What its rules say about promotion
Self-promo allowed (with substance)
You can promote your startup or project, but not as drive-by marketing. If you post promo, include at least: what you’re building, who it’s for, current stage/traction (even if it’s zero), what you want feedback on. Low-effort “check my project” posts get removed.
No referral links
Referral/affiliate links are removed. Don’t post links with tracking parameters like ref=, affiliate=, etc. Clean links are fine.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No spam / lead capture
No bot spam, mass-posting, low-effort promos, or engagement farming. Also no “DM me for details”, “join my group”, “click my invite link” style funnel posts. If it matters, post the details publicly.
All 8 rules of r/BlockchainStartups
- Follow Reddit rules
Reddit sitewide rules apply here. No illegal content, harassment, doxxing, scams, or anything that risks the community getting nuked. - Flair required
Every post must have a flair. Choose the flair that actually matches your post. Misleading flair = removal. - Don’t be a douchebag
Keep it respectful. No insults, harassment, slurs, or personal attacks. Heated debate is fine. Being abusive is not. - No spam / lead capture
No bot spam, mass-posting, low-effort promos, or engagement farming. Also no “DM me for details”, “join my group”, “click my invite link” style funnel posts. If it matters, post the details publicly. - Self-promo allowed (with substance)
You can promote your startup or project, but not as drive-by marketing. If you post promo, include at least: what you’re building, who it’s for, current stage/traction (even if it’s zero), what you want feedback on. Low-effort “check my project” posts get removed. - Verification required for some flairs
To keep the sub clean, some post types are gated behind Verified Human: Startup Promo, Token/Coin, Airdrop, Jobs. If you want to post in those categories, verify via the pinned post. Verified users get “Approved Submitter” and auto-approved posts. - No referral links
Referral/affiliate links are removed. Don’t post links with tracking parameters like ref=, affiliate=, etc. Clean links are fine. - Job post requirements
If you post a job or “looking for work”, include: role + type (full-time/contract), compensation (range or at least paid/unpaid), remote/location, how to apply (publicly, not DM-only).
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
