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 · Many posts use an [OC]/series tag or 'Archive' style flair — when unsure about self-promo or flair, message the mods first.
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
Headline: short project name or hook, often with bracketed flair (e.g. [OC], series name). Body: 1–3-sentence logline + link to video/site + brief ask for feedback or note. First-person and creator-posts are common; keep tone informal, mysterious, and lore-forward. Works that show effort, original lore, or polished analog-horror get upvoted; blatant spam/ads or low-effort posts are disliked.
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/digitalhorror'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.
