What this page is

Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/Bookkeeping'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.

The place for all things bookkeeping!

What its rules say about promotion

No self-promotion, advertising, or solicitation.
Do not post your own blog, website, app, whatever. This subreddit is for the discussion of bookkeeping, not for advertising or any other promotion, including posting affiliate/referral links. This rule extends to DM'ing users and/or asking users to DM you because of content they posted on this sub.

No commercial spam.
Discussion of commercial products, in context, is fine. Repeated low-value pointers to the web page for a product you're shilling is not.

Regarding AI: No AI-generated posts/comments, no AI apps, or anything about AI in general.
AI-generated posts/comments are not welcome here—we want genuine human interactions. No promotion of AI-based bookkeeping software (also see Rules 1 and 2), either. In general, if it's AI-something, r/Bookkeeping isn't the place for it.

Be respectful and polite - "Remember the human".
Calm, polite, adult behavior is the norm here. Name calling, abuse, racism, sexism, and the like will not be tolerated.
This subreddit is for discussion, not hiring or job seeking.
There are lots of places where you can find bookkeepers to hire, and look for jobs. This subreddit is not for that; it's for discussion. Posts that are simply looking for work or for employees/contractors will be removed.
Don't post "How do I get started in bookkeeping" questions or variations of it.
Sadly, we get a huge number of posts of the form "Hi, I'm a [baker / butcher / computer programmer / long-distance runner], but I've heard that bookkeeping is an easy way to MAKE MONEY FAST while working from home. How do I get started?" There are plenty of pages on the internet that will provide advice on this, but it's generally not an interesting topic to /r/Bookkeeping's members. Posts in this category will be removed.
Regarding AI: No AI-generated posts/comments, no AI apps, or anything about AI in general.
AI-generated posts/comments are not welcome here—we want genuine human interactions. No promotion of AI-based bookkeeping software (also see Rules 1 and 2), either. In general, if it's AI-something, r/Bookkeeping isn't the place for it.
No "research" questions for your software, online tool, etc.
Posts seeking information from users to be used in development of your software, online tool, etc. are not allowed. This includes questions like "what part of ____ do you find most challenging" and "what would you like to see in a tool that does ____". Breaking this rule may result in a permanent ban.
Specific software recommendations are beyond the scope of this subreddit.
/r/Bookkeeping is for the discussion of bookkeeping topics. This can include discussion about various bookkeeping software as they're used by bookkeepers in their day-to-day work, but questions from business owners (and their bookkeepers) about which bookkeeping software is the best for them are beyond the scope of r/Bookkeeping and will be removed if posted.
Moderators have discretion to remove submissions they feel are unsuitable for the sub.
The moderators of r/Bookkeeping have the discretion to remove submissions that don't directly violate any of the sub's rules but are otherwise unsuitable for the sub.

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.
