For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

This subreddit is dedicated to the theory, design and implementation of programming languages.

What its rules say about AI and bots

No vibe-coded projects/AI slop
Projects that rely on LLM generated output (code, documentation, etc) are not welcomed and will get you banned.

All 4 rules of r/ProgrammingLanguages

Posts must be related to programming language design and implementation
Posts unrelated to programming language design and implementation probably don't belong in this sub. **This subreddit is about programming language design, not programming per se.** If you want to learn about programming, please post to /r/AskProgramming or /r/LearnProgramming. If your post is any variation of "what language should I learn", "help me learn X language" or "what is the best programming language", it WILL be removed.
Be civil and respectful
While we encourage discussion, and yes, even disagreements, we require them to remain civil, respectful, and constructive. We don’t want you here if your behavior disrupts the community. Examples of disruptive behaviors include, but are not limited to: insults, threats, intimidation, discrimination, personal attacks, harassment, rudeness, doxing, excessive negativity, spamming, trolling, excessive melodrama, and sexualized attention.
No low effort posts, memes, rants, etc
Put some effort into your posts, this isn't Quora or a replacement for a search engine. If you can't spend 5 minutes doing some research, /r/ProgrammingLanguages isn't the place for your post.
No vibe-coded projects/AI slop
Projects that rely on LLM generated output (code, documentation, etc) are not welcomed and will get you 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Unpublished minimums.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.
