Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
This is a general community for anything related to Indonesia. The public description welcomes people in English and Indonesian, and asks everyone to follow the rules and respect others. The rules say posts must be about things that take place in Indonesia, happened in Indonesia, or concern Indonesians within the country or abroad. People post about Indonesian current affairs, news, and discussions, and there is a separate 'Ask Indonesians' space for less serious questions.
The rule that matters most for anyone thinking about marketing here is 'No self-promotion/advertisement'. It bans promoting YouTube channels, Discord room invitations, SEO posts or comments, and business or gambling sites. Accounts created solely for promotion will always receive a permanent ban. 'Post and comment something that related to r/indonesia' requires your content to be clearly about Indonesia. 'No repost and spam' means you must search first and avoid repeating posts. 'DO NOT editorialise news headline/Infographics title' requires the exact original title when sharing news. 'Put relevant flair/NSFW or spoiler tag on posts' means flair is required. 'Use the right current affair title' adds that current affairs should match the original source narrative and that news from a portal should use the 'News' flair. 'Not so 'serious discussion'' tells you to use 'Ask Indonesians' for lighter posts. 'Don't use screenshot/photo of news headline in Funny/Memes/Shitpost' keeps news screenshots out of meme content.
A good post here is one that genuinely belongs in the community first and happens to connect to your work second. If you have a product or project relevant to Indonesians, the safest path is to participate as a community member who adds value in comments and discussions over time. If you share news or an infographic, use the exact original title and apply the correct flair, such as the 'News' flair for news portal articles. If you have a question or perspective that relates to Indonesia, make sure it reads as a real contribution, not a pitch.
Do not promote your own channel, Discord server, business, or gambling site. Do not post SEO content or comments. Do not repost content that already exists without checking first. Do not change or editorialise news headlines. Do not skip flair on your posts. Do not put news headline screenshots in Funny, Memes, or Shitpost content. Do not create an account just to promote something, because that triggers a permanent ban.

No. The rule 'No self-promotion/advertisement' bans promoting YouTube channels, Discord invites, SEO posts or comments, and business or gambling sites, and accounts created solely for promotion receive a permanent ban.
Links are allowed according to the policy brief, but self-promotional links are not. Any link should serve the community and be clearly related to Indonesia, not your marketing.
Yes. The rule 'Put relevant flair/NSFW or spoiler tag on posts' makes flair mandatory, and the moderator one-liner confirms posts lacking proper flair get removed.
Yes, but you must use the exact original headline and the correct flair. 'DO NOT editorialise news headline/Infographics title' and 'Use the right current affair title' both require matching the original source, and the policy suggests the 'News' flair for news portal articles.
The rule 'Not so 'serious discussion'' says lighter content should go to 'Ask Indonesians' instead of the main subreddit.
