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 shown here; self-promotion appears in top posts but policy is unclear — message the mods before posting commercial links or promotions.

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: story, news, showcase

Headline: short, plain Swedish (often location or brief punchline). Body: 1–3 short paragraphs, usually first‑person for incidents or a single-line caption for photos. Tone: informal, local, sometimes blunt/angry or wry. What gets upvoted: local incidents, news, photos, questions about living in Göteborg; avoid off-topic spam or obvious mass-promotion.

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/gothenburg'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.
