What this page is

This page quotes r/n8n'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/n8n's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.

What its rules say about promotion

No Self-Promotion or Advertising
Do not promote your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms. If you built something with n8n and want to share it, use the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code. Posts that exist primarily to drive traffic to your product or service will be removed.
No Business, Agency, or Client-Related Posts
This is a technical subreddit focused on building with n8n — not on how to monetize it. Posts about starting an agency, finding clients, pricing your services, business models, or "how do I sell automation" are off-topic. We encourage users interested in the business side to head over to subreddits dedicated to entrepreneurship, freelancing, or consulting.

No AI Slop
No AI Slop
All 11 rules of r/n8n
  1. No Spam & No Clickbait

  2. No AI Slop
    No AI Slop
  3. No Self-Promotion or Advertising
    Do not promote your own tools, SaaS products, paid services, courses, or platforms. If you built something with n8n and want to share it, use the Workflow - Github Included flair and include the code. Posts that exist primarily to drive traffic to your product or service will be removed.
  4. No Business, Agency, or Client-Related Posts
    This is a technical subreddit focused on building with n8n — not on how to monetize it. Posts about starting an agency, finding clients, pricing your services, business models, or "how do I sell automation" are off-topic. We encourage users interested in the business side to head over to subreddits dedicated to entrepreneurship, freelancing, or consulting.
  5. No Links to Paid Workflows, Paid Communities, or Signup-Required Content
    This includes but is not limited to Gumroad, Skool, paid Discord servers, and communities that are free to join but require a signup. No "DM me for workflow," no "comment here for the link," no email signups for templates. If you're sharing a workflow, share it publicly using an approved method.
  6. Recruiting and Hiring
    You must share your Company Name and Website. If you do not have a company or website, you must include your LinkedIn profile. If there is a reason you can't do this publicly, message the mods for approval. A project description is required — low effort on this piece could lead to removal of the post.
  7. All Workflow and Video Posts Must Include the Code
    If you're sharing a workflow — whether as a post, screenshot, or video — the code must be included directly in the Reddit post. Acceptable ways to share: Github Repository Github Gist n8n.io/workflows/ Sharing the code any other way is not allowed. Posts without a link to the code will be automatically removed. Screenshots alone do not count.
  8. No Google Drive or Google Docs Links
    Google links frequently become inaccessible or require permissions that make them unreliable for the community. Use one of the approved sharing methods listed in Rule 6 instead.
  9. Use the Correct Post Flair
    All posts must use the appropriate flair. Posts that use the wrong flair to sidestep rules (e.g., posting a workflow under Meta/News to avoid code-sharing requirements) will be removed.
  10. Low Quality or Off Topic
    Low quality and off-topic posts are subject to removal at moderator discretion.
  11. Keep it civil
    Be respectful. No personal attacks, harassment, or hostile behavior.

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.
