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 · Mod approval required for surveys; advertising medical services and herbal supplements are banned; posts often hit the spam filter — message mods if yours disappear.
Links
Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, question, guide
Headline = short personal story or direct question (e.g., “Just diagnosed — what now?”). Write in first‑person (patient or caregiver). Typical length: ~150–400 words. Tone: kind, candid, hopeful, practical. Upvotes go to personal experiences, concrete tips, helpful explanations or reputable study links; posts removed/downvoted = ads, repeated external promo, unapproved surveys, herbal supplement pitches.
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/parkinsons'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.
