Subreddit rules check
r/shortcuts
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 · Many top posts link to iCloud or RoutineHub and focus on usefulness — there’s no explicit promo rule in the visible sidebar, so ask the mods if you plan to heavily promote a paid 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: showcase, guide, question
Headline usually starts with “I made…”, “Built…”, or “How to…”. Write in first person, 1–3 short paragraphs: what the Shortcut does, why you made it, key steps/features, and an install link (iCloud/RoutineHub). Tone: practical, help-first, slightly technical. Top posts include screenshots, usage notes and shareable links; low-effort or purely salesy posts get downvoted or removed.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/shortcuts'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.
