Automate Reddit with Hermes

Hand Hermes one brief and it plans the whole week: drafting Reddit posts, scheduling them at the right times and reporting back when the queue is full.

Quick start

Install the CLI where Hermes executes commands, then hand over the Reddit plan in plain language.

Terminal
npm install -g postqueen
export POSTQUEEN_API_KEY=your_api_key
 
# A task for Hermes:
# "Plan next week on Reddit: draft five
# posts, schedule them and list
# what you queued"

What Hermes can run on Reddit

One brief, a full Reddit plan

Hermes breaks a goal into steps on its own: draft the posts, upload media, schedule each one and report back with what it queued for Reddit.

Windows that fit Reddit

Tell Hermes when your subreddits are busiest and it schedules posts into that window on Reddit, day after day, without reminders.

Community rules respected

Hermes targets the exact subreddits you choose and keeps every submission reviewable, so you can check each one against community rules first.

Drafts until you are ready

Ask Hermes for drafts only. They sit on the postqueen calendar unscheduled, so you can edit them and pick the time yourself, and nothing reaches your community members on Reddit until you do.

Three steps to a full queue

Step 1

Discover Reddit

Hermes calls postqueen to list your connected subreddits and sees what Reddit supports, so drafts start from real capabilities, not guesses.

Step 2

Draft with Hermes

Give it the brief. The agent writes Reddit-shaped posts and proposes publish times that match when your community members are around.

Step 3

Check and publish

Look over the queue on the postqueen calendar and change anything you want. postqueen publishes each post at its time, and Hermes can pull the results after.

What Reddit allows

Hermes reads these limits from postqueen before it composes, so a draft that would be rejected never reaches the queue.

Frequently asked questions

How does Hermes connect Reddit to postqueen?

Install the postqueen CLI where Hermes runs commands and export your API key. Every command returns JSON, so the agent can create, schedule and list Reddit posts reliably.

Can Hermes schedule Reddit posts at exact times?

Yes. Give it exact slots or a rule like mornings at nine and it sets publish times on the posts it creates, keeping your subreddits active on a steady rhythm.

Will Hermes publish to Reddit on its own?

Only if you ask it to. Tell it to save drafts and nothing is scheduled: the posts wait on the calendar until you set a time. Tell it to schedule, and they go out at the times you can see, which is the setup most people move to once they trust the output.

Can one brief cover Reddit and other channels too?

Yes. postqueen connects 30 channels, so Hermes can turn the same brief into Reddit posts plus adapted versions for every other channel you run.

Does Hermes access cost extra on postqueen?

No. The agent uses your regular API key and plan limits: unlimited posts on every plan, and channel counts from 5 on Creator up to uncapped on Ultimate.

What do I need to connect Reddit?

Just your Reddit account, authorized through the official OAuth flow. postqueen posts with exactly the permissions your account has, so you can submit anywhere Reddit lets you post and nowhere it does not.

When is the best time to post on a subreddit?

Each community has its own rhythm, so watch when discussion actually happens in your target subreddit and schedule into those windows. postqueen publishes at the exact minute you choose, which makes overnight slots for communities in other timezones painless.
