What this page is
This page quotes r/sideloaded's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-07. 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/sideloaded'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 ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

What its rules say about promotion
No Advertising/Self-Promotion
You may share giveaways or discounts on your sideloading service if legitimate, but you may **not** post content that adds nothing, like “Check out XXXXX for cheap certificates and fast support.” Posts must be informative or relevant, not just promotional. If you are wondering if your post is allowed, send a modmail.
No re-selling/sharing developer accounts
You are not allowed to sell/resell/share (even for free) slots from developer accounts due to people being able to pull the money and scam you.
All 10 rules of r/sideloaded
- No iPA/App requests*
You may not request or distribute IPA files for App Store apps, including free ones, as this counts as piracy. Closed-source IPAs are also prohibited due to malware risk. Only open-source IPAs that are legal and safe may be shared. If providing an IPA, you should link to the official project or source repository rather than directly hosting or reuploading the file. - Posts must relate to Sideloading on Apple platforms
The primary focus of the subreddit is for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, macOS, and even watchOS sideloading. Sideloading on other platforms should go elsewhere. - No Advertising/Self-Promotion
You may share giveaways or discounts on your sideloading service if legitimate, but you may **not** post content that adds nothing, like “Check out XXXXX for cheap certificates and fast support.” Posts must be informative or relevant, not just promotional. If you are wondering if your post is allowed, send a modmail. - No re-selling/sharing developer accounts
You are not allowed to sell/resell/share (even for free) slots from developer accounts due to people being able to pull the money and scam you. - No NSFW Content
NSFW content is strictly prohibited, and will result in a permanent ban. - Do not spam!
Please don't repost the same post/comment multiple times. It's annoying and it really doesn't help anyone. - Do not post malicious apps
Do not post malicious apps. Apps that perform malicious or unexpected functions without the users consent will be removed and will result in an immediate ban. Only apps that can be posted are self-made, non-appstore apps. - No pirated content
No Piracy Discussion. Linking to piracy websites, subreddits, or sharing pirated content is not allowed. This includes base64 or similar. Discussion of piracy is not allowed. Violations will result in a removal on the first offense, removal + warning on the second, and a temporary or permanent ban on the third, depending on severity of the situation. Moviebox related things such as offering codes or requesting them are also not allowed. - Do not be rude!
Don't be rude. Like we said earlier, be respectful to everyone. - Drama & Exposé posts
Posts exposing people or companies must include proof, be cleared with mods via modmail, and give the subject a chance to respond. Do NOT spam your post multiple times to try to get your point across.
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.
