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 · No explicit promotion rules are provided in the header—ask the mods before posting product/self-promo.
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: news, discussion, question
Headline-first, third-person news headlines or short summaries (often the article title); post body usually a short excerpt or a link. Keep posts concise, timely, and sourcing news outlets or official documents. Upvoted: breaking federal news, policy impacts, oversight/whistleblower reports; downvoted/removed: off-topic promotion or non-news memes.
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 September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/fednews'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.
