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

What its rules say about promotion
Limit promotional posts
If you own a resource related to learning Russian, you can promote it with a post. However, you must follow these rules: - No more than one promo post every 14 days. - Engage with the community in other ways, too. - Promoted resources must be relevant to Russian learners. - Dishonest promotional content isn't allowed. - Make at least a portion of your resource available for free. - If you are offering tutoring, you can only post in the "Tutor Tuesday" post that is posted every two weeks.
No discussion of piracy
Don’t request or provide access to unauthorized copies of books, films, music, and other copyrighted works. This includes, but is not limited to, asking for or posting links to free PDFs of commercial textbooks. These posts will be removed, and multiple violations of this rule may result in a ban.
What its rules say about AI and bots
Avoid low-effort comments
Comments that are unhelpful or do not contain information that the post author couldn't have found on their own will be removed. This includes comments with copied machine translations or generative AI responses, as well as answers like "I don't know". This does not mean that comments always have to strictly answer the posted question: additional information, responses to other comments, and general discussion of the topic are all productive ways to advance the conversation.
All 8 rules of r/russian
- No politics
Political content (comment or post) with no relevance to the Russian language will be removed, and **users who post this content will be banned**. /r/russian isn’t the place to post about current events in Russia or other Russian-speaking countries. Discussions about language policy topics, like Russian orthographical reforms and the status of Russian as an official language, are fine. - Be civil
Personal attacks and other forms of disrespectful conduct aren’t allowed. This includes harassing users elsewhere on Reddit as a result of a disagreement in this subreddit. Disrespectful posts and comments will be removed and may result in a ban. - Focus on the Russian language
/r/russian is a language-learning subreddit, not a place to post anything and everything in Russian. We welcome questions from learners about Russian-language content and works of art, including articles, YouTube videos, music, novels, and films. However, Russian-language content with no educational context will be removed. - Limit promotional posts
If you own a resource related to learning Russian, you can promote it with a post. However, you must follow these rules: - No more than one promo post every 14 days. - Engage with the community in other ways, too. - Promoted resources must be relevant to Russian learners. - Dishonest promotional content isn't allowed. - Make at least a portion of your resource available for free. - If you are offering tutoring, you can only post in the "Tutor Tuesday" post that is posted every two weeks. - No discussion of piracy
Don’t request or provide access to unauthorized copies of books, films, music, and other copyrighted works. This includes, but is not limited to, asking for or posting links to free PDFs of commercial textbooks. These posts will be removed, and multiple violations of this rule may result in a ban. - No unethical requests
If you're studying Russian in school and need help with your homework or exams, don’t ask others to simply do the work for you. These requests are unethical and will be removed. However, questions about work you've already done are completely appropriate (and even encouraged). - Do not deceive the moderators
Please respect the rules above and participate in good faith. If you try to circumvent the rules through deception, such as by pretending to be a learner, you may be temporarily or permanently banned from the subreddit. - Avoid low-effort comments
Comments that are unhelpful or do not contain information that the post author couldn't have found on their own will be removed. This includes comments with copied machine translations or generative AI responses, as well as answers like "I don't know". This does not mean that comments always have to strictly answer the posted question: additional information, responses to other comments, and general discussion of the topic are all productive ways to advance the conversation.
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.
