Step 1: Subreddits

Choose the communities to monitor.

One subreddit per line (up to 10). Example: toronto, kitchener, ontario. New additions use the default listing below.

After you save new subreddits, give a250 a little time to build its thread cache. Initial backfill is currently limited to about 8 weeks of thread data per subreddit.

Map of Reddit

Explore related communities on the public map, then paste the subreddit names you want to monitor.

Step 2: Default subreddit listing

Pick whether you want new posts or trending listings.

Choose which listing to follow for saved subreddits: new (newest first), hot, rising, or top. This applies when you save the list above.

Targeting

Steps 3-5 tune how a250 scores posts. One phrase per line, up to 200 total. Review what the system has learned on Stats.

Website keyword scan

This is not exhaustive. It scans only the exact page you enter, whether it is your page or someone else's, then suggests starter keywords and a rough readability grade. One scan is allowed per minute.

Step 3: Important keywords Stronger boost Match big-margin business keywords or super sensitive topics that you want to defend or engage.
Step 4: Semi-important keywords Normal boost Use keywords you do not necessarily target directly, but that indicate something relevant may be in the thread.
Step 5: Definite exclusions Down-rank matches Exclude specific noise while still seeing important threads in noisy communities, such as services you do not offer or languages you do not support.

Maintenance

Automatic scoring continues in the background. Manual full rescoring remains a premium feature, but rebuild actions are available here on every instance.

Rescore posts

Re-run scoring on every post already stored in this node. Starting a new rescore now replaces any running rescore automatically.

Automatic scoring runs after retained-snapshot syncs and daily rebuilds. Manual full rescoring remains a premium feature, but node rebuild is available below on every instance.

Ingestion activity updates below show whether retained subreddit snapshots are currently syncing into this node.

Rebuild this node

Reset this instance's local data, restore saved subreddits and keywords, then resync from the live cache snapshot. Scores will be recomputed in the background after the sync completes.
