracking it.
  • Being tracked. Once a link is in, RedBuster shows its current score and reply/comment count, refreshed every 30 seconds, plus how the surrounding thread has moved since you posted.

Chasing #1 (comments only)

Every tracked comment shows a "Keep tracking for #1" switch. Turning it on surfaces the gap between your comment's score and the thread's current top-level top score — e.g. "+3 upvotes to reach #1" — recalculated every 30 seconds as the thread moves. Once you're at or ahead, that turns into a "You're #1 right now" badge instead.

This is read-only. RedBuster has no vote-casting capability of any kind — it only ever checks and reports the gap, never closes it. There's no equivalent gauge for posts: a post's visibility depends on subreddit-wide sort against every other post, not one thread's top comment, so there's no single number to chase.

Filtering by website

If your business has more than one connected website, a website filter appears at the top — pick one to narrow every section on the page to just that site, or leave it on "All websites."
