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 · There is a designated developer-promotion day — disclose affiliation; many devs put links in the post or comments.
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: question, showcase, discussion
Headline = short direct question or product/announcement. Write in first person, candid and informal; body posts are typically a few paragraphs with personal experience, lists, or feature notes. Upvoted: clear requests for alternatives, detailed user reports, transparent dev posts (often on a designated promo day). Avoid blunt advertising except on the community's developer-promo window and always disclose affiliation.
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/chatbotrefugees'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.
