Ask the mods firstLinks permitted

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 · Links are commonly put in the first comment; several recurring accounts post news/roundups (disclose affiliation or check with mods if promoting your own product).

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: news, showcase, discussion

Short, factual headlines (eg “This week in UK tech: …”) with a one- or two-sentence summary and an external link (often placed in the first comment). Mostly third-person/news voice or brief first-person announcements. Keep posts concise, professional and UK-focused; timely local tech news, company announcements or data roundups perform best. Avoid overt ad copy — disclosure of affiliation and moderator approval is safest.

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/uktechscene'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.
