No spam
Excessive promotion, spam, or advertising of any kind is not allowed.
App creators are welcome
You may post about an app you created, work on, represent, or are affiliated with. Just be honest about your connection to it. Clearly disclose your affiliation in the post. Do not pretend to be a regular user recommending your own product.

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
