Posting your startup in r/Startup_Ideas
Yes. r/Startup_Ideas 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 that either share a genuine outcome/lesson (revenue numbers, what worked/didn't) or create a low-friction opportunity for others to participate ("drop your startup" threads, feedback requests, feature opportunities). The subreddit rewards authenticity and community participation over polished pitches.
Self-promotion rules
r/Startup_Ideas actively encourages self-promotion through dedicated threads and posts. Founders can share their startups directly, especially in community-organized threads inviting submissions, newsletter features, or lead-generation posts. No strict restrictions are enforced; the culture is openly pro-founder and welcomes product links and pitches.
