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 · Only diagnosed individuals are expected to post (there's a pinned megathread for suspected/undiagnosed questions); this is a support/safe‑space — be kind.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, question, discussion
Headline: short, first‑person (e.g. "Update:", symptom or question). Write in first person; posts are medium length (a few short paragraphs). Tone is raw, emotional but supportive; include concrete details (diagnosis, meds, tests, numeric values). Upvoted: personal experiences, updates, questions seeking others' experience; removed: unkind or dismissive content violating the "Be kind" rule.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/iih'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.
