Subreddit rules check
r/mealime
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’re the creator of a replacement/tool, explicitly disclose that — many top posts identify authors as developers and the community expects transparency.
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: discussion, showcase, guide
Short, plain headlines (e.g. “Mealime shutting down” or “I built a Mealime replacement”). Write in first person when sharing tools/solutions; posts are typically concise-to-medium length and informal. Upvoted content: practical migration/export guides, working alternatives, importers, and honest user experiences. Be transparent if you built a tool; community rewards usefulness and clarity, not salesy language.
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/mealime'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.
