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 · Weekly promo thread is the only place to post links to your show; follow its format and limit links to 1 show + 1 episode.
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: showcase, question, discussion
Headline: short, direct (often a question or ‘Looking for…’ / first-person story). Posts are medium-length, casual and practical. Open with a problem, request, or the weekly “Promote your podcast” format. What gets upvoted: honest progress posts, specific asks (guest/co-host/offers), and help/growth questions. What gets removed: standalone promotions outside the weekly promo thread or multiple links.
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 October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/podcasters'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.
