Can you promote in r/localllama?
Subreddit to discuss locally hostable AI.
The short answer
Be helpful first: provide a useful, non-promotional answer, disclose your affiliation briefly if relevant, keep promotion minimal (aim under ~10% of your activity), and follow flair/format guidelines if they exist.
What works here
- Answer questions with technical help or links to resources
- Mention your project/product when clearly relevant with disclosure
- Participate regularly so promotional posts remain a small fraction
What gets posts removed
- Posting obvious ads, solicitations, or engagement-farming
- Making multiple promotional posts without prior community participation
- Posting primarily LLM-generated content without transparency
Where this comes from
Limit Self-Promotion
Self-promotion should be minimal (1/10th guideline) and affiliations must be disclosed, so vendor posts are allowed only when not excessive and transparent.
Low-effort & authenticity rules
Low-effort posts may be removed and LLM-based bots/primarily LLM-generated content are disallowed unless transparently used, so replies should be substantive and human-authored.
Topical requirement
Posts must be related to Llama/LLMs, so vendor content must be clearly relevant to the subreddit subject.
