Posting your startup in r/IMadeThis
Yes. r/IMadeThis is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts succeed by leading with a relatable problem or personal motivation (e.g., 'I was tired of...', 'I wanted to stop paying for...', 'I built this because...'), then briefly explaining what was built and its key benefit. The best posts feel like sharing something you genuinely made and learned from, not a polished product launch.
Self-promotion rules
r/IMadeThis explicitly welcomes self-promotion of projects you've built. Posts should focus on the creation story, problem you solved, or personal motivation behind the project rather than a hard sales pitch. Keep the tone genuine and conversational, emphasizing the 'why' and 'how' over aggressive marketing.

i built a scheduling tool because i was drowning in calendar apps
spent three months building a unified calendar that actually syncs across google, outlook, and apple without constant conflicts. honestly just wanted something simpler for myself, but figured others might find it useful too.
