Subreddit rules check
r/pkms
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 · Promotional posts should go in the monthly “Self promotion” thread (put product links/comments there); blatant ads/one-line app posts are often removed.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: discussion, showcase, question
Headline: concise, descriptive (e.g., “How do I…”, “I built X — [Open-Source]”). Write in first person for personal projects; body ~150–600 words with screenshots/demos or concrete examples. Tone: practical, humble, thoughtful. What gets upvoted: detailed workflows, real problems, screenshots, open-source projects, honest questions. Avoid one-line ads, inflated marketing language, or low-effort AI/app spam — those get downvoted or removed.
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/pkms'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.
