What this page is
This page quotes r/ChatGPTCoding's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-24. 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/ChatGPTCoding'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.

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.

Use the right flair
Use the flair that best fits your post. Do not use a question or discussion post to indirectly promote a project.
No spam, scams, or access reselling
Do not post spam, scams, deceptive promotions, referral abuse, or offers to sell, trade, or distribute accounts, API keys, subscriptions, or model access.
No pure self-promotion / low-value project posts
Posts whose primary purpose is promoting a tool, product, service, GitHub repo, personal website, or blog belong in the weekly Self-Promotion thread. Delete the link: if nothing is left, it's an ad. Search for similar projects: if you can't tell why your project is better, it's a low-value project. GitHub links are fine. Personal website are not. Exception could be make for high quality posts.

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
