Estimated survival rate

90%

of 630 recent r/microsaas 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 5, 2026.

r/microsaas rules: what actually gets removed

Each rule below is paired with the way it is most likely enforced. Where the rules state a number, we quote it. Where they do not, we say so instead of guessing.

  1. 1.Keep it Micro SaaS

    Enforcement varies

    All posts must directly relate to Micro SaaS.

  2. 2.No Low-Effort Self-Promotion

    Enforcement varies

    You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value. Purely promotional links without context, "Build in Public" updates with no actual insights, and repetitive link-dropping will be removed. If you share your product, you must include the backstory, tech stack, revenue (if comfortable), or a specific lesson learned.

  3. 3.Be Respectful and Constructive

    Enforcement varies

    Roast the product and the landing page, but not the founder. Insults, harassment, trolling, and toxic behavior will result in an immediate ban.

  4. 4.No Unethical Tactics or Black Hat

    Enforcement varies

    Do not post, promote, or ask for unethical growth hacks. This includes buying fake reviews, spamming scraped emails, astroturfing, or stealing intellectual property.

  5. 5.Keep it high quality

    Enforcement varies

    Avoid vague motivational posts, generic "How to get rich", or links to paid courses/newsletters without prior mod approval.

  6. 6.No DM ME

    Enforcement varies

    We can't guarantee the safety of conversations outside our sub. Any post or comment requesting private messaging will be removed.

r/microsaas 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 Subreddits often enforce unpublished filters on top of what they write down, which is why posts from new accounts can vanish without a message here.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/microsaas?

Yes, within reason. r/microsaas 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: "You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value. Purely promotional links without context...will be removed.".

What gets removed in r/microsaas

  • Low karma or a new account

    r/microsaas 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/microsaas posting questions

Can I post links in r/microsaas?

Yes. r/microsaas 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/microsaas require karma to post?

r/microsaas 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/microsaas?

Yes, within reason. r/microsaas 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: "You may share your Micro SaaS, but it must add value. Purely promotional links without context...will be removed.".

Is r/microsaas strict?

Relaxed, by our estimate (11/100 on our strictness scale, from its measured removal rate, 6 rules, and its stated gates). About 10% 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/microsaas?

Based on our sample of recent and top posts, activity and scores peak around Tuesday 7am UTC and Thursday 2pm 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/microsaas?

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 10% of r/microsaas posts disappeared within about a day of going up. Many removals are silent, so checking your draft first beats finding out after.
