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 · Only the monthly “Share Mine” promo post is the permitted place to present or link to things you’re affiliated with; outside that self-promo/affiliate links are removed and the promo thread has extra comment restrictions.
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, showcase, guide
Short, descriptive headlines (often gear/model names or direct questions). Posts are first-person or direct requests for advice, typically short to medium length (one-paragraph post + photos/links or a few short comments). Tone is practical, friendly, hobbyist/pro; upvotes reward useful tips, gear photos, clear how-tos and problem fixes. Promotional posts are removed unless in the monthly promo thread.
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/fieldrecording'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.
