Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- No self-promotion or spam: Self-promotion is restricted, with narrow exceptions such as designated show-and-tell threads.
- Career questions go in the quarterly thread: Resume, interview, and career-transition questions belong in recurring career threads.
- No product or academic research: Product research, surveys, and research requests need the correct place or approval.
- No AI-generated posts: Top-level posts and comments generated by AI are not allowed.
- Moderators remove low-quality or off-topic posts: Posts need to contribute to product management practice.
Works well
- Questions about discovery, prioritization, roadmaps, stakeholder management, metrics, or product strategy.
- Founder questions framed through product decision-making rather than promotion.
- Detailed tradeoffs with market, user, and constraint context.
- Lessons from product process changes.
Avoid
- Promoting a product, template, course, or tool.
- Research surveys, app validation, and user interview recruitment.
- Career questions outside recurring threads.
- AI-written product takes.
What r/ProductManagement Is For
r/ProductManagement is a professional community about the practice of product management. SaaS founders can learn a lot there, but promotional or research-shaped posts are risky.
What Works On r/ProductManagement
Good posts explain the product decision, user context, metric, stakeholder constraint, and options under consideration.
What To Avoid
Avoid promoting tools, recruiting research participants, asking for surveys, or posting AI-generated frameworks. The community wants product practice, not lead generation.
