Subreddit rules check

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 · Use the Weekly Episode Thread (Thursdays ET) for episode links/feedback; posting a link to your show as a new post can get you banned; promo posts/products need moderator pre-approval.
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, guide
Title: short, descriptive (topic/equipment/issue). Lead with a clear question or discussion prompt. Write in first-person or neutral how-to tone; aim for medium length (concise context + specific details). Upvoted: practical troubleshooting, production tips, tutorials, constructive critique. Removed/downvoted: direct episode links, blatant self-promotion, “kudos” milestone posts, vague ‘listen to my show’ posts.
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/podcasting'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.
