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 lead with a specific insight, surprising data point, or lesson learned from building—with the product mentioned as context rather than the headline. Upvoted posts answer implicit questions like 'what did I learn?' or 'what surprised me?' rather than 'buy my thing.'
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed and expected here—this is a community for indie builders to share their work. Posts should focus on genuine insights, lessons learned, or real problems solved rather than pure sales pitches. Share your product naturally within a narrative about your building journey, data findings, or an honest question you're wrestling with.
