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 · Use the weekly 'Music Melting Pot' thread for artist/self-promotion and include listening links and brief context.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, story
Headline shape: 'Artist — Song [Genre] (Year)'. Use brief first-person or neutral one-liner below the title. Keep posts short (title + 1–2 sentence comment), casual and music-nerdy. Upvoted posts highlight obscure/interesting tracks with clear genre tags and a listening link; avoid posting overt self-promotion outside designated threads.
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/listentothis'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.
