Posting rules, in plain words
Self-promotion is judged case by case.
- No Low-Effort Self-Promotion: You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value. Purely promotional links without context, "Build in Public" updates with no actual insights, and repetitive link-dropping will be removed. If you share your product, you must include the backstory, tech stack, revenue (if comfortable), or a specific lesson learned.
- Keep it high quality: Avoid vague motivational posts, generic "How to get rich", or links to paid courses/newsletters without prior mod approval.
Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

- — Offers specific, actionable advice or insights
- — Shares first-hand experience or results
- — Asks clarifying questions to encourage further discussion
- — Provides encouragement and validation to the original poster
- — Discloses affiliation or context when relevant

How active is r/microsaas?
We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/microsaas 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/microsaas created?
r/microsaas was founded in July 2017 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.

r/microsaas publishes 6 rules and 2 of them address promotion. The first, “No Low-Effort Self-Promotion”, says: You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value. Purely promotional links without context, "Build in Public" updates with no actual insights, and repetitive link-dropping will be removed.
