What its rules say about promotion

Be Respectful
Be nice to others and promote productive discussions. Do not be mean or rude—there's a difference between tough love and being rude. As a community, we should help each other and not put each other down. Remember that we all have been beginners at some point. We all had questions and worries. If you cannot be nice, move on.

Do Not Spam
No buying, selling, advertising, or links to commercial pages. Do not just spam out your links--especially if they are affiliate links. Do not blindly upvote your own content or ask anyone else to. Try to be a good member of the community and be helpful first.

What its rules say about AI and bots

No A.I.
Fermentation is all about manifesting and continuing culture, using slow natural processes. Although it may not seem obvious that A.I. might be used here—and hopefully it wont—using A.I. images and/or text could lead to individuals fermenting improperly, and potentially even in ways that are hazardous to their health. A.I. is is the antithesis of fermentation.

What the written rules don't show

Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
