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 · No explicit rule text about promotions; however, users frequently complain about app advertisements — avoid promotional posts unless you check with mods.
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: showcase, discussion, guide
Short, descriptive headlines (include beta/build when relevant). Write in first person or community voice; posts range from one-line reactions to multi-paragraph how-tos with commands/screenshots. Tone: enthusiastic/technical and design-focused. Upvoted: clear screenshots, UI observations, constructive bug reports, step-by-step tweaks or terminal commands. Avoid any form of app advertising or obvious promotion — those are called out by users.
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/macosbeta'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.
