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 · Message the moderators to arrange AMAs; self-promotion rules aren’t explicit here—ask mods before posting commercial or product-promotional content.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: news, showcase, discussion
Title: concise and descriptive (prefix with 'Research:', 'Showcase:' or 'Discussion:'). Use first-person for project posts; include clear photos/videos, hardware/specs, and links to papers/code. Typical length: short-to-medium (one paragraph + technical details). Tone: factual and technical, no hype or wild speculation. Upvoted: real robots, solid research, clear demos; removed: off-topic, rude, or purely promotional content.
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/robotics'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.
