What this page is
This page quotes r/Chatbots'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/Chatbots'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.

What its rules say about promotion
No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion
We are very strict on enforcing anti-spam rules. If you are not sure if your post qualifies as excessive self-promotion, send us a modmail to check. High-value projects (particularly open-source) may get a pass.

All 5 rules of r/Chatbots
- Be Respectful
Remember the human and be respectful when posting on r/chatbots. Disruptive behavior, personal harassment, and hate speech will not be tolerated. - No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion
We are very strict on enforcing anti-spam rules. If you are not sure if your post qualifies as excessive self-promotion, send us a modmail to check. High-value projects (particularly open-source) may get a pass. - No Low-Effort/Low-Quality Content
This includes highly AI-generated content. Subject to mod discretion. - No NSFW Content
Discussion of NSFW content is fine. However, please do not post NSFW images or overtly graphic text outputs, even with the NSFW tag. - Karma limit
You need at least 5 post karma to submit posts and 5 comment karma to post comments in this subreddit. We unfortunately had to implement this rule due to high spam from bots.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
