* Click the 'Join' button.
* Optional: Tap the **bell** to set notification frequency (we recommend **Low** which is Reddit's default).

:::tip[tips for posting]

* An **Image & Video** post will perform much better than a **Text** post.
* Try **crossposting** your PlayCanvas posts to related subreddits such as [WebGL](https://www.reddit.com/r/webgl/), [WebGPU](https://www.reddit.com/r/webgpu/) and [WebXR](https://www.reddit.com/r/WebXR/) - but always read each subreddit's rules first! To crosspost, select **Share** > **Repost** underneath your post, then choose the target community.
