Can you promote in r/archlinux?
A subreddit for the Arch Linux user community for support and useful news.
The short answer
Provide helpful, on-topic answers first; if you mention your product or company, disclose affiliation briefly and avoid promotional language or links unless explicitly requested or allowed by mods.
What works here
- On-topic technical help and discussion about Arch Linux
- Sharing personal projects that are high-quality, human-maintained, and have 90+ days history
- Referencing relevant tools/software used on Arch when directly helpful
What gets posts removed
- Unsolicited advertising, lead-gen, or low-effort promotional posts
- Posting images/screenshots or meme content
- Heavy AI-generated posts without disclosure or projects lacking maintenance history
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditScope restriction
Subreddit is dedicated to Arch Linux-only topics and directs derivative distro questions elsewhere, so vendor replies must be strictly relevant to Arch.
Anti-spam / quality rule
Trolling, spam and low-quality posts are disallowed, so promotional or salesy messages risk removal or bans.
Personal projects policy
Personal projects are allowed but must be human-maintained, transparent about AI use, and demonstrate 90 days of history/maintenance.
Community norms
Posts should follow Arch Code of Conduct — be respectful and helpful rather than promotional.
