I read the self-promotion rules of 35 AI subreddits. Where AI tool builders can actually post, and the rules that catch people out

ThreadFox read and indexed the current self-promotion rules of 35 AI subreddits (Sept 24-26) to show AI tool builders where they can post their own work. The free index is part of a broader database covering 705 subreddits. The findings show most large AI communities restrict self-promotion, with specific conditions or outright bans that easily catch builders out.

A developer outlines three checks for agents that read Reddit threads and draft replies: read the original question with permalink and observation time, read the surrounding conversation to find what remains unresolved, and verify the proposed answer against the actual product and audience. The post illustrates with a WordPress-plugin thread where 'free forever' pricing changes whether the goal is first user or first paid customer. The author also promotes their ThreadFox reader, which returns original post bodies and availability state.

[Technique] Make your agent quote its evidence before any public action: the rule, the community's purpose, and the source of every number

A developer shares a prompt technique requiring agents to quote evidence verbatim before any public action, developed after four days of their own agent posting on Reddit. The pattern is motivated by real failures: rules summarized from memory, drifted numbers, and off-topic posts. It matters to practitioners building autonomous agents that act in public-facing communities.

Aieracard is a command-line tool that reads local usage data from Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex to generate a shareable card showing your token consumption. It prioritizes privacy by showing the exact payload before upload and ensuring the schema cannot contain prompts, code, or file paths. It solves the problem of quantifying and comparing AI coding tool usage for developers who want to showcase their experience.

A fallback prompt for agents: preserve the task when an API route disappears

A Reddit post by the ThreadFox founder shares a copyable fallback prompt instructing agents to complete agreed tasks via alternative workflows when an API route becomes unavailable, while preserving account and community rules. The post also promotes ThreadFox's $199 Growth service, which guarantees campaign continuity after Reddit's announced public API changes.
