Subreddit rules check
r/spectacles
Can you promote here?
The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.
From the rules · No explicit promo rule is visible in the rules text; the community routinely accepts developer/project posts — lead with demos and technical detail rather than pure marketing.
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, discussion, news
Headline: ProjectName — short descriptor (e.g., ‘Core Boom - Spatial Shooter’). Write in first person when sharing builds; include a short demo video/GIF, link to the Lens/site, and 100–300 words of technical detail or instructions. Tone: enthusiastic, maker-focused and lightly technical. Upvotes reward playable demos, how-tos, launch updates and concrete tips; fluff, vague asks, or reposts without media get little traction.
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 October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/spectacles'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.
