Subreddit rules check
r/miniatures
Can you promote here?
The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.
From the rules · Blatant advertisements and direct links to YouTube are explicitly banned — credit others and don’t post gaming/model-war minis or obvious product promotions.
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
Headline: short descriptive visual (e.g., “1:12 walnut kitchen — my latest build”). Write in first person (“I made/painted this”), include scale and materials. Keep body brief, image-focused (multiple clear photos or close-ups), optionally a short build/process note. Tone: friendly, proud, helpful. Upvoted: original, well-photographed miniatures and process; Removed: blatant ads, gaming minis, direct YouTube links, stolen/AI work.
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/miniatures'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.
