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 · If you want a link/resource added or to promote something, contact the moderators — the community curates links; posts auto-archive after six months.
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: discussion, news, showcase
Headline: prefix with Event/Question/Photo and location (e.g., “Event: Mill Valley — Weekend Art Fair”). Write in first person for local tips or third person for announcements. Short posts (1–3 brief paragraphs), friendly/civil tone. Upvoted: local news, event info, park/photos, helpful resources. Removed: inflammatory/off-topic posts, jerky comments — avoid overt self-promo unless you’ve cleared it with mods.
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/marin'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.
