For Rankhog planning, treat it as a place for product critique, launch feedback, testers, and early-user learning. 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 "Don't spam", "No Soliciting". The rule to read twice is "Don't spam". 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:

Ask for critique on a specific product surface, audience, or launch decision.

What To Avoid

Do not use r/TestMyApp as a cold launch channel. The safest draft should still make sense if the company name, product URL, and call to action are removed.
