Posting your startup in r/producthunters
Yes. r/producthunters 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 share honest, personal launch experiences—what went well, what surprised them, or lessons learned. Founders frame their launches as stories rather than pitches, often reflecting on the challenges or unexpected outcomes.
Self-promotion rules
You can share your Product Hunt launch here, but only link directly to your Product Hunt post—no external links allowed. Avoid spamming or self-promotion outside of sharing your PH launch. Posts must be about Product Hunt or products on the platform.
