Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · Requires 18+ and posts auto-archive after six months; self-promotion rules aren’t stated—ask moderators before posting promotional content.
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: showcase, guide, discussion
Headline: descriptive + tool/topic (e.g., “My Digital Garden in Obsidian — 6 months in”). Write in first person, include screenshots or a short tour link, explain your workflow, lessons learned, and actionable tips. Length: medium (300–1,000 words) or a concise thread with visuals. Tone: reflective, practical, and helpful. Posts that get upvoted are useful case studies and tooling guides; avoid one-line promos or pure adverts.
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/digitalgarden'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.
