How do I check subreddit rules quickly?

Enter any subreddit name (e.g., r/SaaS, r/startups) into the Rules Summarizer. Our AI fetches the official rules via Reddit's API and returns a structured summary in seconds—no manual reading required.

Do I need to copy and paste the rules text?

No. Just enter the subreddit name—the tool automatically fetches official rules from Reddit's about/rules endpoint. This ensures you're always analyzing the current, official rules rather than outdated text.

What subreddit name formats are accepted?

The tool accepts multiple formats: 'r/SaaS', '/r/SaaS', just 'SaaS', or even full URLs like 'https://reddit.com/r/SaaS'. All formats are normalized automatically.

How accurate is the AI rules summary?

The summary is a best-effort AI interpretation of official rules. While highly accurate for most subreddits, always verify with the official rules page before posting—especially for strict communities. Mods may enforce additional unwritten norms.

Does the tool detect self-promotion rules?

Yes. The Rules Summarizer specifically identifies self-promotion policies, link restrictions, affiliate rules, and weekly promo thread requirements. These are highlighted in the Allowed/Not Allowed checklist and risk notes.

Can it understand flair and formatting requirements?

If the subreddit rules specify required flairs, title formats, or post tags, these are surfaced in the summary. However, some communities enforce formatting norms in pinned posts or wiki pages—always check those too.

What if rules are ambiguous or contradictory?

Many subreddits have unclear rules. The tool adds risk notes highlighting uncertainty (e.g., 'links may be removed unless educational'). When in doubt, message mods directly or use designated promo threads.

Does this replace reading the actual rules?

No—it's a time-saver and sanity check, not a replacement. The summary helps you understand rules faster, but mods can enforce additional norms not explicitly written. Always do a quick manual check for high-stakes posts.

What if the rules can't be fetched?

If Reddit rate-limits or blocks the request, you may receive a fallback response. In that case, check the subreddit's official rules page manually. Private subreddits or those without official rules may also return limited data.

Is the Subreddit Rules Summarizer free?

Yes, this tool is completely free. Enter any subreddit name and get an AI-generated rules summary instantly—no signup required.

How is this useful for Reddit marketing?

Marketers can quickly assess multiple subreddits' self-promotion policies, link restrictions, and posting rules before investing time in content. This prevents wasted effort on communities where your content would be removed.
