| r/indiehackers | A community for bootstrapped founders who build and sell their own products, sharing revenue, stacks and failures. SaaSCity notes it is not run by the people behind the indiehackers.com website. | Reported by several sources | |

| r/AppIdeas | A community where developers, entrepreneurs and creators share and refine ideas for apps. It is for ideas rather than finished products. | Reported by one source | |
| r/EntrepreneurRideAlong | A community where founders post ongoing, detailed diaries of building a business so others can follow along. It values honest progress updates over polished success stories. | Reported by several sources | |
