What this page is

This page quotes r/AMA's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-08. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/AMA's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

What its rules say about promotion

Banned Topics
To reduce repetition and promote originality, the following common AMA topics are not allowed: drug use and recovery, mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions, Relationship or dating AMAs, Sexuality or gender identity-only AMAs, suicide, personal beliefs and religion, and venting or confession-style posts. We encourage everyone to share their stories, but the topic must stand out. Use your post to focus on experiences, not labels. Some topics may be allowed based on moderator discretion.

Advertisements Must Be Verified
Advertisements, promotions, and solicitations are permitted only as part of a verified AMA approved beforehand through modmail. Before posting, submit an AMA request by following the instructions on our [wiki page](https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/wiki/advertising/). Certain topics listed on the page are prohibited, and others may be rejected due to moderator discretion.

What its rules say about AI and bots

Post Quality
Posts must share meaningful experiences, unique perspectives, or interesting stories (for example, your job, achievements, or hobbies). AI Content is never allowed on our subreddit. Low effort posts, such as those without context, trivial topics like “I’m drunk,” or troll and joke content, will be removed. Posts created only to share personal opinions or spark controversy are not allowed.

All 11 rules of r/AMA

AMAs Only
This subreddit is exclusively for AMAs (Ask Me Anything). Avoid posting personal questions, advice requests, unrelated content. For other discussions, use a more suitable subreddit. Please keep post titles relevant to the topic of the post.
Be Civil
Any rude/harassing behavior or hate will be removed. Bigotry in any form such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and any other hatred of peoples will not be tolerated. Further action may be taken if needed. This is a zero tolerance policy.
Post Quality
Posts must share meaningful experiences, unique perspectives, or interesting stories (for example, your job, achievements, or hobbies). AI Content is never allowed on our subreddit. Low effort posts, such as those without context, trivial topics like “I’m drunk,” or troll and joke content, will be removed. Posts created only to share personal opinions or spark controversy are not allowed.
Stay On-Topic
AMA commenters are expected to ask genuine questions or make relevant remarks. Off-topic or non-question comments will be removed. The point of the subreddit is for users to ask and answer questions.
Host Participation
The original poster must answer questions within a reasonable time frame. Not all questions have to be answered but we want to see that OP is active in their thread. We generally give 3 hours, but if you say at the end of your post that you will answer at a later time then it won't be removed.
Banned Topics
To reduce repetition and promote originality, the following common AMA topics are not allowed: drug use and recovery, mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions, Relationship or dating AMAs, Sexuality or gender identity-only AMAs, suicide, personal beliefs and religion, and venting or confession-style posts. We encourage everyone to share their stories, but the topic must stand out. Use your post to focus on experiences, not labels. Some topics may be allowed based on moderator discretion.
No NSFW Content
NSFW content is not allowed in this subreddit. This includes sexual posts, references to sexual assault or abuse, and any other explicit or inappropriate material. The goal is to keep the community safe and appropriate for all users.
No Fake Stories
Do not make posts contradicting previous posts (ex: be 20 years old in one post and 30 years old in a previous post) or make posts that are obviously untrue (ex: I am a World War 1 veteran, AMA!) You may be asked by the mods through modmail for verification if a claim seems unbelievable.
No Duplicate or Common Posts
Posts that repeat the same short-term trend, event, or topic are subject to removal if they begin to overwhelm the subreddit. While individual experiences are welcome, we may limit posts that are excessively common or duplicative in order to keep content varied and engaging.
Advertisements Must Be Verified
Advertisements, promotions, and solicitations are permitted only as part of a verified AMA approved beforehand through modmail. Before posting, submit an AMA request by following the instructions on our [wiki page](https://www.reddit.com/r/AMA/wiki/advertising/). Certain topics listed on the page are prohibited, and others may be rejected due to moderator discretion.
English Only
Posts and comments must be written in English. This applies to the primary content of posts, titles, and comments. Occasional words or phrases in other languages are permitted when relevant to the discussion, but content written primarily in another language may be removed.

What the written rules don't show

Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
