RESOURCES
Reddit marketing resources, without the hype.
Everything we publish for founders marketing on Reddit and X: compliance guides that explain the rules an account actually gets banned for, a blog of playbooks and teardowns, dated comparisons against the other tools in the category, and a plain account of how we handle your data. All free, no signup.
7 compliance guides · 12 tool comparisons · Free to read
Five places to start.
Each shelf is a self-contained cluster with its own hub page. They cross-link, so you can enter anywhere and end up where you needed to be.
Compliance guides
The rules that actually decide whether an account survives: the 90/10 self-promotion norm, what triggers a shadowban, and where each platform draws the line on automation. Start here if you have never posted about your product on Reddit.

Blog
Playbooks, teardowns and research on distribution for founders — written and published by the same blog engine the product ships, running on our own workspace.

Compare
Where FounderReply sits against the categories around it — audience research, monitoring, reply drafting, autoposters and managed accounts — with category labels rather than a scoreboard.
Category comparison · Sourced
Alternatives
One page per named tool, each carrying its own dated evidence and an honest account of what that tool does better. Useful whether or not you end up choosing us.

Security
What we touch, where it is processed, and how your connected accounts are protected — written as mechanisms rather than badges, with the legal documents linked from it.

The four people read first
These answer the questions founders ask before they post anything at all: what gets you banned, what the self-promotion rules actually say, how a shadowban happens, and whether automating Reddit is allowed in the first place.
How to market on Reddit without getting banned
A practical 2026 guide to Reddit marketing that doesn’t get you banned: the 90/10 rule, what triggers shadowbans, and how to promote on your own account, compliantly.
Reddit self-promotion rules, explained
What you can and can’t do when promoting on Reddit in 2026: the 90/10 rule, disclosure, subreddit-specific rules, and the practices that get accounts removed.
How to avoid a Reddit shadowban
A shadowban makes your posts invisible without warning. Here’s what triggers one in 2026 and how to keep your account healthy while marketing.
Is automating Reddit against the rules?
Not all Reddit automation is against the rules — but some kinds will get you banned. Here’s the line between compliant API use and the automation Reddit punishes.
FAQ
About these resources.
What they cost, where to begin, and how honest the comparison pages actually are.
Are these Reddit marketing resources free?
Yes. Every guide, comparison and blog post on this site is free to read with no signup, no email gate and no download form. They are written to be useful on their own, whether or not you ever create a FounderReply account or connect a social platform to it.
Where should I start if I have never marketed on Reddit?
Read the guide on marketing without getting banned first, then the self-promotion rules. Between them they cover the 90/10 norm, disclosure, and the subreddit-level rules that override everything else. The shadowban guide is worth reading before you post rather than after.
Do the comparison pages just say FounderReply wins?
No. Each alternatives page names at least one thing the other tool genuinely does better, carries a date on its claims, and uses category labels instead of a scoreboard. A comparison that never concedes anything is an advertisement, and readers can tell the difference immediately.
How current is any of this?
The guides carry their year in the title, so you can see at a glance what they were written against. The comparison data carries an explicit last-verified month on the page itself, which means you can judge its shelf life instead of having to guess at it.

Resources are one of four clusters. These are the other three doors.
