Subreddit rules check
r/zettelkasten
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 · All tool/book/course promotions (paid or free) must go in the monthly Self‑Promotions post (AutoModerator); other promo posts/comments will be removed.
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: discussion, question, guide
Headline: a concise question or an invitation (e.g., “Your October Zettelkasten Work” / “How to begin…?”). Use first‑person for experiences; open with a clear problem or project. Posts are medium-length, thoughtful, and practical — include examples, tools, and workflows. What gets upvoted: specific, reflective posts and detailed how‑tos; what gets removed: product/tool promotions posted outside the pinned monthly self‑promotion thread.
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/zettelkasten'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.
