How to post in r/SaaS without getting banned
Can you promote your product in r/SaaS? Yes, if it's a genuine, disclosed answer, not a link drop. Self-promotion is tolerated when it reads as a founder sharing real experience, not an ad. Use the Promotion/Build-in-Public flairs and lead with substance.
What r/SaaS is
The central hub for SaaS founders and operators. Threads skew toward building, pricing, churn, and tooling. A lot of 'what do you use for X' posts, high-intent for B2B tools.
How to show up without getting removed
- 01Answer 'what tool do you use for…' threads with a genuine recommendation, disclosing you built it.
- 02Post a real teardown of your numbers (MRR, churn, a failed experiment). Value first, link last.
- 03Use the right post flair; mods remove unflaired promo fast.
The rules that get enforced
- 01No low-effort link drops or pure ads.
- 02Disclose affiliation when you mention your own product.
- 03Flair promotional/build-in-public posts correctly.
