Can you promote in r/localllm?
Subreddit to discuss locally run large language models.
The short answer
Participate organically, provide helpful technical answers first, disclose your affiliation briefly when relevant, and keep promotional content to under ~10% of your contributions.
What works here
- Answer technical questions about locally run LLMs
- Share projects/demos sparingly when directly relevant
- Link to your work occasionally if disclosed and not dominant
What gets posts removed
- Posting frequent unsolicited ads or repeated recruitment/lead-gen
- Making posts that are largely promotional without value
- Trying to evade moderation by duplicating posts under review
Where this comes from
Limit Self-Promotion
Self-promotion is allowed only to a limited degree using a 1/10th guideline — implies founders can post but must keep promotional activity minimal.
On-topic requirement
Posts must relate to locally run LLMs, so product mentions should be clearly relevant to the discussion.
Follow platform rules
Reddit's Content Policy applies, so avoid spammy or manipulative promotional tactics.
No duplication
Do not repost similar content while under moderator review — repeated promotion risks a ban.
