What this page is
This page quotes r/UXDesign'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/UXDesign'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.

All 10 rules of r/UXDesign
- Questions about your individual job search go in the weekly stickied thread
If your question is about your personal job search or your feelings about the UX job market, it belongs in one of our stickied threads. We have two: one for entry-level and one for experienced practitioners. Use the entry-level thread for questions about breaking into the field, bootcamps, certifications, and your first job. Use the experienced thread if you have at least a few years of full-time experience and/or have held more than one role. - Your portfolio and resume are part of your job search and also belong in the stickied thread
If you would like feedback on your portfolio, a case study, or your resume, please post it to the weekly stickied threads. We have two: one for entry-level and one for experienced practitioners. - If you're asking for help, ask good questions and provide enough context
Describe the problem you're working on, any research you've done, the approaches you've considered, and what hasn't worked. Our community of practitioners wants to help you — help us give you a useful answer by asking specific, detailed questions. We won't help with homework assignments or class projects. - Promoting your product, service, tool, or anything for sale is not allowed
No marketing or self-promotion, including products, services, apps, plug-ins, tools, articles, books, newsletters, videos, podcasts, training, events, mentorship, cults of personality, or anything else that requires a fee, membership, registration, subscription, or disclosing personal information. - Job postings, job searches, and requests for free work are not allowed
We do not allow job postings or requests for collaborators or free work. We do not allow job searches or posting that that you are available to collaborate on projects. Try /r/forhire, /r/DesignJobs, r/uiuxdesignerjobs, or /r/jobs instead. - User Recruitment (including for surveys, polls, testers) is not allowed
We do not allow recruiting for research on the sub, which includes posting surveys, external polls, or questions designed to solicit early-stage product feedback. We do not allow recruiting for usability tests or beta testers. Automod will delete posts about surveys and polls; please contact us via Mod Mail if your post was wrongly removed. Try r/samplesize instead. - Inviting sub members to join a group, attend an event, or meet one-on-one is not allowed
Inviting sub members to join a group, or attend an event, or meet up individually, whether in-person or online, is not permitted. Organizers are not vetted and we do not want sub members put at risk. - Keep it on topic and professional
If your post is about something a person working in UX would do at their job, it's probably okay! We have a broad definition of UX, so posts about UI design, UX strategy, user research, information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, accessibility, and systems design are all appropriate topics. Posts about career advancement and working with other people are welcome. Posts about your personal job search will be redirected to a stickied thread. - Search before you post
Search the sub, Google, Bing, or an LLM before posting your question. Posts asking questions that have been answered many times on the sub will be removed. - Please be human
Be kind to other sub members. Don't post low-effort, AI-generated slop.
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.
