Subreddit rules check
r/hardware
Can you promote here?
The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.
From the rules · Strict 10% self-promotion rule enforced (repeat offenders banned); no crowdfunding links, no AI-generated content, and do not editorialize source titles.
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: news, discussion, data
Use the original article/link title (no editorializing). Post as neutral, third‑person hardware news or analysis: link + short factual summary. Typical length: brief link posts or 1–3 paragraph self posts; comments should be substantive. Upvoted: timely industry news, technical analysis, verified reports; removed: memes, tech‑support, low‑effort opinion pieces, AI‑generated content.
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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/hardware'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.
