Subreddit rules check

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 · Bracket tag in title is required; market research, blog‑spam, and exclusively self‑promotional posts are prohibited.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, news, discussion
Title must include one required bracket tag ([theory],[practice],[building],[technical],[news],[misc],[ask]). Use concise, descriptive headlines (name/architect/location/date/photographer when available). First‑person anecdotes OK but most top posts are neutral third‑person photo/showcase or short news/discussion. Keep post body brief and informative; high‑quality images and clear attribution get upvoted. Avoid overt self‑promotion, blogspam, job solicitations, or requests for unpaid work.
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/architecture'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.
