Subreddit rules check

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 · The visible rules don’t mention self-promotion or linking — ask the moderators before posting promotional content and check the subreddit sidebar; posts/threads are auto-archived after 6 months.
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: showcase, discussion, data
Headline: short, technical description (e.g., “Sim2Real: robot grasp success after domain randomization”). Use first-person when posting a project/showcase and third-person for general research discussion. Keep posts concise (100–400 words) with key results, visuals, and links to code/metrics. Tone: objective, reproducible, evidence-focused. Upvotes go to clear experiments, reproducible artifacts, and failure analyses; low-effort or overtly promotional posts get downvoted/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 July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/sim2real'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.
