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 rules shown; many developers openly share apps — always disclose your role and include a demo/link or screenshots.

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: showcase, question, discussion

Short, casual posts (title + 1–3 short paragraphs). Titles often start with a challenge or first-person (‘Built…’, ‘Can you beat…’, ‘Struggling…’). If you're the creator, disclose it up front, include a demo/link, and ask for feedback or scores. Tone: friendly, enthusiastic, game-like or helpful. Posts that are playable, concrete, or invite participation get the most attention.

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/mentalmath'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.
