Rule summary

  • Be respectful and kind: No harassment, personal attacks, or hate speech. Keep the community welcoming.
  • Follow Reddit global rules: All interactions still need to follow Reddit sitewide policies.
  • Engage with good intent: Approach discussions with openness and a desire to help others succeed.
  • Show the real journey: The community fits raw founder updates better than polished guru content.

Works well

  • Build-in-public updates with decisions, tradeoffs, and numbers.
  • Founder ride-alongs that show progress over time.
  • Honest lessons from launches, failed experiments, operations, or growth work.
  • Helpful comments on other founders journeys before sharing your own.

Avoid

  • Guru-style threads with no real operating detail.
  • Hidden product pitches or sales funnels.
  • Attacking founders who share vulnerable progress.
  • Empty motivational content without a business story.
