What its rules say about promotion
Do not spam
Creators are essential to Anki's ecosystem. We allow responsible self-promotion, but ask you to contribute organically and avoid spam. Posts that largely promote without meaningful participation may be removed; repeat offenses lead to suspensions. More commercial or less Anki-related projects are likelier to be removed. When sharing projects, state pricing and license and post it directly – no "DM me for a link." Genuine ecosystem activity is required, not just engagement for promotion.
No research for other products/services
r/Anki is not a platform for market research or surveys unrelated to Anki. Posts soliciting feedback or gathering data for products/services outside the Anki ecosystem will be removed (e.g. research for decks/add-ons is OK, research for an Anki competitor is not OK). For Anki-adjacent projects that might fall under this rule, contact mods for approval before posting. Our self-promotion guidelines as per rule 3 apply here as well. Repeated violations may result in bans.
No low-effort AI content
AI-assisted posts and projects are fine, as are tools bringing AI features to Anki, but the bar for quality, effort, novelty, and utility is high. Non-native speakers using AI to communicate is also ok. If your project was largely AI-built, disclose it. Posts that read like unedited AI output, or projects that lack substance or polish, may be removed. Self-promotion (Rule 3) and market research (Rule 5) rules apply with extra scrutiny. When in doubt, post to r/AnkiAI instead.

Community support is one of /r/Anki's main focuses. Deleting your posts as soon as your question is solved is unfair both to users who provide that support in their free time, and to future users who might have the same question. If we find that you routinely delete answered posts with no apparent reason, we reserve the right to exclude you from participating on /r/Anki. - No research for other products/services
