Subreddit rules check

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 · Use [OC] for original content; many top posts include external links and project promos, but the rules here do not state an explicit self-promotion policy.
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: showcase, discussion, guide
Headline: short, descriptive (often one word or '[OC]'). Use first person for projects ('I built...', 'I made...') and terse descriptive titles for artwork. Body: short post with technical parameters or links; long parameter lists are often in comments. Tone: technical, enthusiastic, modest. Upvotes go to high-quality renders, deep-zoom videos, and useful tools/projects; avoid low-effort, off-topic posts.
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/fractals'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.
