Subreddit rules
Can you self-promote in r/localllama?
What to do in r/localllama
Promotion is not banned here, which makes the shape of the comment the only thing standing between you and the downvotes. Answer the question completely first — if deleting your last sentence would still leave a good comment, you have it right — then mention what you built, with a one-line disclosure that it is yours.
Build a little history before you need it. A profile with ordinary participation in this subreddit reads as a member with an opinion; an account whose every comment mentions the same domain reads as spam no matter how well written this particular one is.

r/localllama: questions
Does r/localllama allow self-promotion?+
Its rules do not ban it outright, as of our last check on 2026-08-04. That is not a licence to drop a link: answer the question first and disclose that it is your product, or the comment gets downvoted whether or not a moderator touches it.
How current is this?+
We last read r/localllama's rules on 2026-08-04 and re-check on a schedule. Subreddits change their rules after spam waves, so treat this as a strong prior and the sidebar as the authority.
How do I know if my comment was removed?+
Open the thread in a private window while logged out and look for it. A removed comment still looks normal on your own profile, which is why people spend weeks posting into a void without noticing.
