For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.

All 6 rules of r/candlemaking
- No (Direct) Advertising
No outright advertising your products for sale whether you're a supplier or a crafter. This also applies to (technical) tools and services. Recommendations are still allowed if you have no affiliation. - Be Civil
Remember that this sub is for new and experienced candle makers alike. We all started somewhere, be kind to each other. - Safety first
We don’t allow posts/discussions about unsafe candle making practices. This includes but is not limited to flammables in candles, unsafe vessels and other unsafe practices/end products. - AI Content Policy
Do not post AI content if that content is the focus of your post, for example concepts or labels. If you have an AI logo, or label, on a candle but it isn't the focus of the post it is unlikely to be removed. - Post in the sub, not from another sub
Post straight into this sub. Posts posted to other subreddits by the same user (reposting) will be removed. - Put in some effort
Low effort posts with questions that have been asked over and over again will be deleted. Please use the search functionality
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- Unpublished minimums.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.
