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 subreddit rules are shown here; many creators post apps/maps — ask the mods before posting overt self-promotion or branded products.

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, question, discussion

Headline: short, local and specific (question or “I made/shared X”). Write in first person for projects/stories; 1–3 sentences for quick questions, ~100–300 words for project posts. Tone: casual, local, helpful, occasionally bilingual (FR/EN). What gets upvoted: useful local tools, original maps/photos, practical questions and civic updates. Avoid hard-sell marketing — be transparent if you’re the creator and ask mods if unsure.

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/geneva'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.
