What this page is

This page quotes r/vibecoding's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-04. 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/vibecoding'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.

its rules on Reddit

fully give in to the vibes. forget that the code even exists.

Where to post: Normal post about a vibe-coded project in 'here's the project; here's how I made it' format; vibe-coding dev tools/startups need mod approval first (via the X community), then one intro post

What it requires: Include educational content: tools used, process/workflow, code/design/build insights; bare link drops removed; dev tools/startups must be approved by mods via the Vibe Coding community on X before one 'shill' post, then only major feature updates; keep AI-generated text minimal

What its rules say about AI and bots

No low effort posts
AI code can be low effort and fun. But low effort posts and comments aren't fun to read. When posting and commenting, please keep your use of AI to a minimum. It's ok to use AI to help shape your thoughts, but fully generated AI slop isn't allowed. This is a place for humans who use AI to code. Not for bots to info dump.

Vibe coding dev tools must be approved
All vibe coding startups must first submit their tool for mod approval via the Vibe Coding Community on X.com. How to submit: * Join the Vibe Coding community on X: https://x.com/i/communities/1898129646782497027 * Create a post about your tool. * Our mod team will review it for value and relevance to the community. * If approved, we’ll DM you on X. * Once approved, you can do one "shill" post as a community introduction. * After that, only post major feature updates.
No shilling
We welcome posts about your vibe-coded projects — but they must include educational content explaining how you built it. This includes: * The tools you used * Your process and workflow * Any code, design, or build insights Not allowed: “Just dropping a link” with no details is considered low-effort promo and will be removed. Encouraged format: "Here’s the project; here’s how I made it." As new dev tools are approved, we’ll also add Reddit flairs so you can tag your projects with them.
No vibe coding pessimism
We’re banning anyone who does not engage with the concept of vibe coding constructively. Critique is constructive. Gatekeeping, insults, and fundamental pessimism about the practice of cresting software with little to no code review will warrant a permanent ban.
No assholes
Don't make us tap the sign

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.
