Sprout Community Rules

Last updated Sep 13, 2025

Although we try not to limit your expression on sprout, that doesn’t mean there’s not any rules. We’ll try to keep it short and simple.

• Do not go on the mature feed if you’re not 18. The text filter does not change depending on your age. You will be banned if you use the mature feed as a minor.

• Explicit Content: Explicit images are not allowed anywhere. You will be banned immediately if you upload an explicit image, regardless of where it is posted. Explicit text is only allowed on the mature feed, in circles, and in DMs.

• Violence: Do not post unnecessarily violent content on Sprout, especially gore.

• Hate Speech: Hate speech, slurs, racism, or bigotry of any kind will get you banned.

• Self-Harm: Do not encourage anyone to hurt themselves.

• Spamming: Everyone sees the same timeline on Sprout. Do not flood the timeline with repetitive content like counting, it will get you banned.

If you violate these rules, you will be banned. We reserve the right to ban you or delete your account for the reasons listed here.
