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 · Do not post music or promote releases; any self-promotion or commercial posts should be cleared with moderators first.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, question, news
Headline: concise, descriptive question or news-style title. Use first-person for experience/case-study posts; news can be neutral/third-person. Typical length: ~150–600 words. Tone: candid, professional, sometimes confessional. Upvoted: specific industry problems, data/links to sources, actionable advice, personal horror stories. Removed: song uploads, release promotion, salesy product posts or CTAs—ask mods before any self-promo.
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/musicindustry'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.
