Estimated survival rate
85%
of 26 recent r/lesbian 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 Oct 10, 2026.
r/lesbian rules: what actually gets removed

Any posts about triggering topics like homophobia, problems at school/with family, abusive partners will be removed. This isn't because we want to invalidate your experience, it just doesn't fit in with our posting guidelines, as we want this to be a fun place.

r/lesbian does not publish karma or account-age minimums in its rules. Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.
Can you self-promote in r/lesbian?
r/lesbian does not state a clear self-promo policy in its rules. Treat that as caution, not permission: mods remove promo at their discretion, and Reddit's sitewide spam filter still applies. A value-first post that mentions your project beats a launch-style post here.

What gets removed in r/lesbian
Low karma or a new account
r/lesbian publishes no karma or age minimum, but unpublished account filters are common at this size.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/lesbian posting questions
Can I post links in r/lesbian?
Yes. r/lesbian accepts link posts. The usual sitewide traps still apply: URL shorteners, affiliate parameters, and brand-new domains get filtered fast, and promotional links are judged against the sub's self-promo rules. One clean link to the original source is the safe pattern.
Does r/lesbian require karma to post?
r/lesbian 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 That does not mean there is none: many subreddits enforce unpublished karma and account-age filters that remove posts silently.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.
Is r/lesbian strict?
Relaxed, by our estimate (18/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 12 rules, and its stated gates). About 15% 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/lesbian?
Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Wednesday 6pm UTC and Monday 10pm 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/lesbian?
The most common reasons are flair required 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 15% of r/lesbian posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
