What this page is
This page quotes r/coding's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-26. 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/coding'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
Advertising
Advertisements are not allowed. Do not post your commercial software, your start-up project, or other tool for the sole purpose of getting sales or recognition. If you made something great worth sharing, that's one thing, but we constantly have to remove people's posts that are functionally just advertisements. Knock that shit off.
All 8 rules of r/coding
- No Discord links
Discord links - seriously, knock it off. Don't post them. - No tutorials
Tutorial video links - these are commonly spammed and abused. It's more of a judgement call, but in general, don't spam the subreddit with "How to learn to code" videos, please. - "I made this!" Post
"I made this!" - cool, I'm proud of you - but, seeing what you made doesn't intrinsically benefit others. If you write an article explaining it, the technical challenges, etc. - then share that! - No self-posts
Self-posts are not allowed here. Posting an irrelevant link for the express purpose of posting what amounts to a self/discussion post is not allowed. - No music
Do not post your shitty EDM playlist just because you like listening to it while programming. - Advertising
Advertisements are not allowed. Do not post your commercial software, your start-up project, or other tool for the sole purpose of getting sales or recognition. If you made something great worth sharing, that's one thing, but we constantly have to remove people's posts that are functionally just advertisements. Knock that shit off. - Homework
No homework questions. Seriously. - Stupid questions
Don't ask us what language to program your project in. Don't ask "how to start programming". This is a place to share meaningful content, not ask beginner questions.
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.
