What this page is
This page quotes r/soundcloud's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-06. 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/soundcloud'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
Misusing Flair
Discussion posts are for discussion not promotion or feedback. Collaboration posts need context
Musical Content
We only allow soundcloud links for music promotion. Exceptions will be individually approved e.g. review streams
No illegal activities or software
Software or websites that download music are not allowed to be promoted here
No Promo/referral Codes
We don't want that kind of spam and too much of it will cause the sc domain to get blacklisted. No referrals for anything else either.
What its rules say about AI and bots

All 15 rules of r/soundcloud

Content need to be in English for inclusivity. Use google translate or chatgpt - Stats Posts
No, "is this good" stats posts allowed. If you have a different genuine question it may be allowed - No Ai Brigading
Ai. Some people like it some people hate it. It's out there and you can't stop it. No posts allowed calling out specific Ai music/tracks - Discussions about the merits will be allowed and locked when the inevitable name calling starts. - AMA
AMA posts must include a proof picture. Follow these guidelines: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/wiki/proof/ AI generated proofs not allowed - Like4Like or other similar posts
Too much liking can get your account banned or restricted. For this reason we don't allow Like 4 like or other similar quid pro quo posts. Additionally do not copy the daily thread or start your own megathreads. - Keep the Discussion Soundcloud Related
All topics must relate to Soundcloud directly or tangentially. - Misusing Flair
Discussion posts are for discussion not promotion or feedback. Collaboration posts need context - Musical Content
We only allow soundcloud links for music promotion. Exceptions will be individually approved e.g. review streams - No illegal activities or software
Software or websites that download music are not allowed to be promoted here - No Promo/referral Codes
We don't want that kind of spam and too much of it will cause the sc domain to get blacklisted. No referrals for anything else either. - User Flair
You may put your artist name or soundcloud handle as your User Flair - other content may lead to a temporary ban. - No Help me find posts
Help me find posts get almost no traction and as such we don't want them here. Try on the subreddit of the genre instead - Link Spam
Accounts that just spam link posts and never contribute otherwise may be banned by the bot bouncer. We won't be overturning these bans - Mod Rights
Moderators reserve the right to remove any content we don't want here. Reasons may be given
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.
