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

All 8 rules of r/comics

Don't attack artists posting their content.
It's not ok to attack artists with hateful comments meant to tear them down or try to chase them off Reddit.
No drama or trolling. No Hateful content.
Don't make drama for drama's sake. No trolling. Anyone wanting to participate in this community needs to keep their comments civil. Any posts/comments that are racist, mysogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, misinformation or extremist in nature will be removed and will result in an immediate ban.
Do not abuse the [OC] system
Respect the [OC] System. The [OC] tag is for artists wanting to submit their Original Content. False claims on others' art will get you banned. Don't link to rehosted or hotlinked comics.
Tag NSFW content when needed.
Content with full frontal nudity, extreme gore, or excessive profanity should be tagged as NSFW.
Piracy
Don't post links to download complete, pirated comic books. please support comics by buying them.
Cite Sources

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Unpublished minimums.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.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
