Check the posting rules and self-promotion policy for any subreddit before you post. Avoid bans by understanding karma minimums, account age requirements, and content restrictions.
Without the 'r/' prefix is fine. Both 'r/SaaS' and 'SaaS' work. The tool fetches data live from Reddit's official API.
At the top, we surface common posting restrictions detected from the rule text: self-promo policy, karma minimums, account-age requirements, link policy, and required flair.
Each numbered rule comes straight from the moderators. Read carefully — signals are best-effort heuristics, but the actual rules are the source of truth.
Reddit's site-wide policies (collapsed at the bottom) apply everywhere on top of any subreddit-specific rules. Ignoring them can result in account-level action, not just a sub-level removal.
Reddit isn't a single platform — it's thousands of small communities, each with its own rules, norms, and moderation style. Posting in the wrong place, in the wrong way, or at the wrong time can get you removed, banned, or shadowbanned without warning.
Most subreddit bans aren't appealable. Moderators are volunteers, decisions are at their discretion, and reversals are rare. One rule violation can lock you out of an audience for years.
Many subreddits run AutoModerator scripts that auto-remove posts failing filters (low karma, new accounts, banned domains, missing flair). You see your post on your profile, but no one else does.
High-value subreddits (r/SaaS, r/Entrepreneur, r/marketing, most large communities) require some baseline karma or account age before letting you post. Posting too early just wastes your best content.
Some subreddits ban all self-promotion outright. Others have dedicated weekly threads (often Self-Promotion Saturday). Most expect you to follow Reddit's 9:1 / 10% rule. There is no universal standard.
We scan the rule text and the public subreddit description for common patterns — phrases like 'no self-promotion', 'X karma required', 'X days old', 'no external links', 'must have flair'. It's pattern matching against community-rule conventions, not perfect interpretation, so it's a starting point rather than the final word.
They flag the most common types of restrictions, but they can miss nuance — for example, a rule that's lenient most of the time but strict during a specific event. Always read the full rule text shown below the signals, and when in doubt, check the subreddit's wiki or message a moderator.
It's Reddit's site-wide guideline on self-promotion: at most 1 in 10 of your posts and comments should be self-promotional, with the other 9 being genuine engagement (helping others, contributing to discussions, sharing other people's content). Many subreddits enforce this strictly, even when their own rules don't say so.
They might rely entirely on Reddit's site-wide rules and moderator discretion. Smaller subs often have informal community norms that aren't written down. The absence of rules isn't a green light — it usually means moderators have wide latitude to remove anything they consider off-topic or low-effort.
No. Moderators have wide discretion and can remove posts they consider off-topic, low-effort, or against the spirit of the community — even if no specific rule was broken. Reading the rules dramatically reduces the risk of removal, but it doesn't eliminate it.
AutoModerator configurations are private to moderators. Some restrictions (like a hidden karma threshold or a list of banned domains) won't appear in the public rules at all — but our signal detection covers the most commonly mentioned ones, so it surfaces the majority of practical concerns for posters.
On desktop, click the subreddit name to open its sidebar — rules appear under 'Rules' or 'Community Rules'. On mobile, tap the 'About' tab. Our tool fetches the same data via Reddit's API so you don't have to switch contexts when checking multiple subreddits.
ReplyMine tracks your chosen subreddits and surfaces the high-intent posts where your product fits the conversation — so you reply where it matters, not where it gets removed.
Start free trialwebdev: reddit for web developers
A community dedicated to all things web development: both front-end and back-end. For more design-related questions, try /r/web_design.
Self-promotion appears to be restricted or banned. Read rules carefully before posting.
No vague product support questions (like "why is this plugin not working" or "how do I set up X"). For vague product support questions, please use communities relevant to that product for best results. Specific issues that follow rule 6 are allowed.
Do not post memes, screenshots of bad design, or jokes. Check out /r/ProgrammerHumor/ for this type of content.
Read and follow reddiquette; no excessive self-promotion. Please refer to the Reddit 9:1 rule when considering posting self promoting materials.
We do not allow any commercial promotion or solicitation. Violations can result in a ban.
Sharing your project, portfolio, or any other content that you want to either show off or request feedback on is limited to Showoff Saturday. If you post such content on any other day, it will be removed. Posts must be tagged with the correct flair. Commercial promotion still falls under rule #4 and is not allowed. Think project, not product. Focus on the technical details of your project and how it's relevant to the audience of the subreddit.
If you are asking for assistance on a problem, you are required to provide * Context of the problem * Research you have completed prior to requesting assistance * Problem you are attempting to solve with high specificity Questions in violation of this rule will be removed or locked.
Open-ended/general "how do I get started in web dev" and general Career related posts are only allowed within the pinned monthly career thread. The answer to many of these questions can also be found in the sub FAQ, or in /r/learnprogramming/ and /r/cscareerquestions/. Highly specific career/getting started assistance questions are allowed so long as they follow the required assistance post guidelines.
Low-effort posts/comments will be removed. This includes title-only posts, easily searchable questions, vague/open-ended discussion prompts, LLM generated content or hallucinations, and posts/comments that do not provide enough context for meaningful replies or discussion.
