The best subreddits to post your indie game
2 min read
By Eduardo Orellana ·
Start with the general indie subreddits (r/IndieGaming, r/indiegames), the developer ones for feedback (r/gamedev, r/IndieDev, and your engine's, such as r/godot), feedback-for-plays ones like r/playmygame, and above all the subreddits for your genre and the games yours resembles, where the players are. Each has its own self-promotion rules; read them, post your best clip, and stay for the comments. Genre subreddits often bring more wishlists than the big indie ones.
Your genre beats the indie subreddits
Indie subreddits are full of other developers. The people who will buy a deckbuilder are in the deckbuilder subreddits and those of the games yours is compared to. Find them, read them for a week, and post when you have something they would want to see.
Where to post
- General indie: r/IndieGaming, r/indiegames.
- Developers: r/gamedev, r/IndieDev, r/godot; best for feedback and devlogs.
- Playtesting: r/playmygame, r/DestroyMyGame for blunt feedback.
- Genre and comparables: r/roguelikes, r/CozyGamers, r/metroidvania and the subreddits of the games you resemble.
Check each one's rules on the day; they change.
Posting without being spammy
Space out posts, never post the same thing to ten subreddits on one day, take part in other threads, and make each post useful by itself: a clip, a technique, a before-and-after. See how to market a game on Reddit.
Where Flockbay fits
Flockbay's Video studio cuts the clips; playtest links give r/playmygame something to play. Free in beta until 1 December 2026.
