What r/juststart's rules say about promotion

6 of 10 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

  1. Text Posts

    rule 2 of 10

    Text posts are active to promote discussion. Any link needs to be accompanied by at least 200 characters.

    Removal reason shown to posters: Non-text post

  2. Self-Promotion

    rule 3 of 10

    No promoting your product or service. This includes "mastermind groups - Keep the discussion here so everyone can learn

    Removal reason shown to posters: self promotion

  3. No Buyers

  4. No Spoonfeeding

    rule 5 of 10

    se the search bar for general questions before posting. Basic questions have likely been answered before. If you have a specific question then ask away. But broad questions like "how do I make an affiliate website" will not be tolerated. Help us help you. More detail is better.

    Removal reason shown to posters: spoon feeding

  5. No Shitposts

    rule 7 of 10

    A shitpost is any post that is overly broad or pointless. There is already a sub that caters to these submissions. It's called r/entrepreneur. Examples: *What business can I start with $5? *Best affiliate podcast/book *Critique my website *Validate my niche *Can I outrank X website
  6. 10 comment karma needed to post

    rule 9 of 10

    10 comment karma is needed to post in r/juststart. Keeps the bots/spam out.

r/juststart — frequently asked

How many members does r/juststart have?

r/juststart has 180,767 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 9. Prowlo re-checks tracked communities on a rolling schedule, so this figure moves rather than sitting frozen at whatever it was when a scraper last ran.

Is r/juststart growing?

Over the last ≈33 days r/juststart changed by +0.5% — a gain of 985 members. We compare against the nearest snapshot we actually hold and state the real span rather than rounding it to a clean "30 days".

How active is r/juststart?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/juststart 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/juststart created?

r/juststart was founded in January 2016 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.

Can I promote my product in r/juststart?

r/juststart publishes 10 rules and 6 of them address promotion. The first, “Text Posts”, says: Text posts are active to promote discussion. Any link needs to be accompanied by at least 200 characters. Read the full rule text on this page and the community's rules page before posting — moderator enforcement is the thing that actually decides.

How do I monitor r/juststart for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/juststart into your Dataset — every new post indexed and embedded, searchable semantically, queryable by your AI agent over MCP, and able to trigger keyword alerts in Slack. Prowlo is read-only; it never posts on your behalf.

Can my AI agent read r/juststart's stats?
