- **Category:** Community (#49 of 113 by DR in this category)

## Quick verdict

UX professional community — DR 95, free to submit. Worth it for UX critique and design feedback; skip for bare product launches or directory backlinks.

**Best for:** Founders seeking professional UX critique on flows, wireframes, or prototypes · Designers sharing case studies or UX research with community discussion

## Approval & timeline

- **Time-to-live:** Posts publish immediately unless AutoModerator filters them — mod review for UX relevance.
- **Review:** Moderators enforce UX profession relevance, remove bare promo, and filter low-effort posts.
- **Common rejections:** Bare product ads without UX questions, off-topic marketing, low-karma spam, or posts violating research recruitment rules.
- **Reputation:** Community expects specific UX questions — “critique my checkout flow” beats “check out my app”.

## Pros

- DR 95 domain with referral traffic on well-framed UX critique requests
- Free — no paid UX review platform required
- Practitioner audience for usability, accessibility, and flow feedback
- Comment threads surface UX blind spots before expensive redesigns

## Cons

- Backlink quality rated Weak — nofollow, not SEO
- Not a launch channel — wrong audience for marketing pitches
- Strict on promo — must frame as UX feedback request
- Professional audience — vague feedback requests get ignored

## What you need before you submit

- Reddit account meeting r/userexperience karma and age requirements
- Read sidebar rules on critique requests and research recruitment
- Specific UX questions: which flow, what hypothesis, what feedback you need
- Screenshots, prototype links, or screen recordings embedded in post
- Time to respond thoughtfully to UX critique in comments

**Gotchas:**

- Do not post bare product launch ads — frame as UX critique request
- Include context: user type, task, and what you have tried already
- Research recruitment posts have separate rules — read sidebar before recruiting participants

## Submission mechanics

- **Account:** Reddit account — submit at reddit.com/r/userexperience/submit after meeting requirements.
- **Categories:** UX discussion, critique requests, case studies — not bare product launch ads.
- **Anchor text:** Post title and prototype links in body; Reddit applies nofollow to outbound URLs.
- **Link placement:** Subreddit feed post only — ephemeral feedback thread, not a directory page.
