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 · Recent related sub and its owner were reportedly banned after heavy cross-posting — be cautious about cross-posts/brigading.

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: discussion, question, news
Short, blunt headlines that open with a question or candid statement; posts are usually first-person anecdotes or analytical critiques of Buddhism and its claims. Typical post = short title + one or a few medium paragraphs. Tone: skeptical, sometimes sarcastic or weary. Upvoted: honest ex-Buddhist stories, doctrinal questions, and critical analysis; avoid obvious brigading/cross-posting.
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/exbuddhist'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.
