How OnlyFans subreddits work
Reddit has 100,000+ communities known as “subreddits”, each with its own niche and interest. Thousands of these subreddits are used to promote OnlyFans. They focus on images and GIFs, ranging from mild spicy to adult content.
When you use subreddits to promote OnlyFans, you reach a targeted audience that’s interested in your kind of content. You can even stay anonymous / faceless on Reddit. This means you can use Reddit to discreetly promote OnlyFans or use Reddit to promote your OnlyFans even without a social media following.
At FanGrowth, we schedule thousands of Reddit posts every day for OnlyFans creators, and have analyzed their performance to find the 20 best OnlyFans subreddits based on upvotes and paid subs. But first, it’s important to avoid these common Reddit mistakes.
Posting in the wrong subreddits
Ironically, the worst-performing OnlyFans subreddits tend to be the ones with “OnlyFans” or “Fansly” in their name.
These subreddits are known as advertising subreddits, which means regular Reddit users do not engage in them. Instead, these subreddits are flooded with OnlyFans creators, thinking this is the only way to promote on Reddit, so it’s very hard to get any meaningful traffic.
The same goes for subreddits that allow for self-promotion of links in the comments. OnlyFans creators on Reddit tend to flock to these subreddits, and the audience becomes other creators instead of potential fans that can become your paid subs. You can spend all day posting in these subreddits and yield very little results.
You may be wondering: if you can’t post your OnlyFans link in the comments, how do you get paid subs? The answer is the best way to promote OnlyFans on Reddit is through your profile.
A good rule of thumb: if any creator can be posting in the exact same subreddits you post in, your OnlyFans subreddits are too generic. The riches are in the niches.
Posting without enough Reddit karma
Many Reddit posts in OnlyFans subreddits are removed by moderators with a note saying that your account is too new or doesn’t have enough karma. Sometimes new accounts are banned from Reddit altogether for posting with low karma.
So what is Reddit karma? Karma is Reddit’s upvote system. Every new account starts with 1 karma point. When you make a post or comment and get upvotes from other users, you gain karma points. The key word: you need to get upvotes. If you post or comment but nobody upvotes you, this by itself will not gain you any karma.
To post in high-quality OnlyFans subreddits, gaining comment karma is the most important, which comes from getting upvotes on the comments you make in other subreddits. Many NSFW subreddits require at least 200-500+ comment karma. To find your comment karma, go to your user profile:
The fastest way to get comment karma is by posting in popular discussion-based subreddits like these:
SFW (safe for work) subreddits tend to have the least restrictions on who can comment, so if you have a new Reddit account, start growing your comment karma there. Once you have 200+ comment karma, you can switch to posting content in OnlyFans subreddits. For detailed steps, you can read our guide on how to get Reddit karma fast.
Posting in big OnlyFans subreddits
Remember when we said the riches are in the niches? This is definitely true for subreddits.
First, there are OnlyFans subreddits with millions of subscribers that are now abandoned. So instead of just looking at the total subscriber base, check how many people are online:
Also, look at the posts at the top of the subreddit to see if they are getting a lot of upvotes and comments, which proves there’s real activity happening.
Second, the way to get a lot of views on Reddit is by getting onto the “hot” page, which is the top of the page of the subreddit. The hot page is ranked by upvotes and comments, and accounts for how long ago the post was submitted.
If your content is not a great fit for the subreddit and does not make it to the hot page, a big subscriber base means very little since most of them will never see your content! OnlyFans creators using FanGrowth find that most of their engagement and subs come from a handful of subreddits that best fit their OnlyFans niche:
20 Best Subreddits for OnlyFans creators
Based on millions of data points, here are the best OnlyFans subreddits that get engagement and paid subs. Keep in mind: not all of these subreddits will fit your content – they are meant to be very niche with passionate audiences.
In the next section, we will cover how to find a personalized set of subreddits for promoting your OnlyFans. For now, here’s the list:
1. r/anal: is an extremely popular reddit page to promote OnlyFans for hardcore anal content. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/anal gets close to 1000 upvotes. There’s no need to verify, although they are very strict on the type of content that qualifies, and even remove posts that are under 100 upvotes after 24 hours to make room for the top content. As expected, no links in comments are allowed, but you’ll notice most creators here have their OnlyFans linked in their Reddit profile. If you’re a good fit for r/anal, you can find the best Porn subreddits here
2. r/toocuteforporn: is focused on female nudes with cute faces. Faces need to be shown in your post. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/toocuteforporn gets over 500 upvotes. There’s no official verification process, but your first post will be manually reviewed by a moderator. Given it’s fairly straightforward to take nude selfies, this one is a no-brainer if your content is a good fit
3. r/lactation: is focused on erotic lactation. It’s proof that size isn’t everything – even though it’s well under 1M members, this subreddit is very active. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/lactation gets close to 400 upvotes. There is a verification process, but it’s likely to be worth your time when you have content that fits perfectly.
4. r/cuckold: as the name suggests, this is a subreddit for cuckolds and their hotwives. While this adult content is not for everyone, the audience here is incredibly engaged. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/cuckold gets close to 400 upvotes. There is no verification process.
5. r/aa_cups: is yet another great example of size isn’t everything ;) It’s dedicated to women with AA cups or smaller, and even though it’s under 1M members, it is a beehive of activity. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/aa_cups gets over 300 upvotes. There is a verification process to make sure you are you, and your content fits into the subreddit. If you’re a good fit for this, r/tinytits and r/flatchested are likely to be winners for you too.
6. r/adorableporn: similar to r/toocuteforporn, this subreddit is focused on cute females and their nude images or GIFs. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/adorableporn gets over 300 upvotes. There’s no official verification process and explicit karma requirements, but most accounts will likely need 500+ comment karma for posts to stay up.
7. r/shinyporn: focuses on shiny fetish outfits (latex, rubber, leather) – so unlike most porn subreddits, most of the content here is fully clothed. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/shinyporn gets over 300 upvotes. This is also one of the easier subreddits to post to — comment karma requirement is only 50+ and no verification is needed. If you’re a good fit for r/shinyporn, you can find the best BDSM subreddits here
8. r/dnd_nsfw: is an ode to Dungeons & Dragons. It’s on the smaller side in terms of # members but the fanbase is enthusiastic to say the least. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/dnd_nsfw gets close to 300 upvotes. So if you play DnD or have a gaming OnlyFans niche, don’t sleep on this subreddit!
9. r/realgirls: this subreddit should be no surprise, it’s one of the biggest amateur subreddits. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/realgirls gets close to 300 upvotes. The only catch is that there is a verification process, and they tend to only approve posters that have an established history on Reddit.
10. r/tomboynsfw: focuses on girls who look boyish, which is a stark contrast to what you see on r/realgirls. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/tomboynsfw gets over 200 upvotes. There is no verification process, but they have strict requirements on what content qualifies
11. r/gwnerdy: is dedicated to sexy nerds, female or male. This is another no-brainer if you have a nerdy or gaming-based OnlyFans niche, since you can get creative with your content here. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/gwnerdy gets over 200 upvotes. There is a verification process, and all titles must be tagged with the right gender
12. r/neatbush: is dedicated to trimmed bushes, which also means you can be anonymous promoting in this subreddit without showing your face. This is one of the smaller subreddits but the fanbase is passionate! The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/neatbush gets over 200 upvotes. There is a verification process, and if this doesn’t fit your content, you can also try r/bushlovers or r/hairymuffs
13. r/palegirls: is dedicated to women with pale skin. It favors nudes over hardcore scenes, so it’s ideal for solo creators that fit this niche. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/palegirls gets over 200 upvotes. No verification needed, although given the size of the subreddit, it will most likely need at least 200-500+ comment karma
14. r/ssbbw: is dedicated to BBW women that are 400+ lbs. This is a great example of Reddit embracing all kinds of OnlyFans niches. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/ssbbw gets over 200 upvotes. No verification needed. If you’re a good fit for r/ssbbw, you can find the best BBW subreddits here
15. r/afrodisiac: is dedicated to black women and black couples through nude or non-nude content. In a similar vein, there are many OnlyFans subreddits for Ebony creators, Asian creators, Latina creators, and more. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/afrodisiac gets over 200 upvotes. Verification is optional
16. r/pawg: focuses on phat ass white girls. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/pawg gets over 200 upvotes. Verification is required. You can also try other Ass subreddits here
17. r/asiancumsluts: focuses on asian girls and cum. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/asiancumsluts gets over 200 upvotes. Verification is required
18. r/humongousaurustits: is dedicated to the biggest boobs, DD cup and up, natural or augmented. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/humongousaurustits gets over 200 upvotes. Verification is required
19. r/lesdom: is focused on lesbian scenes. It’s one of the smaller subreddits on this list, but it gets strong engagement. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/lesdom gets over 200 upvotes. No need to verify
20. r/onoff: is focused on showing what a girl looks like both clothed and unclothed. You don’t need to post with your face, so you can discreetly promote your OnlyFans here. The average post submitted through FanGrowth to r/lesdom gets over 200 upvotes. No need to verify
Best OnlyFans subreddits for your niche
The 20 best OnlyFans subreddits for promoting your page cover a wide range of niches, so they won’t all be a perfect match for your content.
As we mentioned before, if any creator can be posting in the same subreddits you post in, your OnlyFans subreddits are too generic. So what are the best subreddits for you?
Here’s a good checklist to find OnlyFans subreddits to promote in:
- Focused on a topic that fits your OnlyFans niche
- Has high activity in the form of upvotes and comments. This matters more than # members since some big subreddits have died over time
- Have a high standard for quality either through optional or required verification – while this creates more hoops for creators to jump through, the higher bar for content means more active Reddit users stick around
- Allow creators to have OnlyFans links in their Reddit profile, even if direct links in comments are not allowed – sometimes the subreddit rules will say this explicitly, but if you’re unsure, you can always check the accounts of top posters in the subreddit to see if they have links in their profile. Everything in our list of NSFW subreddits should allow you to keep OnlyFans links in your profile
Here's a simple process to help you Identify your OnlyFans niche. First, start by describing your content along these lines:
- Body type (BBW, chubby, petite, etc.)
- Body features (big ass, small boobs, long legs, etc.)
- Style (goth, geeky, cosplay, etc.)
- Unique qualities (glasses, piercings, tattoos, etc.)
- Fetishes (BDSM, feet, pee, etc.)
- Age (teen, MILF, etc.)
Once you have your keywords that describe your content, it's time to match them with the right subreddits using our categorized NSFW reddit list. Pick a keyword and use the search bar on our page to find relevant subreddits. Repeat this for all of your keywords to create a list of subreddits that match your content. Our NSFW subreddit list also tells you whether you need to verify for each subreddit.
Reddit shortcuts
Each OnlyFans subreddit has its own set of rules for content, how often you can post, and words that can and cannot be used in the caption of the Reddit post.
You can track all of this manually in a spreadsheet, or you can use the FanGrowth tool to automate everything. We pull in each subreddit’s rules and trending content so you can quickly see if your content fits in:
You can also search by keyword or category to find subreddits that work for you. We even suggest related OnlyFans subreddits that do not need verification based on what you’ve picked to help you reach new audiences.
Some subreddits only allow direct uploads of GIFs and images, not videos. No sweat - FanGrowth can convert your uploaded videos to GIFs in batch. Other NSFW subreddits only take links like Redgif.
It's hard to keep track of all these details, so FanGrowth will validate your posts against these rules before you schedule them, including title formats and words:
