A realistic timeline for growing an aged account

There's no shortcut to a healthy account, but there is a rhythm. Here's the timeline we teach in the weekly lessons.

Week 1 - blend in

Change the email and password, enable 2FA, and just read. Comment a few times in the account's existing communities.

Weeks 2-4 - build cadence

Post on a human schedule, not in bursts.

• A few comments most days.
• One or two posts a week.
• Stay in-lane with the account's history.

Months 2-3 - expand carefully

Branch into adjacent subreddits once you have a steady footprint. Let engagement, not volume, drive growth.

What 'done' looks like

A believable account isn't the one with the most karma - it's the one whose activity looks indistinguishable from a real long-time user.
