Reddit - Dive into anything

Titles should be objective, not editorialized. To include interesting details, personal stories, or other information, simply reply with a comment after you've submitted your post.

Example:

Rush - The Spirit of Radio [Prog Rock] (1980) Live in Canada

Artist repost limitations

Music by artists who've recently had a popular post (100+ upvotes) is automatically removed for the next 30 days to ensure content remains fresh. If your post is removed, consider trying another artist.

No clickbait

Music should stand on its own, and titles should be objective. If you have an interesting story behind the music, include it in the comments section, or the body of your discussion post. No emotional appeals, asking for votes, or other 'clickbait.'

High-quality discussions only

Discussion posts should be thoughtfully crafted to encourage meaningful, civil, and constructive conversation; avoid low-effort requests for artist, song, or album recommendations. Cross-posts must be edited to remove clickbait.

Follow Reddit's self-promo guidelines

For original music, double-check your submission after 2-3 minutes. Ensure the flair is set to 'I Made This'.

It is your responsibility to read and understand Reddit's guidelines on self-promotion before submitting your own music.

Musical celebrities are exempt. For verification, contact the staff privately.

No request-style posts

Avoid personal requests or help identifying a tune. This includes 'tip of my tongue' style posts, or recommendations based on your interests.

For fresh music by smaller artists, check out r/listentothis
For interest-based suggestions, you could visit r/ifyoulikeblank or r/ifyoulikeblankmusic
For help identifying a song or melody, try r/tipofmytongue or r/namethatsong.

Link to official channels

Must link to official artist channels

Whenever possible, always use links to artists' official channels. Exceptions are made for exclusive releases, region-restrictions, certain live performances, and other circumstances.

No solicitation

No crowd-funding, surveys, data-mining, questionnaires, signup/voting requests, studies, or other information-gathering posts. Text posts should follow our guidelines for high-quality discussions.

No unauthorized music

No links to pirated, leaked, or unreleased music. No promotion of piracy or similar acts.

This subreddit is for discussing and sharing legally available music only.

No links to pirated, leaked, or unreleased music, such as torrent sites, file-sharing platforms, or unofficial YouTube channels. No promotion of piracy or similar acts, such as encouraging others to download or stream music illegally. This rule helps to respect the rights and efforts of the creators and distributors of music.

Stay on-topic

Stay relevant. Submissions must be explicitly related to music, music technology, or the music industry.

Statements and actions by musicians not relevant to their musical work are not allowed. Articles discussing significant events in musicians’ lives are subject to staff discretion.

Avoid 'anniversary' posts. It's always somethings anniversary.

Be civil. Follow Reddiquette

Maintain civility. Don't kill the vibe. Use common sense and don't be a jerk. We are a community dedicated to music, not arguing.

Avoid discussions on sensitive issues such as religion, partisan politics, and other hot-button and off-topic issues. Please be respectful of artists and creators.

Users must follow Reddiquette at all times. It's your responsibility to read and understand these guidelines.

No playlist posts

No playlists sharing/gathering and similar posts.

Submissions should be limited to individual songs. This helps ensure a diverse selection of music from many different users. If you want to share or request playlists, you might visit r/IMadeAPlaylist or r/SpotifyPlaylists instead. This rule helps to promote music discovery and appreciation.

No low-effort posts

Discussions on r/Music should promote meaningful and substantive discussions about music-related topics. Hastily written/off-topic text posts that lack depth, context, or the potential for engaging conversations will likely be removed.
