What this page is

This page quotes r/c64's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-12. 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/c64'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 ($49 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

Welcome to the Community for everything and anything relating to the Commodore 64!

What its rules say about promotion

No Excessive or Unrelated Self‑Promotion / Channel Advertising
Promote the Commodore 64, not yourself and your own content. Sharing your own creations, such as homebrew games, demos, music, tools, artwork, or other personal C64 projects, is encouraged; however, this community isn’t for promoting your YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, or other channels for the sake of views or subscribers. Posts whose primary purpose is to promote a personal channel, stream, or brand will be removed.
No Selling or Valuation posts
No Selling or Valuation posts - Check recent sales on eBay or pricecharting.
Product Support Questions
This subreddit is not affiliated with Commodore International. All product and technical support requests made here are considered "community support" and do not initiate formal support tickets with Commodore International or any other user of the Commodore trademark. We also have no way to forward your requests or communications. Please contact Commodore International directly if you have a suggestion, complaint, or need support with your product.
Post Quality and "Low Effort" pots
Posts that are low quality, have only a title and no text, are unreadable, or other problems we deem to be unfit for the subreddit may be removed at the moderator's discretion. Examples of low-effort content include, but are not limited to: Posts with only a title and no body text, rhetorical questions, vague or clickbait titles, uninteresting crossposts, self-promotion, karma farming, unfunny memes (see meme rules), or if the content can't be determined without clicking on a link.

What its rules say about AI and bots

No AI-Generated Content (art, music, videos, text, etc).
We are not currently permitting posts about AI-generated art, "vibe coding", music, text, or "I asked ChatGPT about..." Limited discussion of using AI to help decompile/create C64/Amiga/etc-based code may be allowed at the mod team's discretion.
All 13 rules of r/c64
  1. Be nice.
    Be friendly. Assume good faith from other posters. Follow Reddiquette, be respectful of others. DO NOT troll each other. If you provoke someone into becoming nasty, then report them, you may end up being sanctioned as well.
  2. Stay on Topic
    Stay on Topic - Post about the C64. Posts about other Commodore computers (Amiga, C128, Plus/4, VIC-20, etc) belong in /r/commodore. Discussion on Mega65 belongs in /r/Mega65. Everything else belongs elsewhere. Moderators may use their discretion to remove submissions, comments, etc they feel are only tangentially-related or Commodore-adjacent topics.
  3. No Excessive or Unrelated Self‑Promotion / Channel Advertising
    Promote the Commodore 64, not yourself and your own content. Sharing your own creations, such as homebrew games, demos, music, tools, artwork, or other personal C64 projects, is encouraged; however, this community isn’t for promoting your YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, or other channels for the sake of views or subscribers. Posts whose primary purpose is to promote a personal channel, stream, or brand will be removed.
  4. No Selling or Valuation posts
    No Selling or Valuation posts - Check recent sales on eBay or pricecharting.
  5. No AI-Generated Content (art, music, videos, text, etc).
    We are not currently permitting posts about AI-generated art, "vibe coding", music, text, or "I asked ChatGPT about..." Limited discussion of using AI to help decompile/create C64/Amiga/etc-based code may be allowed at the mod team's discretion.
  6. Product Support Questions
    This subreddit is not affiliated with Commodore International. All product and technical support requests made here are considered "community support" and do not initiate formal support tickets with Commodore International or any other user of the Commodore trademark. We also have no way to forward your requests or communications. Please contact Commodore International directly if you have a suggestion, complaint, or need support with your product.
  7. Reposts and "Search First"
    We want the content here to be fresh and engaging. So, as a general courtesy to your fellow Redditors, if you are asking a question or looking for information please try searching first. This subreddit is not meant to replace good old internet research. Crowd-sourcing others to do your research for you is often considered rude and low-effort. Also, before posting, scroll back through the past few days to week of content to make sure you're not reposting something that has already been posted.
  8. Questions or Concerns about Removals
    If you have questions or concerns regarding the removal of your submission, comment, or post please contact the mod team using the action menu in the reddit mobile app, or using the "Message the Mods" button from the web-browser version on the subreddit sidebar. Do not submit follow-up posts or comments complaining about the removal of a post or comment. If your submission can be made rule-compliant, most mods are willing to assist you if you ask for assistance.
  9. Post Quality and "Low Effort" pots
    Posts that are low quality, have only a title and no text, are unreadable, or other problems we deem to be unfit for the subreddit may be removed at the moderator's discretion. Examples of low-effort content include, but are not limited to: Posts with only a title and no body text, rhetorical questions, vague or clickbait titles, uninteresting crossposts, self-promotion, karma farming, unfunny memes (see meme rules), or if the content can't be determined without clicking on a link.
  10. Memes and Humor should be posted sparingly
    Memes are allowed sparingly. They are not the primary focus of this subreddit, and repeatedly "testing" your meme-making skills or flooding the sub with memes will result in a ban. If your meme is removed, that doesn't mean "keep trying stupid!" Moderators may use their discretion to remove posts that are low-effort, inappropriate, unfunny, off-topic, or in poor taste.
  11. Posts, comments, and linked content must be in English.
    All posts and comments must be in English. Exceptions for linked content will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
  12. Brigading, Vote Manipulation, and Community Interference are prohibited.
    Users who participate in, or instigate brigading of posts or comments will be banned and reported to Reddit for site-wide action. Brigading is an organized attempt to interfere with a community. Encouraging followers or others to flood into this subreddit to downvote a comment they don't like, is an example of brigading. Using multiple accounts is vote manipulation and is likewise prohibited throughout Reddit. If you do either, you will be banned and reported to Reddit.
  13. Meta Posts (Discussions about moderation and the subreddit)
    Posts regarding subreddit moderation are considered "meta" posts and are allowed, provided they are written respectfully. Posts or comments only intended to complain or incite subreddit drama are not appropriate and will 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.
