Subreddit rules check

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 · No explicit promo rules are shown here; many top posts are personal projects/links — if you plan sustained self-promo, message the mods first.
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, data, guide
Title: short, descriptive, often start with 'I made' or '[OC]' or a question. Write in first person for projects or plain descriptive for datasets; include a 1–2 line summary plus a link/demo and one screenshot or GIF. Typical post = a single-image/interactive demo with a short paragraph and tech stack; tone is technical, helpful, and visual. Upvoted = clear, original visuals or usable tools; avoid clickbait or low-effort screenshots.
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/visualization'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.
