Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-09-18.
Works well
- Share a step by step mindmapping technique you used to break down a complex problem.
- Post a mindmap that shows how you explored a feature idea, and ask the community how they would approach it differently.
- Write about a brainstorming method you tried, what worked, and what you would change next time.
- Ask a specific question about how others use mindmapping to validate ideas before building.
Avoid
- Don't post links to your product without context or an invitation to discuss a mindmapping technique.
- Don't post off-topic content that has nothing to do with brainstorming, problem solving, or exploring ideas.
- Don't treat the subreddit as a billboard or press release feed for your startup.
What r/mindmapping Is For
This community is for people who use mindmapping to solve problems and explore ideas. It is a place to talk about brainstorming techniques and share ways to think through challenges visually.
What To Post
A good post here is one that shares a mindmapping technique or a brainstorming idea in a way that helps someone solve a problem. If you are a founder, you can talk about how you used mindmapping to work through a product decision or explore a new feature idea. Make the technique the star, not your product.
What To Avoid
Since there are no published rules, you have to read the room from the description alone. Avoid anything that drifts from mindmapping, brainstorming, problem solving, or exploring ideas. Don't drop a bare product link or a promotional pitch with no connection to how people think or map out ideas.

Common questions about r/mindmapping
Can I share links?
There are no published rules, so there is no stated ban on links, but you should share them only if they support a mindmapping technique or brainstorming idea you are discussing.
Is AI-generated content allowed?
There is no policy on AI content in the rules or description, so focus on whether your post helps people solve problems and explore ideas with mindmapping.
What gets a post removed here?
There are no published rules to quote, but the community expects posts to stay relevant to mindmapping brainstorming techniques and ideas.
