Subreddit rules check
r/ros
Can you promote here?
The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.
From the rules · State whether you mean ROS (ROS1) or ROS2 and follow the support guidelines; blatant ads or low-effort promotional posts will be 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: showcase, question, guide
Headline: short, specific and technical (e.g., “Built: ROS2 Nav2 costmap editor” or “Trouble: ROS2 Jazzy nav stuttering”). Write in first person for projects; be concise but include logs, screenshots/GIFs, repo links or minimal reproducible examples. Typical length: 150–800 words. Tone: technical, polite, helpful. Upvoted: well-documented demos, troubleshooting posts, learning resources. Removed: vague help requests or blatant/low-effort ads.
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/ros'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.
