What its rules say about promotion

No spam or self-promotion
Referral links, fundraising, or repeated self-advertising require prior moderator approval.
All 10 rules of r/OpenWebUI
  1. Adhere to Reddit's rules
    All posts and comments must comply with Reddit’s Content Policy; violations will be removed and may result in bans.
  2. Be civil and respectful
    Harassment, hate speech, slurs, or personal attacks are not allowed under any circumstances.
  3. Keep it on-topic
    Content must relate directly to this subreddit’s focus (Open WebUI, Ollama, OpenAI, and DIRECTLY related features or topics); far off-topic or political detours and other clearly unrelated content will be removed.
  4. No spam or self-promotion
    Referral links, fundraising, or repeated self-advertising require prior moderator approval.
  5. Use descriptive titles and correct flairs
    Titles should summarize your post clearly; clickbait, vague, all-caps, offensive, massively exaggerating otherwise misleading or harmful titles will result in the post being deleted. Flair your post correctly.
  6. Avoid low-effort posts and reposts
    Frequently reposted material may be taken down at moderator discretion. If you have a question or want to discuss a topic, provide ample context and/or describe your topic/issue/discussion in great detail. Before posting a question, please spend a reasonable amount of time searching for existing questions that may provide an answer.
  7. Protect personal information
    Do not share anyone's private or identifying details, including your own. If we suspect your post may be leaking your own or someone else's personal information, we will take it down to uphold privacy.
  8. Uphold a constructive environment
    Helpful bug reports (though, better open them on GitHub), feature suggestions, and respectful critique are encouraged and more than welcome! Hostile rants (e.g., "Why is this STILL not fixed?!", "Yet another useless feature and XYZ wasn't worked on, yay!") or similar abusive language will be removed and in case of recurring violation, may result in temporary or permanent bans. We want to uphold a constructive environment; and such hostile/hateful rants are not helpful.
  9. No Misinformation, Unverified Claims, or Astroturfing
    Any factual claim must link a reputable source. Deliberately posting misinformation or otherwise spreading false information is strictly prohibited. Unsupported “trust me”-type posts, distorted data, or fake grassroots campaigns (astroturfing) will be removed and will very likely lead to a permanent ban. Mods can request proof, lock threads, and escalate temporary, up to permanent bans for repeat or coordinated offenders.
  10. (Extreme) Off-Site Misconduct
    **SEVERE** off-site behavior that violates our rules - *can* trigger a proactive ban here. This rule is **used only in rare and extreme cases** and is **reserved for topics directly associated with Open WebUI**. This rule is only used in circumstances where content that, if posted word-for-word in r/OpenWebUI, would earn an instant permanent ban - and is directly related to Open WebUI. One civil appeal via modmail is allowed within 48h; abusive or repeat appeals will be ignored.

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.
