I lurked for weeks, did not try to sell anything and definitely learned how the community typically communicated before I made my first comment. Reddit is definitely not Hacker News which can be harsh but mostly fair.

Lurking for weeks is not being part of community.

sigh I was assuming you'd fill in the blanks. Join, lurk, upvote, comment, post. The process takes/took several months. My first post was not "buy this now!" it was "I built this for you, what do you think?" I couldn't have been more polite, respective and meek.

That is the problem, you think there is a process of getting into community.
You know like the rite of passage for sorority they make you drink something nasty and now you are one of them? That is just to make fun of people and see who is bigger looser that does what others ask him to do.
If you look at responses in this thread there are couple mods in there replying. They are bashing main post here as well. Because if you are not interested in growing community but just drive by dropping something that is not it. Just getting to know how they communicate seems like what psychopath would do.
Investing in process like that is never going to be a good business strategy. That is why most companies just pay the ads.
