Ask the mods firstLinks permitted

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.

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: question, discussion, showcase

Headline: a specific Korean-language question or short personal anecdote (e.g., “How do you pronounce...?”, “I’m losing my 부산 accent”). Write in first person, include Hangul/examples, 1–4 short paragraphs. Tone: polite, curious, conversational. Posts that show effort and give concrete examples get upvoted; vague/no-context questions get ignored.

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/korean'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.
