Rules do not clearly sayLinks permitted

Can you promote here?

The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.

From the rules · No explicit self-promotion rules visible—ask the mods before posting your own product or service.

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: story, question, discussion

Write a news-parody headline (e.g., "X Orders Y") in deadpan third‑person; include a short title and a medium excerpt or link. Typical post length: one-line headline plus a paragraph excerpt or external link. Tone: ironic, topical, absurdist. Upvotes reward clever, clearly satirical takes on current events; avoid obvious product pitches or genuine advertising—ask mods first if unsure.

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 September 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/satire'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.
