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 posts use short tags like [SMT] — check the sidebar or flair rules before posting.

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: question, story, discussion

Short, punchy title (often an imperative: “Somebody make…”, a question, or a one-line idea). Write in first person; body is a few concise paragraphs describing the problem, desired features, and example use cases. Tone = curious, constructive, practical. Posts that clearly state a real problem and an actionable idea or prototype get upvotes; vague or low-effort ideas attract little attention.

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/somebodymakethis'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.
