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 · Contact the moderators for any promotional, crowdfunding, research or meetup/AMA requests — self-promo and fundraising require prior approval.

Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: news, showcase, discussion
Headline: short, factual and explicitly NZ-related. Use first person for personal stories/photos and third person for news. Typical length: short link/image posts or concise self-posts for anecdotes/analysis. Tone: civil, conversational, locally focused and topical. What gets upvoted: timely NZ news, strong local photos, honest first-person accounts, useful data/comparisons. Removed: off-topic posts, duplicate news, promotional links, doxxing, hate speech.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/newzealand'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.
