Music subreddits have endless self-promo problems and very strict moderation in response. The producers and musicians who succeed are the ones who teach. Tutorial posts, behind-the-scenes production breakdowns, and gear comparisons all do well. Pure 'check out my new song' posts almost universally die.

If you want this kind of insight automated for any sub on the list, SubredditAnalyzer tracks engagement, mod strictness, and the best posting hour for each one in your local timezone.

Music subreddit FAQ

What people ask before posting in music subreddits.

What is the best subreddit for musicians?+

r/WeAreTheMusicMakers is the largest creator-focused sub. Genre-specific subs like r/edmproduction or r/Guitar convert better for genre-relevant audiences.

Can I promote my music on Reddit?+

In dedicated promo threads only. Most music subs have weekly self-promo threads. Posting outside those gets removed.

How do I find subreddits for my music genre?+

Search the genre name. Almost every genre has a dedicated sub. Smaller genre subs convert better than r/music for finding actual fans.

Is Reddit good for music gear brands?+

Yes. r/audiophile, r/headphones, r/Guitar, and other gear-specific subs are highly engaged and product-curious.
