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 community rules are visible here — check the sidebar or message the moderators before posting product links or 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: guide, news, discussion
Use long, authoritative, third‑person/technical posts (How/Guide/Explainer headlines). Aim for data-backed analysis, architecture diagrams or stepwise pipelines, and enterprise-focused recommendations. Tone is professional and solution-driven; top posts read like CTO/engineering-leader briefings rather than casual questions or memes. Avoid short promotional blurbs — contact mods before posting obvious product/agency promotion.
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 September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/app_developer'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.
