Where do teachers hang out online?
Sunday, 9 p.m. A seventh-grade teacher has five subjects, one weekend left, and a lesson plan that lives in four tabs. She does not want an app. She wants Monday to be survivable. She asks other teachers, and teachers can smell a sales pitch from across the staff room.
That scene is a composite, not a real person. The rooms below are real, picked by hand, and nobody paid to be on this list.
The rooms where teachers already talk
- r/Teachers: Working teachers; help first, pitch never.
- r/edtech: Tools and platforms for classrooms.
- r/teaching: Practice and materials talk.
- We Are Teachers: Classroom ideas and teacher stories; earn trust before any product mention.
- Edutopia: What works in education; comment with classroom reality, not a feature list.
- Computer Science Educators SE: If you serve CS or coding teachers specifically.
Rules change. Read each sidebar before you post, and check whether self-promotion is allowed at all.
How to post there without getting removed
Answer a lesson-planning question with your tool as the second sentence, not the first.
- Write a post that is useful even if nobody clicks your link.
- Say plainly that you are the maker. People forgive a builder; they do not forgive a disguise.
- Stay for an hour and answer every reply. The comments are where the first users come from.
- Post in one room, learn, then adapt the words for the next. The same text pasted into three rooms reads as spam in all three.
Your next two moves
Run the finder on your own app →
The finder matches your one-line description against every niche map, then gives you a checklist, a share link and a fill-in-the-blanks first post written for r/Teachers.
Then find teachers on X: seven saved searches that catch people describing the problem right now, built for the word lesson plan. Change it to your own.
Builder rooms, for feedback rather than customers
- r/SideProject: Best default builder room for "I made this."
- r/indiehackers: Solo founders; revenue and lessons beat polish.
- r/alphaandbetausers: Ask for specific testers and say what they get.
- r/roastmystartup: Cheap, blunt landing-page critique.
Builders give great critique and rarely pay. Use these for testers, then go back to the rooms above. More in Best subreddits to launch a SaaS.
