What r/ProductHunters Is For
This community is for discussions about products on Product Hunt. The rules say posts must be related to products on Product Hunt and, or Product Hunt in general. So the room is for people talking about specific products listed on the platform, launches, and the Product Hunt experience itself. You will find makers who have listed something, people hunting for new tools, and folks discussing how Product Hunt works. If your post does not connect to Product Hunt in some way, it does not belong here.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Four rules decide if your post survives here. “Posts must be about Product Hunt” means your post has to relate to products on Product Hunt or to Product Hunt itself. “Links must be from Product Hunt” means every link you share has to point to Product Hunt, and nothing else. “No Spam” bans spamming your own content, unauthorized promotion, other subreddits, referral codes, and selling upvotes or engagement services, but it also says you are allowed to post a link to your product on Product Hunt. “Be excellent to each other” keeps the tone civil.
What To Post
The best post here is one about a product that exists on Product Hunt. If you are a founder, you can share the link to your own product page on Product Hunt, and the rules explicitly allow that. Ask for honest feedback on your listing, your tagline, or your launch. You can also discuss Product Hunt itself, like how launches work or what makes a listing clear. Keep every link pointing straight at Product Hunt and keep the conversation about the platform and its products.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is a link that goes anywhere other than Product Hunt, because “Links must be from Product Hunt” is strict. A post about your product that never mentions Product Hunt will break “Posts must be about Product Hunt”. Repeating your own content, pushing other subreddits, or dropping referral codes falls under “No Spam”. Selling upvotes or any engagement service is named directly in the rules and should never happen. Being rude to other members breaks “Be excellent to each other”.
