It allows a post about it on its stated conditions · fits your product by name or subject
“Submitting your own original content is welcome on r/linux, but we do ask that you contribute more than just your own content to the subreddit as well as require you to interact with the comments of your submission.”
Its conditions, word for word:
- “We set that no more than 10% of your posts should be your content.”
- “Additionally, surveys for your blog/news source/paper/own use are not allowed.”
- “Please see: r/linux/wiki/rules/banneddomains”
Other requirements in its rules:
- “Posts should be submitted using the original source with the original title.”
- “Posts that are identified as either blog-spam, a link aggregator, or an otherwise low-effort website are to be removed.”
- “No misdirected links, login website, url shortener, and certain social media”
- “In short: if your link doesn't go right to the content it will be removed.”
- “URL shorteners and links that misdirect users to ads/jokes are also banned.”
- “No NSFW links or images without mod approval.”
All 10 of its rules for posts, word for word
- r/linux is not a support forum This is not a support forum! Head to or /r/linux4noobs for support or help. This includes common questions that may seem like a good discussion at first, but are posted too often here.
- No spamblog submissions Posts should be submitted using the original source with the original title. Posts that are identified as either blog-spam, a link aggregator, or an otherwise low-effort website are to be removed. Some reasons for removal are that they contain re-hosted content, usually paired with privacy-invading ads. If there's another discussion on the topic, the link is welcome to be submitted as a top-level comment to aid the previous discussion. Please see: r/linux/wiki/rules/banneddomains
- No memes, image macros, rage comics, overdone jokes Meme posts of any kind are not allowed in r/linux. Feel free to post over at /r/linuxmemes instead. This rule can also apply to comments, including overdone jokes, comment-chain jokes, or other redditisms that are popular elsewhere.
- Reddiquette, Trolling, *-isms, Poor Discussion or User Conduct r/linux asks all users to follow Reddiquette. Reddiquette is ever-changing, so a revisit once in a while is recommended. Top violations of this rule are trolling, starting a flamewar, or not "Remembering the human" aka being hostile or incredibly impolite. Additionally, sexism/racism/other isms are not allowed. See also: /r/linux/wiki/rules/userconduct. We also want you to reply to a related story before making your own post.
- Relevance to r/linux community / Promoting closed source applications over FOSS Posts should follow what the community likes: GNU, Linux kernel, developers of open-source software, or other applications on Linux. Take some time to get the feel of the subreddit if you're not sure!
- Spamming self-promotion, surveys, crowdfunding Submitting your own original content is welcome on r/linux, but we do ask that you contribute more than just your own content to the subreddit as well as require you to interact with the comments of your submission. We set that no more than 10% of your posts should be your content. Please be aware that this does not supersede other rules. Additionally, surveys for your blog/news source/paper/own use are not allowed. Please see /r/linux/wiki/rules/crowdfunding for those crowdfunding.
- No misdirected links, login website, url shortener, and certain social media In short: if your link doesn't go right to the content it will be removed. Sites that require a login to view the content are not allowed in r/linux. Example: A private Facebook post or a news organization that doesn't have free article views. URL shorteners and links that misdirect users to ads/jokes are also banned. See a list here, although the mods will make a decision on a per domain basis as needed: /r/linux/wiki/rules/banneddomains
- NSFW Image, links No NSFW links or images without mod approval. No discussion that is overly suggestive to what is normally considered NSFW.
- Non-useful Image Upload Images of "Linux in the wild", plushies, Tux, and more are not encouraged for posting as a top-level submission. If necessary, this can apply to comments too at mod discretion. The image/video upload feature is for posts regarding features/guides/etc. See also: Meme rule. This rule, like all rules, will be applied regardless of the number of upvotes a post/comment has.
- posting guidelines ###Rules - Make sure your post is relevant to r/linux! - This is not a support forum! Head to /r/linuxquestions, /r/linux4noobs, or other applicable subreddits for help. - Please submit the original article. Spamblog submissions are subject to removal and readers are encouraged to report them. See list of banned domains here: r/linux/wiki/settings/rules/banneddomains - No memes, image macros or rage comics - No trolling, harassing, or otherwise creating a poor discussion - No links to sites that require a login (i.e. Facebook), URL shorteners, or otherwise misdirecting users - No NSFW posts. - Urgent spam filter requests: Message the mods and include link

A contribution is a verified published post, comment or reply. Drafts and failed attempts do not count. Contributions share one allowance across your 30-day campaign; daily averages are a guide, subject to suitable conversations and community rules.

What you are hiring us to do
Useful work.
From the first search to the next reply.
Research the right conversations
We look for communities and discussions relevant to your business, read their current rules and identify where you can contribute something useful. We skip conversations that do not fit.
Write for your business
Your brief supplies the offer, audience, voice and facts. We write helpful original posts and comments that address what people are discussing, with a relevant business mention or link where allowed.
Publish and keep the record
We publish through the agreed Reddit account within your directions. Your workspace records verified publications and their links. A draft, a search or a failed attempt does not use your allowance.
Follow the conversation
We answer substantive responses, clarify what you offer and keep useful discussions moving. Research and reports (one closing report for Pilot, weekly for Starter and Growth) are included alongside your combined post, comment and reply allowance.
An example, not a customer result
A bookkeeping business, in a useful conversation.
Someone asks how to keep track of unpaid invoices. Your employee could explain a practical way to organize them, mention your service if it fits and the rules allow it, and answer a follow-up question. Your brief decides whether that answer names your business or includes a link. We do not promise that it produces a lead or sale.

The free Reddit plan
Use the lookup here to see relevant communities, their quoted rules and the conditions for posting. You can also request the researched plan by email. It is a starting point for work you choose to carry out; requesting it does not start a paid campaign or authorize us to publish for you.
Open the free lookup →Your managed AI employee
Hire ThreadFox to research, write, publish and follow up for one business over 7 days (Pilot) or 30 days (Starter and Growth). No customer AI subscription, software installation or computer left running is needed.

- Starter: $199 for 150 combined posts, comments and replies.
- Growth: $499 for 400 combined posts, comments and replies.
One payment plus applicable tax. No automatic renewal. Suitable opportunities and community rules determine the mix; daily figures are averages, not guaranteed daily minimums.
Choose your employee →A clear start after payment
- Share your name, business, email and optional details on the secure checkout page.
- Within 12 hours, we send follow-up questions or let you know an account is ready, with the option to start.
- We agree the brief, account access and start date. Your campaign days begin after setup; payment alone does not mean posting has started.
Use an account you authorize us to operate, or ask us to arrange and manage one for the campaign. We verify access before starting. Never send passwords or login codes in your brief.
One place to give directions
Your private control panel accepts plain-English requests. Change the audience, tone, offer, links or company-name preferences, and review the recorded work there.
“Focus on independent shops. Keep the replies useful and leave out links.”
A request is saved first and reviewed before the new direction is applied. You can pause upcoming work. Community rules and truthful affiliation still govern what we publish.
If suitable opportunities or account access prevent delivery, we report the gap. Undelivered work remains subject to the campaign terms and refund policy.
A little more clarity
Your employee.
Your questions.
What is Reddit, and why would my business use it?
Reddit is a collection of communities where people ask questions, compare products and look for help. ThreadFox finds conversations that fit your business and contributes something useful, so people can discover what you offer.
Do I need to install anything or pay for AI?
No. ThreadFox runs the service. You provide your business details and direction. You do not need a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, software installation or a computer left running.
Does every post link to my business?
You choose whether we use links and company mentions. We include them where the conversation and community rules allow. Some useful contributions work best without a link; we do not force promotional links into communities that prohibit them.
Whose Reddit account do you use?
Your authorized account, or a ThreadFox-arranged account agreed during setup. We confirm account access, community suitability and your instructions before starting.
What happens after I pay?
Share your name, business, email and brief on our checkout page. We follow up within 12 hours with any questions or the next setup steps. Your 30-day campaign begins after setup, not while we arrange access.
Can I change what my employee is doing?
Yes. Send directions from your customer workspace. Update your audience, offer, tone, links or priorities, and follow the work there.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. Look up communities on this page without buying anything. You can also request the researched plan by email. Hiring ThreadFox to carry out outreach is a separate purchase.
What if I already bought the toolkit?
Your purchase still has its own access and terms. Recover your existing purchase here, or contact support@threadfox.vip for help.
