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 flair/weekly promo thread or karma minimum listed; community commonly accepts dev progress and tester requests but avoid blatant marketing or spammy posts.
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, question, guide
Title: short, explicit — mention engine/platform or the feature (e.g., “Quest water shader — performance-friendly approach?”). Use first-person (“I’m building…”), include 1–3 screenshots/video links and a concise description (2–6 paragraphs). Tone: technical, humble, feedback-seeking. Upvoted: concrete demos, code/technical details, clear questions, playtest invites. Removed/downvoted: blatant marketing, hype-y CTAs, off-topic hardware flame wars.
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/vrdev'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.
