What this page is
This page quotes r/Blind's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-05. 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/Blind's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

What its rules say about promotion
No personal advertisements
In order to ensure a safe environment for all members of our community, we've chosen to disallow posts of a personal advertisement nature, including but not limited to crowd funding. We are unable to screen posters, and we discourage giving out your personal information over Reddit.
All 6 rules of r/Blind
- Posts and comments must be accessible
Writing descriptions is required for linked images, videos, and audio. Standard emoji are screen reader accessible and thus are allowed without descriptions, but avoid emoji spam. Audio content must be transcribed if it does not already have a transcript or accessible subtitles, and you must describe both the visuals and audio for videos you post. No Unicode Braille, sim Braille, or ASCII Braille are allowed in your messages, as they are also not fully screen reader accessible. - No out of topic content
Posts and comments must be related to vision impairment, blindness, and Accessibility. - No personal advertisements
In order to ensure a safe environment for all members of our community, we've chosen to disallow posts of a personal advertisement nature, including but not limited to crowd funding. We are unable to screen posters, and we discourage giving out your personal information over Reddit. - Respect Reddit rules & redditquette
Please familiarize yourself with the [official rules](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy). We will remove any posts violating reddit's official rules. Also consider the [OurBlind Community Guidelines](https://ourblind.com/comunity-guidelines/) point 5: Be Respectful. - No medical or Legal advice
Do not give medical or legal advice such as medication or supplements to take or medical treatments to undergo. Non-medical recommendations such as types of sunglasses or assistive tools are OK, and sharing your own experiences with treatments and surgeries is also acceptable, but we are not doctors and should not make medical recommendations. - Surveys, Research and Questions
Only surveys for Masters theses or higher are allowed. All surveys must include your full names, your school, and your supervisor info. **Contact the mods for approval.** No other surveys, projects or questions on products will be approved. Common questions such as “what makes X accessible,” “how to make blind characters,” are only accepted in mega-threads. Select surveys and research that are deemed to be important to the community will be pre-approved by the moderators on their initiative.
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.
