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 · Personal website links are explicitly permitted, but homework is banned and commercial/self-promotional posts should be cleared with moderators.
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, question, discussion
Headline: short descriptive subject. Use first person for experiments/demos and include clear photos, procedure, and concise captions. Typical length: image post with 100–400 words or short Q/A. Tone: technical, educational, curious. Upvoted: hands‑on labs, striking images, thoughtful questions; removed: homework, memes, illegal synthesis, low‑effort pics, or blatant ads. For promotions ask mods first or make post overtly educational.
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/chemistry'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.
