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

Rule summary

  • No recycled posts: Please do not repost the same thing over and over, copy someone else's post, or reuse an old trend without adding anything new. If you are posting it again, give people a reason to care.
  • No link dumping: Please do not just drop a link and leave. If you are sharing a TikTok, article, or anything else, add some context and tell us what you want people to talk about. Links posted only for views, clicks, or traffic may be removed.
  • Keep the TikTok watermark: If you are uploading a TikTok video directly to the sub, please keep the original TikTok watermark visible. Do not crop it out or remove it before posting. This helps keep the original creator and source clear.
  • TikTok only: Keep it related to TikTok. Videos, creators, trends, features, algorithm changes, growth, monetization, news, drama, and general TikTok culture are all welcome. If it has nothing to do with TikTok, it probably does not belong here.
  • Keep it chill: Disagreements are fine. Personal attacks, harassment, trolling, and dogpiling are not. You can disagree without turning it into a fight.
  • Keep it SFW: Keep things clean and appropriate. Explicit or sexual content will be removed.
  • No AI slop: Nobody wants a feed full of mass generated posts and empty AI content. Low effort AI posts, repetitive content, one liners with nothing behind them, and obvious bait will be removed. Bring an actual thought, question, experience, or something worth discussing.
  • Limit self promotion: You can share your own TikTok when it actually adds something to the conversation or you are looking for genuine feedback. Posts made mainly to get views, likes, followers, subscribers, or traffic will be removed. Please do not turn the sub into an ad board
  • No misleading claims: Rumors, screenshots, and personal experiences are fine, but do not present them as confirmed TikTok facts when they are not. If you are sharing news or making a claim, give people enough context to understand where it came from. If you are not sure whether something fits the rules, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Works well

  • Share a TikTok video that shows a new trend and ask the community what they think about it.
  • Post about an algorithm change you noticed and ask others if they have seen the same thing.
  • Share your own TikTok and ask for genuine feedback on the editing or the hook.
  • Start a discussion about a creator story or a piece of TikTok news and add your take on it.

Avoid

  • Posting a link with no context, which the rules call 'No link dumping'.
  • Sharing your own TikTok just to get views, likes, or followers, which breaks 'Limit self promotion'.
  • Uploading a TikTok video with the watermark removed, which violates 'Keep the TikTok watermark'.
  • Posting AI generated content or low effort one liners, which the rules call 'No AI slop'.
  • Reposting the same thing over and over or copying someone else's post, which breaks 'No recycled posts'.
  • Sharing non-TikTok topics, which violates 'TikTok only'.

What r/TikTokLounge Is For

This community is for TikTok creators and viewers to share videos, memes, talk about trends, and discuss what is happening on TikTok. People post interesting videos, funny moments, creator stories, new trends, algorithm changes, account problems, TikTok news, and anything else worth talking about. Whether you are creating content, growing your account, keeping up with TikTok creators, or just here to find interesting videos and discussions, you are welcome here.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The rules that matter most for marketing are 'No link dumping', 'Limit self promotion', 'No AI slop', and 'Keep the TikTok watermark'. 'No link dumping' means you cannot just drop a link and leave. 'Limit self promotion' means you can share your own TikTok only when it adds to the conversation or you want genuine feedback. 'No AI slop' means no low effort AI posts or empty content. 'Keep the TikTok watermark' means if you upload a TikTok video directly, you must keep the original watermark visible.

What To Post

A good post here is a TikTok related video, story, or question that starts a real conversation. If you share a TikTok, keep the watermark visible and add context about what you want people to talk about. If you share your own TikTok, make sure it adds something to the conversation or you are asking for genuine feedback. Talk about trends, algorithm changes, account problems, or creator stories in a way that invites discussion. Bring an actual thought, question, or experience, not just a link or a one liner.

What To Avoid

Avoid posting the same thing over and over or copying someone else's post, which breaks 'No recycled posts'. Do not just drop a link and leave, which breaks 'No link dumping'. Do not upload a TikTok video without the original watermark, which breaks 'Keep the TikTok watermark'. Avoid posting non-TikTok topics, which breaks 'TikTok only'. Do not get into personal attacks or harassment, which breaks 'Keep it chill'. Do not post explicit or sexual content, which breaks 'Keep it SFW'. Do not post AI generated content or low effort one liners, which breaks 'No AI slop'. Do not post mainly to get views, likes, followers, or traffic, which breaks 'Limit self promotion'. Do not present rumors or personal experiences as confirmed TikTok facts, which breaks 'No misleading claims'.
