Estimated survival rate

94%

of 600 recent r/alphaandbetausers posts we sampled were still publicly visible about a day later.

How this is measured

Estimate. We sample recent public posts and check again about 18 hours later to count how many are still publicly visible. Posts removed at the moment of submission never become publicly visible at all, so the true removal rate is at least this high. Last sampled Sep 4, 2026.

Can you self-promote in r/alphaandbetausers?

Yes, within reason. r/alphaandbetausers allows self-promotion, but Reddit's sitewide 9-to-1 guideline still applies: accounts that mostly post their own links get filtered as spam regardless of sub rules. The sub's own wording: "Our innovators need people to use their products to give them feedback!".

What gets removed in r/alphaandbetausers

  • Low karma or a new account

    r/alphaandbetausers publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size. New accounts should comment before posting.

  • Reddit's sitewide spam filter

    A separate layer before the subreddit ever sees your post. New accounts posting links, URL shorteners, and repeated domains are its favorite targets. Removals are instant and silent.

  • A shadowbanned account

    If the account itself is shadowbanned, every post looks live to you and invisible to everyone else, in any subreddit.

r/alphaandbetausers posting questions

Can I post links in r/alphaandbetausers?

No. r/alphaandbetausers accepts text posts only, so a link-only submission is rejected at the door. You can usually mention a link inside the body text, but the sub's rules on self-promotion still apply to it. Check your draft against the rules before posting.

Does r/alphaandbetausers require karma to post?

r/alphaandbetausers does not publish a karma minimum. That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently. If your account is new or has little karma, that is the first thing to rule out when a post disappears.

Can you self-promote in r/alphaandbetausers?

Yes, within reason. r/alphaandbetausers allows self-promotion, but Reddit's sitewide 9-to-1 guideline still applies: accounts that mostly post their own links get filtered as spam regardless of sub rules. The sub's own wording: "Our innovators need people to use their products to give them feedback!".

Is r/alphaandbetausers strict?

Relaxed, by our estimate (3/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 0 rules, and its stated gates). About 6% of recent posts disappeared within a day in our sample. Strictness is about enforcement, not hostility: a strict sub is predictable if you follow its rules.

What is the best time to post in r/alphaandbetausers?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Friday 4pm UTC and Monday 4am UTC. Treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee: a post that breaks a rule gets removed at any hour. The heatmap on this page converts these windows to your local time.

Why do posts get removed in r/alphaandbetausers?

Every subreddit runs several removal layers: its own rules, unpublished AutoMod filters, Reddit's sitewide spam filter, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 6% of r/alphaandbetausers posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
