Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · No explicit rules visible here; many top posts are developer release announcements—check with mods before broad promotional posts.
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, news, discussion
Headline: short version (e.g., “Joshu 0.1.44: Proactive Mode!”). Body: first-person dev voice, technical changelog bullets and short examples, upgrade instructions, and links (GitHub/site). Medium length (a few paragraphs to several hundred words). Tone: technical, enthusiastic, developer-focused; concrete details and actionable notes get upvoted.
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 September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/joshu_backrooms'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.
