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 Oct 23, 2026.

What gets removed in r/Blogging

Self-promotion
r/Blogging restricts self-promo to the narrow exception its rule allows. Standalone product links and launch 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.

Is r/Blogging strict?

Strict, by our estimate (40/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 14 rules, and its stated gates). About 0% 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.

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most common reasons are self-promotion violations, plus the layers every subreddit has: Reddit's sitewide spam filter, unpublished AutoMod rules, and account-level gates like karma and age.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 0% 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.
