r/startup_resources rules, stats, and what to post

What r/startup_resources Is For

Reddit describes r/startup_resources this way: A sub-reddit for sharing and talking about resources for startups.

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 "No insulting remarks, stay civil.", "No course, agency, onlyfan pimp, crypto, get rich quick scheme/people or dodgy shit.", "No spamming, solicitation or affiliate link.", "No low content posts/comments.". The rule to read twice is "No spamming, solicitation or affiliate link.". It is the clearest source-backed warning against turning the subreddit into a launch, link, or sales channel.

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: A sub-reddit for sharing and talking about resources for startups.
• 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/startup_resources 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:

• Anything that trips "No spamming, solicitation or affiliate link.": No spamming, solicitation or affiliate link.
• 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 "No insulting remarks, stay civil.": No insulting remarks, stay civil.

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.
