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 · Use the weekly Community Showcase thread for single-link promotions (it limits each comment to one link); otherwise post genuine devlogs or progress updates and ask for feedback.
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, story, discussion
Use a clear, descriptive title (first-person devlog or short announcement). Posts are usually mid-length devlogs or short progress updates with screenshots/videos and an informal, helpful tone. Lead with a brief summary (what you built/changed), then technical details or lessons learned. Showcase threads are best for single-link promotions; community feedback and transparent process posts get upvoted.
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 October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/devblogs'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.
