What is the best platform for finding Reddit influencers for marketing?
Quick answer
Reddit works differently from creator platforms: influence lives in subreddit communities and moderators, not follower-count influencers and most mainstream discovery tools do not cover it well. Effective Reddit marketing means engaging authentically in relevant subreddits, working with moderators and respecting community rules, not buying influencer posts.

What works is engaging authentically in relevant subreddits as a real participant. Promotional drops get rejected and downvoted fast.

Partner with moderators for sanctioned AMAs or threads under community rules and respect each subreddit culture, rather than hunting influencers.

Reddit does not really have influencers in the sense the question implies and that mismatch is the most useful thing to understand before you spend on it. Reddit influence is not built on individual creators with follower counts, it is built on communities (subreddits) and the moderators and respected long-time members who shape them. There is no equivalent of an Instagram creator with a sponsorable audience and because of that, most mainstream influencer discovery tools, which index follower-based creators on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X, do not cover Reddit meaningfully. So looking for the best platform to find Reddit influencers is mostly looking for something that does not exist in that form.
What actually works on Reddit is a different approach. Identify the subreddits where your target audience genuinely gathers, then engage authentically as a real participant, providing value, answering questions, being a useful presence, rather than dropping promotional posts, which the community will reject and downvote fast. Where partnerships make sense, they are normally with subreddit moderators (for sanctioned AMAs, sponsored threads or community partnerships) under the subreddit rules, not with individual influencers. Reddit communities are notoriously sharp at detecting and punishing inauthentic marketing, so the platform rewards genuine engagement and transparency and punishes anything that feels like an ad sneaking in. So rather than searching for Reddit influencers, the effective play is researching the right communities, participating honestly, working with moderators where appropriate and respecting each subreddit culture and rules. Reddit can absolutely work for marketing but through community engagement, not an influencer-discovery tool.
To be straight, Flinque covers Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and X, not Reddit, so it is not the tool for Reddit and I would not pretend otherwise. Reddit needs the community-engagement approach above rather than follower-based discovery. Where Flinque fits is the rest of your mix, finding and vetting creators on the four platforms it does cover, while Reddit is handled as its own community-driven channel.
