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.

- its rules on Reddit
Someday, AI will likely be smarter than us; maybe so much so that it could radically reshape our world. We don't know how to encode human values in a computer, so it might not care about the same things as us. If it does not care about our well-being, its acquisition of resources or self-preservation efforts could lead to human extinction. Experts agree that this is one of the most challenging and important problems of our age. Other terms: Superintelligence, AI Safety, Alignment Problem, AGI
What its rules say about promotion
Stay on topic
Posts should be broadly relevant to AI Alignment & AGI/superintelligence. Politics/chauvinistic propaganda is prohibited. Advertising your AI "product" nobody cares about = instadelete + ban, but advertising events, projects/initiatives related to alignment itself is allowed. Be sure to read the full rules/posting instructions [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/ControlProblem/wiki/howtosubmit/); failing to follow them may result in a ban.

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
