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 · Use the Monthly Self Promotion Post for any project/business links — outside that, self-promotional posts are discouraged and removed; referral links are forbidden there.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, question
Headline: short milestone or question (e.g. “[Milestone] Reached ₹1 Cr | 31M”). Write in first person, include age/role, concise portfolio breakdown and key takeaways. Typical post = 200–800 words, reflective and practical, informal but data-driven. Upvoted: honest milestones, clear numbers, lessons; Removed: overt product/advertising posts outside the monthly self-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/fire_ind'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.
