Subreddit rules check
r/sleepstories
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 creators disclose “this is my own project” and link to YouTube in top posts; no explicit promo rule is shown in the provided rules text.
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, showcase, question
Headline = descriptive title plus a short subtitle (often with run time). Body often in first person for creators (“I’m Leo, the creator…”); question posts are short, problem-focused. Typical length: short to medium. Tone: gentle/soothing for stories, empathetic for help requests. What gets upvoted: original bedtime tales with narration or helpful, specific sleep-advice; avoid blatant spam or heavy marketing without disclosure.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

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.
