Does adding website links in subreddit posts hurt or help for SEO?

I see people promoting their website links on subreddit posts. I sometimes do post links too, but it is just for adking for feedback or when I see topics discussing things that fit my website content. Does anyone have SEO benefits from adding your website link on a subreddit post or not?

Discovered - not currently indexed

My site has been in development for some time during which there were periods it was down.

the site was launched a month ago and has an SEO score of 90/100. I checked Google search console and it showed almost all my pages except the home page as "Discovered - currently not indexed"

What can I do to fix this? I clicked on "Validate Fix" but it's been over 2 weeks and it's still "validating"

Does SEO feel kind of random lately?

I have been trying different things and honestly I can’t tell what’s actually working.

Some things should work… but don’t

some things randomly do

even when everything looks “right” to me

It feels like their is something behind the scenes you’re not seeing.

For people getting consistent results — what are you actually focusing on?

Unpopular opinion: 80% of SEO tasks don't move the needle

Most SEO task is just noise.

Keyword stuffing headers. Publishing blogs nobody searches for. Fixing meta title & description on pages with zero impressions.Google ranks pages that best answer intent. That's it.

Find the 6-7 pages that actually convert. Make those perfect. Everything else is a distraction and timepass

Two backlinks from the same DA41 source - worth it or too diluted?

I have a new website (DA below 10) and next week a DA41 website will publish an article linking back to it. This will be my first quality backlink.

I'm trying to decide on the best strategy:

  1. One link to my homepage only
  2. One link to my homepage + one link to a blog post

My goal is to build authority for both my homepage and blog posts - but I don't want the authority to be diluted or negatively impact my SEO.

What would you recommend for a new site in this situation?

What’s one piece of "standard" SEO advice that turned out to be a total waste of time for you?

I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail lately. I’ve followed the "standard playbook" to a T, but the results just aren't matching the effort.

I’m tired of the theoretical checklists. I want to know what actually matters when the rubber meets the road.
