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 · Rules posted are minimal and don’t mention self-promotion explicitly — ask the moderators before posting promotional links or product listings.
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, news
Title: short, descriptive (e.g., “New tee mockup — feedback?”). Write in first person or community-facing tone, keep body to one short paragraph plus images/mockups, include product details and what feedback you want. Casual, helpful posts with clear images get upvoted; avoid salesy language and don’t drop store links without asking mods first.
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/merch'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.
