Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.

Rule summary

  • No compounding: Discussion of compounded, non-FDA-approved semaglutide is not allowed, including implicit discussion when compounding is the only possible interpretation and discussion of sources for obtaining it.
  • No selling medication: The subreddit is not a marketplace. Do not discuss selling medication, even when it is genuine and legally obtained.
  • No medical credentials: Do not claim medical credentials because the moderation team cannot verify them.
  • Be nice to each other: Keep the community welcoming and respectful to people at different stages of a weight-loss or diabetes journey.
  • No DM's for any reason: Do not request or provide direct-message contact details, and do not ask people to direct-message, privately message, or chat you to circumvent the rules. The rule directs recipients of unsolicited messages to Reddit's report feature.
  • No Surveys or Research Studies: Do not post surveys or research studies.

Works well

  • Source-backed scope: discussion of FDA-approved semaglutide identified in the public description as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus.
  • Observed community fit: the current public feed includes personal experiences, progress updates, and questions from people at different stages; this observation is not an additional rule or medical endorsement.
  • Rankhog recommendation: state whether you are sharing personal experience or asking a question, and include only the context needed for a useful discussion.
  • Rankhog recommendation: keep claims modest and avoid presenting an individual experience as an instruction for someone else's care.

Avoid

  • Formal rule: do not discuss compounded semaglutide, including sources or posts where compounding is the only possible interpretation.
  • Formal rule: do not sell medication or treat the community as a marketplace.
  • Formal rules: do not claim medical credentials, request or provide direct-message contact, or post surveys or research studies.
  • Rankhog recommendation: do not assume a promotional format is accepted merely because the formal rules do not publish a general self-promotion rule.

What r/Semaglutide Is For

r/Semaglutide is for discussion of FDA-approved semaglutide. Its current public description names Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus and explicitly excludes compounded formulations.

The current public feed includes personal experiences, questions, and progress updates. That is an observed content pattern, not a substitute for the formal rules and not evidence that any medical claim is correct.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The public rules page lists six rules: no compounding, no selling medication, no claims of medical credentials, be nice, no direct messages for any reason, and no surveys or research studies.

The compounding rule covers explicit discussion, sources, and posts where compounded semaglutide is the only possible interpretation. The direct-message rule also prohibits requesting or providing contact details and using private messages or chat to get around the public rules.

What To Post

Source-backed topical fit begins with FDA-approved semaglutide. Personal experiences, progress updates, and questions are visible on the current public feed.

As Rankhog recommendations:

  • Say clearly when something is your own experience.
  • Give enough context for readers to understand the discussion without claiming medical authority.
  • Keep the conversation on Reddit and within the approved scope.

This guide reports subreddit policy and observed posting patterns. It does not validate treatment claims or provide medical guidance.

What To Avoid

Do not discuss compounded semaglutide or where to obtain it. Do not sell medication, claim medical credentials, request or provide direct-message contact, or post a survey or research study.

The formal list does not publish a broad self-promotion rule. That absence is not proof that promotional content is accepted, so check the live rules and posting interface before publishing anything commercial.

Rankhog Notes

The strongest pre-flight check is scope: the post should clearly concern FDA-approved semaglutide and must not imply compounded formulations. For food-specific discussion, use r/Glp1meals. For experiences after discontinuing GLP-1 medication, compare r/GLPGrad.
