# Community answers and Reddit

> How the agent finds the Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Exchange and Quora threads that AI answers cite, and drafts a reply you post yourself. Nothing is ever posted for you.

AI answers often cite a discussion thread: a Reddit post comparing tools, a Hacker News comment, a Stack Overflow answer. When one of those threads decides an answer to a prompt you track, a good reply from you on it is one of the few changes that can reach the answer directly.

## On by default, and never posted

Community answers are **on by default** for every workspace, including existing ones that never touched the setting (`community_answers_enabled`). If a person switches the setting off, it stays off.

**Drafts are never posted.** The agent writes the reply and leaves it in [Work](/agent/inbox) for you to read, edit and post from your own account. There is no setting that makes Attensira post to a community on its own, in any [approval mode](/agent/approval).

## How threads are found

Threads are picked from the [deciding sources](/measure/deciding-sources): the pages AI answers cite for your tracked prompts. Threads on **Reddit**, **Hacker News**, **Stack Overflow and the Stack Exchange sites**, and **Quora** qualify.

Reddit threads are read together with their **subreddit's rules** and whether the thread **still takes replies**. No draft is made for a thread that is locked, archived or removed.

The agent's `find_community_threads` tool does this lookup. It is free and read-only, and `web_fetch` reads Reddit threads free of charge. See [The agent's tools](/agent/agent-tools).

## The rules every draft follows

The tool that files a draft refuses one that breaks these, whatever the agent intended:

* **Disclosure.** A reply that names your product must include a plain disclosure line, such as "Disclosure: I work on Acme." An undisclosed mention is refused.
* **One link, last.** At most one link to you, alone in the last paragraph, after the reply has answered the question. A link before the answer, or a second link, is refused.
* **Self-promotion rules.** When the subreddit has a self-promotion rule, a note on the draft says so.
* **Account floor.** On Reddit, the reply is meant for a real person's account at least **90 days** old with at least **100 karma**. Below that floor nothing is proposed.

The agent also works to these:

* **Evidence first.** A draft is made only for a thread an answer actually cites, and it carries that answer's own words, the engine and the date it was read.
* **Rules beat the draft.** A subreddit rule that bans promotion or links removes the mention, not the rule. If the rules could not be read, the draft says so and you read them before posting.
* **One reply per thread.** Never a second reply, a reply for a colleague to agree with, or a planted question.
* **Nothing to add is an answer.** If an existing reply already says it, no draft is made.
