Can you promote on r/craftsnark?

Allowed, with limits Its rules allow sharing your own work, with conditions they spell out.

A little sister sub for r/blogsnark focused on craft industry snark, drama, news, and gossip; critiques of monetized craft influencers; and discussion of social issues in the craft industry. All crafts are fair game. We also discuss our own projects and musings in weekly threads.

What its rules say about promotion

Link yourself in moderation
We love to see your works and welcome links to your own FOs when appropriate. Rule of Thumb: Don’t Link and Run. If you want to post links to your store/YT/monetized SM to show off your work, cool! If you want to comment on someone's post about fit with your blog comparison of three different relevant patterns, hell yeah! But a link with no context or relevance is obnoxious and unwelcome.
All 9 rules of r/craftsnark
  1. Consequences of rule breaking
    Rule breaking will result in a temporary or permanent ban depending on severity. Appeals to redeem yourself are approved per mod discretion. Attempts to evade bans will be addressed.
  2. Don't snark on unmonetized hobbyists
    The focus of the sub is monetized crafting content, influencers, and businesses. If the subject does not make money off of the crafting community, the post will be removed. If you feel uncomfortable discussing a particular business/person/influencer, consider whether your post reflects the type of snark this sub exists for. **EXCEPTION:** Minor-aged influencers are banned subjects even if they’re monetized.
  3. Example(s) REQUIRED
    Please provide an example (or more) of a monetized influencer/business involved with the trends/activities you're snarking on. It can be the actual figures being snarked on OR unrelated companies that are also participating in the snarked trends/activities. If you feel hesitant about including names then consider if the snark is worth posting about. Failure to add examples will result in immediate removals.
  4. Don't be shitty
    There is a difference between "[Patternmaker] has poorly written instructions and a limited size range" and “[Patternmaker] is an idiot and so is anyone who purchases their patterns." Do not name-call or personally insult people (even if they might deserve it). Don’t use slurs even if you’ve reclaimed them.
  5. No trolling/derailment
    Keep comments civil and on-topic. Do not derail threads by trolling or engaging in excessive arguments. While political discussion related to crafting and crafters is allowed, some topics consistently lead to derailment and comments will be removed at mod discretion.
  6. Body talk is positive or neutral
    The crafter/creator/model's body is right the way it is. The garment/pattern should be changed (by the individual) to fit the body, not the other way around. Appropriate examples: "the pulling suggests she needs a broad back adjustment"; "those look too tight in the seat"; "the garment is the wrong size." Unacceptable examples: “she's too fat for that"; "wrong body type for [garment]"; "looks like she's had too much botox"; anything about weight loss for aesthetic/health purposes.
  7. No low-effort/-quality posts
    **THIS SUB IS NOT BEC.** Posts with limited content, pure shitpost, or just plain spam will be removed. Ranting about how something is ugly is not good enough; you must add some depth to your post. Search the sub if your topic has been posted recently or has a dedicated thread. We don’t want to beat a dead horse (i.e. Joann’s).
  8. Contain snark to this sub
    Do not leave snark at businesses/influencers’ pages based on posts here. If you were already interacting with them prior to posting here, then removal will be up to mod discretion.
  9. Link yourself in moderation
    We love to see your works and welcome links to your own FOs when appropriate. Rule of Thumb: Don’t Link and Run. If you want to post links to your store/YT/monetized SM to show off your work, cool! If you want to comment on someone's post about fit with your blog comparison of three different relevant patterns, hell yeah! But a link with no context or relevance is obnoxious and unwelcome.
