Channel by channel
As of October 2026, from each platform's own rules:
| Channel | Adult content | AI disclosure | Best use |
|---|
| Reddit | Only in communities that allow it, labeled NSFW | Community rules on AI vary; check each one | Taking part in niche communities |
| X | Allowed with a content warning; never in the profile photo, header or live video | The adult policy covers AI-generated media; say the character is AI | Daily posts, teasers and a pinned link |
| Instagram | Not allowed, including AI-generated imagery | Say the character is AI in the bio and captions | SFW character posts and Stories |
| TikTok | Generally not allowed | Required for realistic AI content | Short SFW clips |
| Fanvue | Allowed for paying fans; public media must suit mainstream social media | An AI label on the account and on discovery cards | A second platform with an AI category |
Reddit
Reddit can send interested fans straight to you, but it punishes accounts that only drop links. Its sitewide rules ask you to follow each community's rules, participate authentically without spamming, not impersonate anyone deceptively, and label sexually explicit content.
Communities set their own policies on AI-generated content, and they change often. Some welcome disclosed AI characters and some ban them. Check each community's rules and sidebar before you post, and don't assume a rule you read last month still holds.
- Build a posting history in the communities you care about before promoting anything.
- Say the character is AI in your profile and wherever a community asks for it.
- Post the format each community asks for, and respect any limits on how often you post.
- Never post other creators' content, and never use a real person's likeness.
X (Twitter)
X is one of the few large platforms where labeled adult content is allowed. Its Adult Content policy (dated May 2024) says it applies to AI-generated media too, asks regular adult posters to set their media settings so images and videos sit behind a content warning, and bans adult content in profile photos, headers, live video, List banners and Community cover photos.
- Mark your media as sensitive in your account settings rather than post by post.
- Keep the profile photo and header SFW.
- Pin a post that says who the character is, that she is AI, and where to find her.
- Post on a steady schedule; a character who shows up every day is easier to remember.
Instagram and TikTok: the SFW funnel
Instagram and TikTok can introduce the character to a large audience, but neither allows sexual content. Meta's rules remove AI- or computer-generated sexual imagery, and TikTok's guidelines generally don't allow sexual activity, with limited exceptions such as education and art. Use these platforms for the character, not for what you sell.
- Post the character's everyday life: outfits, places, routines and behind-the-scenes edits.
- On TikTok, apply the AI label to realistic AI content, as its guidelines require.
- Keep captions and bios free of explicit language, and send people to your link page.
- Use our Instagram growth guide for AI creators and the Instagram post size guide for formats.
Link-in-bio pages
A link-in-bio page sits between your social profiles and your paid pages. It lists OnlyFans, Fanvue and anything else in one place, and you can change it without editing every profile.
- Keep the page itself SFW, since your SFW profiles link to it.
- Say the character is AI on the page as well.
- Give each channel its own tracked link so you can see which one sends paying fans.
- Read each social platform's rules on bio links before adding links to adult sites.
Fanvue as a second platform
Fanvue is worth considering as a second home for an AI character. It treats AI creators as a verified category: the human owner verifies, Fanvue labels the account as AI, and the label also appears on its discovery and recommendation cards. One verified identity can run up to 15 AI accounts and 2 human accounts.
Fanvue's rules for public media decide whether a profile stays in its Discover section. Swimwear, lingerie and boudoir content is fine if it is opaque, not posed explicitly, and suitable for mainstream social media; a first offence takes the profile out of Discover until the media is fixed. Fees and payouts are in Is Fanvue legit?, and the platform choice in Fanvue vs OnlyFans.
One warning: Fansly's Terms ban photorealistic AI content, so Fansly is not an option for a photorealistic character. The full comparison is in Fansly vs OnlyFans.
