What this page is

This page quotes r/kde's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-11. 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/kde'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 9 rules of r/kde

Respect the KDE Code of Conduct
To summarize: don't be a jerk, be cool with others. Basics of the KDECoC: * Be considerate * Be respectful * Be collaborative * Be pragmatic * Support others in the community * Get support from others in the community Note that we reserve the right to prevent the redistribution of content from creators that do not behave in accordance to KDE's values.
No duplicates
The same article should not be shared more than once.
No spam
This rule is related to post content. Unrelated content is considered spam. Blog posts that simply link to the original source are considered spam.

No blog spam
This rule is related to post frequency. Original content is allowed. Official news are always allowed. Basically, don't overpost for personal gain or similar purposes.
No screenshot of your desktop, use the Monthly Screenshot Thread instead
Showcasing your desktop is generally not allowed. Showcasing original content is always allowed (new functionality, your contributions, mockups, design issues, game records, visual representation of original textual content, etc.)
No comparison between desktop environments and/or distros
Posts comparing various desktop environments, and/or distros, or disparaging other Free Software projects are not authorized on r/kde. This subreddit is about the KDE community and not about pointless and unproductive flamewars between open source projects.
No misinformation
The spreading of misinformation and/or debunked conspiracy theories, such as climate change denialism, antivaxism, holocaust denialism, flat earthism, etc., will result in a deletion of the posts or comments and a permanent ban from r/kde.
No linking to Twitter/X from posts or comments
Comments or posts linking to Twitter/X will be removed. The poster will be informed and asked to provide an alternative source or a screenshot. Repeat offenders will be banned.
No memes, image macros, rage comics, overdone jokes
No images or trite tropes. Repeat offender will be banned.

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.
