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 · Many posters link resources or say “Link in the comments”; the visible top posts include personal free resources and product-testing requests, so ask mods if you plan repeated promotion.
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: guide, showcase, question
Headline that promises a practical payoff (e.g., “Before your next SQL interview…” or “Day 35 — Finished…”). Write in a helpful, conversational first-person for stories/experiences and neutral/how-to for tutorials. Typical posts are short-to-medium length with examples, code snippets or step-by-step tips and concrete takeaways. What gets upvoted: actionable interview tips, worked examples, practice resources and shared repos; avoid one-line ads — show value first, put detailed links in comments if possible.
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/learnsql'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.
