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

All 8 rules of r/homebrew
- Include console name in your title
Please state what console the post relates to, as an example "[Wii U] [Title]" - Keep It On-topic.
This subreddit is dedicated to homebrewing consoles. For homemade beer please goto r/homebrewing - Don't be a jerk.
Keep it civilized! - No NSFW content.
Don't post anything that can't be viewed in a public workspace! - No piracy
Piracy is strictly forbidden in this subreddit. Any post containing references to or files that are designed with the intent to facilitate piracy will be removed as it is against the law. - Flair posts appropriately
Posts should have flair according to their content. Any unflaired posts will receive a reminder to flair them. When your issue has been resolved, please mark accordingly with the "solved" flair. - No material with the intent to cause harm.
Any content that was made with the intent to cause harm to property or people is strictly prohibited on this subreddit. Any violations of this rule will be subject to an indefinite ban. - AI slop spam
Visibly LLM-written posts, especially those promoting games or tools, are not allowed. Games/tools made entirely with LLMs with no visible sign of actual work put in by a creator are also not allowed.
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
