What its rules say about promotion
Relevancy and Formatting Guidelines
All posts must be about iPhones and must foster discussion. Posts may relate to announcements, news, tips, discussion, AMAs/promotions, apps or accessories. Ensure that your post is well formatted and has a descriptive title, not a sub for meme.. For more information, see our [Guidelines wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/wiki/guidelines) and [Flairs wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/iphonemods/wiki/flairs).
Use the 'What Should I Buy' thread
Posts related to buying or selling or trading iPhones, including shipping or pre-orders, are not allowed. Comment your query in the ['What should I buy?' thread](http://reddit.com/r/iphone/about/sticky?num=1) instead. Unique, discussion-worthy posts such as "I’m moving from the Pixel 6 to the 14 Pro, what should I expect?” may be approved.
Promotion & Spam Guidelines
Do not self-promote your own YouTube channels, videos, or blog posts. Refrain from posting news with minimal/recycled content. While we support developers, those wishing to promote their own app or post an AMA must [modmail us](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Fiphone) first. Please read [Reddit's self-promotion guidelines.](https://www.reddit.com/wiki/selfpromotion)

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- Unpublished minimums.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.
