Can you promote in r/localllama?
Subreddit to discuss locally hostable AI.
The short answer
Participate normally, add value first, disclose any affiliation, keep promotional content rare (well under ~10% of your posts) and prefer relevant flairs/threads (tutorials, resources) rather than cold outreach.
What works here
- Answer questions and share expertise on Llama/LLM topics
- Share tutorials, guides, resources or new-model posts with relevance
- Mention your product/company if clearly disclosed and not dominant
What gets posts removed
- Direct solicitation or frequent promotional posts
- Engagement farming phrasing like 'I found this...' without disclosure
- Posting primarily commercial/material that is LLM-generated or impersonates humans
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditLimit Self-Promotion rule
Requires ~1/10th guideline and disclosure of affiliation, discouraging frequent promotional content
Topicality requirement
Posts must be related to Llama/LLMs, so vendor content must be relevant to stay allowed
Low-effort & content rules
Low-effort posts may be removed and LLM-generated copy must be disclosed, so high-effort transparent contributions are expected
Flair categories in sidebar
There are flairs like Tutorial/Guide, Resources, New Model — use them for product-relevant, substantive posts
