How to submit to r/selfhosted

A post on r/selfhosted is yours to write, not a form.

You post as yourself, within their rules on self-promotion, and answer the comments that day. No automation can do that for you, and our done-for-you service does not include it. Post it yourself, then mark the result in your tracker by hand. How to prepare.

1. Prepare the kit. A one-line pitch, a description, a square logo and screenshots, and check that your product fits their rule: self-hosted software only. The listing guide lists what forms ask for; the tracker builds the kit from your website.
2. Open the form. Their submit page opens from the button above once you are signed in; signing in costs nothing.
3. Wait for the reply. Reply times are not stated; give it two weeks before you follow up. Mark the result in your tracker yourself: our checks cannot read this site.
