- **DR:** 95
- **Pricing:** Free
- **Category:** Community (#46 of 113 by DR in this category)

## Quick verdict

Major tech news community — DR 95, free to submit. Skip for product launches; only worth it with genuine tech news or major announcements.

**Best for:** Major product announcements with genuine tech news angle · Companies with newsworthy breakthroughs covered by tech press

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Posts publish immediately unless filtered — moderators remove off-topic and promo content quickly.
- **Review:** Strict moderation on tech news relevance. Startup product marketing and self-promo are removed.
- **Common rejections:** Startup product launches, SaaS ads, blog spam, political content, or posts without tech news angle.
- **Reputation:** One of the least launch-friendly subs — treat as earned media amplification, not a launch channel.

## Pros

- DR 95 domain with massive audience on tech news that hits front page
- Free — no listing fees
- Enormous reach if your announcement is genuinely newsworthy
- Can amplify major funding rounds or breakthrough product news

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — nofollow links, not SEO
- Not a launch channel — product pitches are off-topic and removed
- Extremely competitive — front page requires major tech news angle
- Wrong audience intent — readers want tech news, not startup demos

## What you need before you submit

- Confirm your content is tech news — not a product launch pitch
- Read sidebar rules: no direct product promotion, no startup ads
- Link to external tech news article or press coverage — not your landing page

**Gotchas:**

- Do not post startup launch announcements here — use Product Hunt or r/startups
- Self-submitted blog posts about your product get removed as spam
- r/technology has strict politics and source quality rules — read sidebar carefully

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Reddit account — submit at reddit.com/r/technology/submit; expect strict moderation.
- **Categories:** Technology news and articles only — no startup product launches or self-promo.
- **Anchor text:** News article title; outbound links use nofollow via Reddit.
- **Link placement:** Subreddit feed post — ephemeral news thread, not a product directory page.
