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 · Promotional content must go in the weekly stickied 'Share Your Stuff' thread; shop links are only allowed via user flair.
Links
Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, story
Headline: short, direct question or complaint (e.g., “Should I ask for a refund?”). Use first person, tell your situation in a few short paragraphs. Tone: candid, slightly frustrated or seeking advice. Top posts are troubleshooting, review/shipping drama, AI/Temu complaints and seller-to-seller questions. Do not drop shop/listing/service plugs — those get removed.
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/etsy'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.
