Estimated survival rate

87%

of 46 recent r/Blogging 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.

What gets removed in r/Blogging

Self-promotion
r/Blogging bans self-promo outright. Product links, launch posts, and thinly framed "feedback" posts are removed.
Account below the stated minimum
The rules state you need 3 karma and a 3-day-old account. Below that, removal is automatic and silent.
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/Blogging posting questions

Can I post links in r/Blogging?

No. r/Blogging 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/Blogging require karma to post?

Yes. The sub's own rules state a minimum of 3 karma and an account at least 3 days old. Below that, posts are removed automatically, usually without a message. Build karma by commenting before you try to post.

Can you self-promote in r/Blogging?

Is r/Blogging strict?

Strict, by our estimate (47/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 14 rules, and its stated gates). About 13% 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/Blogging?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Friday 7am UTC and Sunday 11pm 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/Blogging?

The most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age. In our recent sample, roughly 13% of r/Blogging posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
