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 · Promotional posts require prior mod approval; excessive self-promotion may lead to bans.

Links

Only specific link types are allowed (docs, papers, non-commercial). Commercial links are removal bait.

What this community rewards

Dominant post formats: question, showcase, discussion

Title: short descriptive question (e.g., 'What fabric is this? / Help finding this fabric'). Post in first person with clear macro photos, scale/dimensions, context and close-ups; body 2–5 short paragraphs. Tone: curious and factual. Upvoted: ID requests, sourcing help, high-quality images and measurements. Removed: advertising or promo links—ask mods before posting products.

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/textiles'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.
