r/LaunchMyStartup rules, stats, and what to post

What r/LaunchMyStartup Is For

Reddit describes r/LaunchMyStartup this way: Welcome to LaunchMyStartup! This is where founders launch their cool new projects and get real feedback from other builders. No BS, no gatekeeping - just a place to show what you've made. Got something brewing? Share it here. Looking for the next big thing? You'll find fresh projects from indie makers, startups, and...

For Rankhog planning, treat it as a place for SaaS building, product, pricing, early traction, customer learning, and founder operations. Use the source description and the visible rule list before deciding whether a startup post belongs there.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The fetched old Reddit rules include "Include Media with Launch". The fetched public rules do not expose a promotion-specific rule. That is not permission to pitch; it means the post still has to fit the community context and every listed rule.

What To Post

A strong post gives the community something to answer, inspect, or learn from before it asks for attention. Bring the audience, stage, constraint, what you tried, and the exact question.

Good fits include:

• Posts that match the community context: Welcome to LaunchMyStartup! This is where founders launch their cool new projects and get real feedback from other builders. No BS,...
• Specific questions or lessons about SaaS building, product, pricing, early traction, customer learning, and founder operations, with enough context for useful replies.
• Share a SaaS operating lesson with numbers, constraints, and what changed.

What To Avoid

Do not use r/LaunchMyStartup as a cold launch channel. The safest draft should still make sense if the company name, product URL, and call to action are removed.

Watch for:

• Off-topic posts that do not fit the visible community context or SaaS building, product, pricing, early traction, customer learning, and founder operations.
• Posts that ignore "Include Media with Launch": All launch posts must include at least one image or video showcasing your product/project (screenshots, demos, logos, etc.) along with your text...
• Default startup promotion patterns such as link-only launches, DM requests, repeated pitches, or product pitches, launch links, beta funnels, and founder hype.

Rankhog Notes

Use this page as a pre-flight check. If the rule note and the community description do not support the post, choose another subreddit or turn the idea into a comment, lesson, or question first.
