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 · Weekly curated “IT Pro Tuesday” roundup posts dominate; if posting your own product, ask the mods first and clearly disclose any affiliation.

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, discussion, guide

Headline: put the tool name and a short benefit (e.g., “IT Pro Tuesday #414 - Self‑Hosted PDF Toolkit & More”). Keep posts short and practical (one-paragraph blurb + link, ~50–300 words). Use a professional, helpful tone — say what the tool does, who it’s for, and one concrete use-case. Upvoted: concise tool recommendations, open-source projects, real utilities; removed: off‑topic content or overt salesy 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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/itprotuesday'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.
