What this page is
This page quotes r/GrowthHacking'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/GrowthHacking'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
No Self-Promotion
If you are sharing your blog post, product, podcast or video, make sure you have at least 100 Community Karma by engaging in the community. Low-value or low-effort posts will be deleted. Write unique summaries while sharing your blog, podcast or videos.
SaaS Products and Tools
If you're a founder or employee or marketer of a SaaS product looking to promote your tools, seek permission from the mod.
Seek Permission for Survey / Feedback / Beta Testing / Review
If you're asking members to participate in any Surveys / Feedback / Reviews / Beta Testing, ask permission of the moderator if you're collecting contact details of our members or asking them to DM. Also promoting your private groups / communities in the subreddit is not encouraged.
Link love for original and exclusive content
If you share a piece of original content, then you can link to your website or social media profile at the end of the post (one link only). This is allowed after you have 100 Community Karma.
We Discourage Black-hat Tactics
Inappropriate content is automatically filtered by Reddit. We don't endorse black-hat marketing tools or tactics, if found, they will be deleted.
Stay Topical
If posts are not oriented towards growth marketing/hacking, they will be removed.
No Crowdsourcing Ideas
Hire a consultant if you want someone to think of ways to grow your startup. This community is about sharing what experiments you have already run and the results. It is not for getting free ideas, consultation or suggestions for your product.

Links from TikTok and ProductHunt are banned unless approved by the mod team. Do not post anything related to any business that is offering Growth Hacking courses, training, mentorship, job boards, events, communities, etc. - Always be kind and respectful
Unlike other subreddits, at r/GrowthHacking we strongly encourage members to always be kind and respectful. If you try to throw shade and negativity, you will be banned.
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.
