lurk Turns Reddit Intent Into Open-Source Leads

lurk’s strongest idea is treating social listening as context-aware research rather than noisy keyword matching. Its open implementation makes the workflow inspectable, but self-hosting still requires careful data-privacy and usage-cost decisions.

• –Reads posts, comments, and community rules before scoring leads, producing an explanation and matching phrase.
• –Adds Reddit SEO, competitor tracking, pain themes, alerts, REST APIs, and read-only MCP access.
• –Staged triage and deeper judgment calls can reduce unnecessary model and data requests.
• –Never posts or sends DMs automatically, keeping human judgment in the outreach loop.
• –Reddit usernames and content may flow through third-party data and model providers, while self-hosting can remove fetch limits.
