Reddit, rules first

Most Reddit promotion fails for the same reasons: the post ignores the community's rules, the same text goes to many subreddits, or nobody checks whether it was removed. Follow these steps every time.

Before writing

  1. Pick communities where your product answers a question people there already ask. Fit comes before size. With the ThreadFox Lite MCP server, find_communities lists candidates with their promotion rules flagged; account_check tells you whether your account is old enough and whether your recent posts are being hidden.
  2. Read each community's rules the day you post. With the ThreadFox Lite MCP server, call subreddit_rules; otherwise open https://www.reddit.com/r/<name>/about/rules and the sidebar.
  3. Look for: self-promotion limits (for example a 10% rule), a weekly promo thread, required flair, link bans, account age or karma minimums. If self-promotion isn't allowed, use the promo thread or don't post the link.

Writing

  1. Write a new title and body for each community. Never paste the same post twice.
  2. Say it's yours in the first lines ("I built this", "I'm with the team").
  3. Lead with something useful on its own: what you learned, real numbers, a how-to. The link is the footnote.

Posting

  1. Space posts out: minutes between them, never a burst of communities in one hour.
  2. Stay for the comments and answer real questions in the first few hours.

After posting

  1. Check at 1, 6 and 24 hours whether each post is still up (ThreadFox Lite: post_status).
  2. If a community removes you twice, stop posting there. Don't repost removed content.

Want the posting done for you?

The full ThreadFox kit gives Claude Code or Codex the tools to do all of this from your own Chrome: it reads the rules, writes a post that fits each community, publishes it, answers comments and keeps a ledger of every outcome. https://threadfox.vip
