Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion is judged case by case. Promotion goes in unknown (unknown). Post flair is required.

  • Spam: Reddit's rules on spam and self-promotion will be followed. Submitting multiple posts in a short period of time or about the same topic will be considered to be spam and removed. Posts submitted to multiple subreddits or self promotion will be considered as spam and removed. These include repetitive posts about: convention photo ops, one-liner questions, merchandise "show-and-tells," artwork, etc. Please use album posts to showcase multiple photos and images.
  • Unrelated Content: All submissions must be about the television show Supernatural. Pets named after characters, street names, or an actor's work in another show/movie will be removed. Please refer to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernatural/comments/npwmhs/supernatural_actors_and_other_works/) for information about actors' other works. Posts and comments about the cast & crew's personal events and/or charity works are allowed. SPN easter eggs in other content are allowed as long as it is new.
  • Post Flairs: All posts must be flared with the appropriate season or content. Do not flair these posts as "News/Misc" or "Fanworks". Do not spoil any seasons past the posted flair. If OP is talking about Season 10 in the post, the flair should be labelled as "Season 10." With the show end of the show, any posts discussing future theories (like the prequel) should be flared as Season 15.
  • AI Created Content: AI-generated content is prohibited. This includes any posts or comments created by any AI programs including Midjourney, DALL-E, ChatGPT, etc. AI content can include text or images such as scripts/fanfiction, fan art, memes, questions, polls, videos, etc.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

What r/Supernatural's rules say about promotion

3 of 15 published rules mention promotion, advertising or spam. Quoted from the community's own rules page, not summarised.

  1. Low-effort/Low-quality Content

    rule 5 of 15

    Low-effort/Low posts are considered to not start a discussion. They will be removed at the discretion of the mods. These include: one-line posts, memes, polls/surveys, screenshots, bumper stickers, gifs, etc. AI-generated works including fanart, fanfiction, spam, and content will be removed. **Meme trends are prohibited.** These are posts posted to all fandom subreddits and social media.
  2. Reposts/Common Topics

    rule 7 of 15

Multiple submissions of the same artwork will be classified as spam. Album and fandom creation posts by the same submitter are limited to one post a week.

r/Supernatural — frequently asked

How many members does r/Supernatural have?

r/Supernatural has 382,347 members as of our most recent crawl on Sep 23. 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/Supernatural growing?

We don't have 30 days of snapshot history for r/Supernatural yet, so we're not going to invent a growth number. We've been tracking it since Sep 23; the chart fills in as history accumulates.

How active is r/Supernatural?

Around 17.1 posts per day, measured from the newest 100 posts on Reddit, which span 5.8 days. Posting rate matters more than subscriber count when you're deciding where to spend your time — it determines how long your comment stays visible.

When was r/Supernatural created?

r/Supernatural was founded in August 2008 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.

Who posts in r/Supernatural?

Of the last 100 posts we sampled, 96% came from distinct accounts; the newest was published Nov 6. A low share means a feed dominated by a handful of accounts (bots, mods, or one prolific poster) rather than a community.

Can I promote my product in r/Supernatural?

r/Supernatural publishes 15 rules and 3 of them address promotion. The first, “Low-effort/Low-quality Content”, says: Low-effort/Low posts are considered to not start a discussion. They will be removed at the discretion of the mods. These include: one-line posts, memes, polls/surveys, screenshots, bumper stickers, gifs, etc.… 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/Supernatural for mentions?

Hit Watch on this page. Prowlo starts crawling r/Supernatural 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/Supernatural's stats?

Yes. Everything on this page is one MCP tool call away: catalog_get_subreddit returns r/Supernatural's members, growth, promo tolerance and similar communities as typed JSON — free, no credits. Connect your agent to api.prowlo.com/mcp and it can vet the community and start watching it in the same conversation.
