What r/AppIdeas's rules say about promotion
3 of 6 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.
Posts must be App Ideas
rule 1 of 6
This subreddit is for posting app ideas. It doesn't have to be a fully formed idea, and the goal could be, for example, to share it, give it away, refine it through feedback, or look for people interested in discussing developing it, but there must be some defined app idea that the post is centrally about. The post can be about an idea you're working on developing, as long as it doesn't cross into self-promotion.
No Self-Promotion or Advertisements
rule 2 of 6
This subreddit is not for sharing completed projects or for advertising an existing or upcoming project. Posts that contain links to apps on app stores, invite people to join mailing lists for projects, or are otherwise promoting or advertising an existing or upcoming app will be removed. Note: If you use this subreddit to distribute or promote sideloaded apps (e.g. APK files for Android phones), in addition to your post being removed you will be banned.
6. Automod
rule 6 of 6
To prevent spam, only the accounts older than a month and above 50 of karma can post in our community. If not in those requirements, your post will be automatically removed. Thanks for your understanding
The other 3
- Always be Civil
- No Low-Effort AI Content
- Mod Discretion
Read from r/AppIdeas’s published rules on May 28. Communities change their rules without notice and enforce requirements (karma, account age, flair) that may live in the sidebar or automod rather than here — the source page is the authority.

r/AppIdeas — frequently asked
How many members does r/AppIdeas have?

How active is r/AppIdeas?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/AppIdeas yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.
When was r/AppIdeas created?
r/AppIdeas was founded in January 2011 and is a public — anyone can post community. Age matters: an older community with steady growth has survived Reddit's moderation churn; a young one with a spike may not.

It doesn't have to be a fully formed idea, and the goal could be, for example, to share it, give it away, refine it through feedback, or look for people interested in discussing… Read the full rule text on this page and the community's rules page before posting — moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.

Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
