Subreddit rules check
r/website
Can you promote here?
The written rules take no clear position, which is NOT permission: unclear communities enforce norms through removals instead of rulebooks. Sort by top, study which builder posts survived and how they were framed, and when in doubt ask the mods.
From the rules · No explicit self-promotion rules visible — community frequently shares personal websites; if you plan to push a commercial product, consider asking 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, question, guide
Headline: short and specific (often first-person for showcases or a clear question). Post body: 1–3 brief paragraphs + screenshots or a direct link. Typical length: short — title + concise context or request. Tone: practical, friendly, feedback-seeking or problem-focused. What gets upvoted: real projects, clear screenshots/links, helpful how-to or recommendation requests; what gets removed/downvoted: low-effort posts, obvious spam/affiliate pushes or purely promotional copy.
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 August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/website'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.
