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 “[Local Business Database]” prefix and read the pinned welcome — include exact file contents and field list in your post.
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: data, showcase, question
Headline: start with a bracketed tag like “[Local Business Database] List of X in Y”. Write in first person or neutral (“Here’s 50…”) and immediately list what’s in the file (row count, fields, notable stats). Typical length: short post plus bullet-style “what’s in the file” details. Upvotes reward comprehensive, clean datasets; avoid vague marketing copy or unrelated sales pitches.
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/localbusinessdb'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.
