Having recently released a free Android/iOS game I can tell you: 25k views on Reddit, 80 visits to my store page. 100 upvotes on Lemmy 600 views on the store.
Reddit is simply full with bots, upvotes mean nothing.
Well you’ve got some upvotes here so what’s the game?
You could just click on my user name :)
Yesterday was indie Sunday, again tons of views, but less interaction than Lemmy:
Those are insane ratios, I would never had guessed there would be that much of a difference!
i knew it was bad, but had no clue it was that bad
It's even worse: Popular subreddits like /r/games have a "at most 10% self promotion" rule, so 10% of your posts can be self-promotion. So I thought: Hey, my account is 14 years old or so, over 100k karma, I'll make a post about my game.
Got instantly taken down, they counted every single patch note post in my own subreddit to the rule. And then I noticed whenever I posted the direct iOS App Store link my post instantly got filtered, even in my own subreddit! The mods heavily pushed me towards buying Reddit ads.
