Can you promote here?

Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.

From the rules · No explicit promo rules in the sidebar, but the community and posters discourage product/website plugs — ask moderators before posting promotions.

Links

No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: story, question, discussion

Headline: short, personal or questioning (“I…”, “Does ADHD…?”). Write in first person, candid and vulnerable. Typical length: brief post or a few short paragraphs (100–400 words). Tone: empathetic, raw, sometimes profane; practical tips and relatable anecdotes get upvoted. Avoid overt marketing, clinical grandstanding, or long promotional copy — those get removed or downvoted.

Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/adhd's rules page before posting anything that matters.

Thread Otter checks this before every send

These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
