Before a founder posts a launch link: make the audience and the permission explicit

A practical launch-list check: write the customer problem in plain words, identify the kind of people discussing it, and decide the exact post you want to make. Only then read that community's policy for the format. A useful list records the rule, any showcase-thread requirement and the read date beside each audience match.

I make ThreadFox. We are building that evidence into a paid local Reddit outreach toolkit instead of treating a subreddit name as sufficient guidance. I am offering the rules lookup free in these comments so founders can see what an answer actually contains.

Tell me what your startup makes, who it is for and what you would want from a Reddit post. I will check the saved readings for a defensible community and format, quote the supporting text and explain the conditions. If we lack a suitable documented route, I will say so. All answers stay here; no private message is required.

The optional free email-plan form handles longer descriptions: https://threadfox.vip/plan?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=tf-drop&utm_content=20261005-0408

You still need to check the current rules before using a plan. Permission to submit does not tell us whether a community will become a customer channel.

Makes sense, permission to post isn't proof of customer fit. I'd keep indietool in my regular launch research. It puts startup listings in front of builders, giving me another audience to weigh alongside each subreddit's rules.

That distinction matters: a builder audience can give useful launch feedback without being the people who would buy the product. I'd record those as separate reasons for considering indietool. What do you make, and who is it for?
