Subreddit rules check

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 · When promoting a tool/course, disclose your affiliation and give concrete context or ask for feedback rather than a pure sales pitch.
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 short, specific question or a first-person problem/lesson (e.g., “How do you…?”, “First lean job, my …”). Write in first person for stories; be concrete about role, plant scale, and metrics. Typical length: a few short paragraphs (150–600 words). Tone: practical, curious, professional — actionable detail and honest trade-offs get upvoted; thin sales pitches or vague promotion get ignored or removed.
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 October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/leanmanufacturing'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.
