r/claude rules, stats, and what to post

This is the community for Anthropic's generative AI model, Claude. People come here to talk about Claude itself, what it can do, and the company behind it. The rules make the scope clear: posts should be directly about Claude, its capabilities, or Anthropic. If a post would fit just as well on a general AI subreddit, the moderators say it belongs there instead. So the room is for people who use Claude, build with Claude, or follow Anthropic, and who want to discuss the model specifically rather than AI as a broad topic.

The rule that decides almost everything for a founder is “No Solicitation”. It says this is not a place to promote your product, service, or repo, and that any post whose intent is to redirect traffic to something you are affiliated with will be removed. The second rule to watch is “No usage, pricing, or outage spam.”, which holds those posts to a higher bar and removes low-effort repetition of already covered topics. The third is “No lazy crossposts.”, which says you must reproduce content from another community fully instead of just dropping a link. The fourth is “Keep posts Claude and Anthropic specific.”, which removes anything that would fit just as well on a general AI sub. Underneath all of these sits the Reddit Content Policy, which rule one tells you to abide by.

A good post here is directly about Claude or Anthropic and brings something new to the table. If you built something with Claude and want to talk about it, describe what you learned in the post itself, with real detail, and leave your link out entirely. If you want to share content from another community, reproduce it fully here rather than dropping a link. If your topic touches usage, pricing, or outages, check first whether it has already been covered, and only post if you have something genuinely new to say. The pattern that survives is simple: write the whole thing for this community, make it about Claude, and make it worth reading.

The fastest way to get removed is to post a link to your own product, service, or repo, or to write anything where the real goal is redirecting traffic to something you are affiliated with. Low-effort usage, pricing, and outage posts get removed too, especially the ones that have been covered a hundred times before. Lazy crossposts get removed, meaning a bare link to something from another community with nothing reproduced here. Off-topic posts get removed, meaning anything about AI in general that is not directly about Claude, its capabilities, or Anthropic. And like everywhere on Reddit, breaking the Reddit Content Policy is out.

What stands out to me is the “No usage, pricing, or outage spam.” rule, because it does not just ban a topic, it sets a bar: you can post about those things if you bring something new. That tells me this room is tired of noise but still open to real substance. If you have genuinely learned something from building with Claude, this could be a great place to share it, as long as your hands stay off the link button.
