r/flighty rules
4 rules, in the community's own words.
- 1
Be Nice
We expect you to be excellent to one another. If you are not being nice, you may be asked to leave.
- 2
Post Only About Flighty
Our community loves everything – but let’s keep things here limited to the app and app related usage. Spam, user farming, and constant self-promotion will be banned without warning.
- 3
No Links to Social Media
Posts cannot consist of a link to a social media site (i.e. X, Instagram, etc.) unless from our mod team.
- 4
Use Support for Support
The proper arena for specific support requests is our Help Center.
What to post in r/flighty
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A photo or video of a flight you tracked in Flighty, showing the map or the flight card.
- A genuine discussion of a Flighty feature you use, like how you plan a trip or follow a family member's flight.
- A helpful answer to another user's question about app related usage.
- A tip about getting more out of the app, framed as your own experience as a user.
- A screenshot of an interesting flight path, kept strictly about Flighty and flying.
Avoid
- Posting a link to your X or Instagram profile, since “No Links to Social Media” bans posts that consist of a social media link unless the mod team posted it.
- Announcing your own product or service, because “Post Only About Flighty” bans spam, user farming, and constant self-promotion without warning.
- Asking the community for help with a bug or account problem, since “Use Support for Support” sends specific support requests to the Help Center.
- Starting arguments or being rude in comments, because “Be Nice” says you may be asked to leave.
- Posting about flying in general or other flight tracking apps, since the rules limit the community to Flighty and app related usage.
- Treating the subreddit as a customer support channel, which the description itself redirects to the in-app Help Center.

What r/flighty Is For
r/flighty is the community for Flighty, which the description calls the world's most powerful and beautiful flight tracker. People here share flights, tips, and more, and the description spells out exactly what belongs: photos or videos of Flighty or flying, discussion of features, and helping each other with issues. The people posting are Flighty users who love tracking their trips, comparing flight paths, and showing off what the app can do. It is a fan and user community, not a general aviation forum, so everything should connect back to the app and app related usage.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide whether a post survives here. “Be Nice” sets the tone, and the rule says if you are not being nice, you may be asked to leave. “Post Only About Flighty” limits the community to the app and app related usage, and it warns that spam, user farming, and constant self-promotion will be banned without warning. “No Links to Social Media” says posts cannot consist of a link to a social media site like X or Instagram, unless the link comes from the mod team. “Use Support for Support” sends specific support requests to the Help Center in the app instead of the subreddit.
What To Post
A good post here is a photo or video of Flighty or of flying, a genuine discussion of a feature, or a helpful answer to another user's question about using the app. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, the honest play is to participate as a user first. Share a screenshot of a flight you tracked, talk about a feature you actually use, or answer someone's question about app related usage. Keep every post on topic, keep it friendly, and never turn your post into a pitch. If you have a real support issue, take it to the Help Center in the app rather than posting it here.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get banned is self-promotion, because “Post Only About Flighty” says spam, user farming, and constant self-promotion will be banned without warning, so there is no second chance. Do not post a link that consists of a social media site like X or Instagram, since “No Links to Social Media” only allows that from the mod team. Do not post support requests, because “Use Support for Support” directs those to the Help Center. And keep the tone friendly, because “Be Nice” means rudeness can get you asked to leave.
A note from Anthony
What stands out to me is how clearly this community separates conversation from support, with the Help Center named in both the description and the rules. That tells me the mods want the subreddit to stay a place for sharing flights and features, not a queue for tickets. If you love the app, that is actually good news, because a genuine post about how you use it fits right in.
