What this page is
This page quotes r/website'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/website'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 advertisements, spam, or referral links
Do not beg people to visit a website. Do not spam links or comments, and do not post links to websites that contain spam.
No self promotion (except in the self-promotion thread)
Self promotion is not allowed outside of the pinned self promotion thread, as otherwise posts become entirely about users advertising their own websites.
No shopping or commercial websites
Do not link to or post about commercial websites. This includes websites that are specifically meant to sell a product or service, such as e-commerce websites or website building services. Linking to common website builders (i.e. Squarespace, Wix) or website hosting services (i.e. Namecheap, Google Cloud) is accepted, but *only* in the context of helping others build a website. You may not advertise a website builder or other service as its own post, including your own service.
All 8 rules of r/website
- Titles must be highly descriptive
Titles should give a clear overview of what the post is about. Any simplistic or generic titles will be removed. - No advertisements, spam, or referral links
Do not beg people to visit a website. Do not spam links or comments, and do not post links to websites that contain spam. - No self promotion (except in the self-promotion thread)
Self promotion is not allowed outside of the pinned self promotion thread, as otherwise posts become entirely about users advertising their own websites. - No illegal or NSFW content
You may not link to, post, or comment illegal or NSFW (not safe for work/18+) content. - No shopping or commercial websites
Do not link to or post about commercial websites. This includes websites that are specifically meant to sell a product or service, such as e-commerce websites or website building services. Linking to common website builders (i.e. Squarespace, Wix) or website hosting services (i.e. Namecheap, Google Cloud) is accepted, but *only* in the context of helping others build a website. You may not advertise a website builder or other service as its own post, including your own service. - No politics
No politics or political websites are allowed. These always inevitably result in fights in the comments. - Be civil to each other
Don't insult or swear at other users. You can provide feedback for submissions while still being polite about it. - Search the subreddit before posting
Posting the same content repeatedly clutters the community and does not provide value. Search the subreddit using Reddit's built-in search or with Google to make sure you aren't repeating a post. Reposting content is not allowed.
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.
