Posting your startup in r/indiebiz
Yes. r/indiebiz 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 ask relatable questions about indie operations, share practical challenges, or introduce tools with honest context about the maker's involvement. The community rewards vulnerability, specificity, and genuine curiosity over polished marketing.
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed but must be authentic and community-focused. Posts should either ask genuine questions, share lessons learned, or introduce a tool with clear value to indie builders—not pure pitch posts. Use [INTRO] tags when introducing your own product and disclose your affiliation transparently.
