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 · Market‑research/survey requests are actively discouraged (there's been a proposed ban) — avoid obvious self-promo or ask the mods before posting product/survey links.
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, story, question
Short, punchy headlines; write in first person or post a photo with a brief caption. Keep posts short (1–3 paragraphs) and image‑forward. Tone: practical, sarcastic/humorous, hands‑on. Upvoted: repair photos, failure porn, quick PSAs, troubleshooting stories. Removed/downvoted: off‑topic, blatant ads, market‑research/survey asks, or low‑effort 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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/industrialmaintenance'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.
