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 · Do NOT ask for specific legal advice — direct those to /r/legaladvice; questions about self-defense are banned.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, discussion, story
Post as a short, curious question or hypothetical (headline = direct legal question: “Is X legal?”). Use first person for hypotheticals, keep posts short-to-medium, neutral/casual tone with some humor allowed. Upvotes go to clever hypotheticals, clear explanations, or newsy legal curios; removed content asks for specific legal advice, doxxes, or breaks the self-defense embargo.
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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/legaladviceofftopic'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.
