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.

What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, question, discussion
Headline: include [APP/Beta][Android][Closed Test] + short descriptor. Post in first person (developer/maintainer) or as a direct request for testers. Keep body short (1–3 short paragraphs): what the app is, target devices/Android versions, how to join (opt-in URL or APK method), what feedback you want, and any NDA/limits. Tone: factual, polite, technical. Upvoted: clear test invites with reproducible steps and useful screenshots; Removed: blatant ads, vague “try my app” posts or posts lacking how to join/what to test.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/androidclosedtesting'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.
