Subreddit rules check
r/socialwork
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 · This subreddit removes client requests for professional advice — it’s explicitly for social work professionals and students, not for client-facing advice.
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: story, discussion, question
Headline: short, specific, often first‑person (e.g., “I passed the LMSW!”). Posts are typically first‑person accounts or questions (200–800 words) with a candid, professional, sometimes venting tone. Upvoted: personal experiences, workplace ethics, licensure/career questions, and news affecting social work. Avoid client help requests and overt advertising/self‑promotion without prior mod approval.
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/socialwork'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.
