What this page is
This page quotes r/copypasta's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-05. 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/copypasta'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 ($99 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
Racist content
Post or comment that discriminates or perpetuates racial stereotype. Can be seen in idea that is implied or agenda behind the content. Also applies to content that indirectly promote racists propaganda.
All 8 rules of r/copypasta
- No erotica
No erotica, sex stories, kink sharing, etc. Doesn't matter if they are posted in another sub or not, if the punchline is sex then YOU WILL GET BANNED. - Not a copypasta
Low effort content containing only a singular word, emoji or short statement. Also applies for content that is unironic, meaningless and unfunny (e.g., copy paste of Google's privacy policy, definition of Esports or description of a person). - Racist content
Post or comment that discriminates or perpetuates racial stereotype. Can be seen in idea that is implied or agenda behind the content. Also applies to content that indirectly promote racists propaganda. - If your posts are NSFW, tag them as such
Just tag your posts as NSFW if they contain any content that is 18+. Seriously though. It’s not hard. - Repost
Post that has already been made recently. We don't hold strict rules for when you can repost again, but if you are tired of seeing the same post over and over, report it. - Spam
Multiple posts within a short timeframe is not allowed. - Upvote Begging
Any post or comment that asks other users for upvotes. "For every x upvotes I will..." and "If this gets x upvotes I will..." are common formats. - No brigade pls
DO NOT organize raids to another subreddit, encourage other users to post a copypasta in another subreddit, or mention that you posted a copypasta in another subreddit. These types of messages can put r/copypasta in serious jeopardy.
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.
