This subreddit is for local content about London, Ontario. The description says it welcomes local news, photos that showcase the city, informative posts, favourite venues, hangouts, restaurants, cafes, shops, art galleries, and anything else related to London, Ontario. The community calls itself diverse and inclusionary. People who post here are locals sharing what is happening in the city, asking about places and things to do, and discussing local news.
The rule named Self-Promotion/Advertising is the one that decides whether a marketing-adjacent post survives. It says content creators are expected to be active members of this sub and that the user base is not a pool for you to market your business. The rule named Surveys, Research/Market Requests, etc bans all surveys and research requests outright. The rule named WEEKLY THREAD: Events | Buy/Sell | Fundraisers | Free Stuff | Lost & Found | Petitions funnels events, buy and sell posts, and fundraisers into a single weekly thread. The rule named Duplicate (or similar) posts | Relevancy/off-topic requires you to search first and stay relevant to London, Ontario. The rule named Ad Hominem | Spam/Trolling | Doxxing will catch repeated or unrelated advertising as spam. The rule named News Links/Articles - edited headlines requires news posts to use the original headline without edits. The rule named Help Wanted / Job Search posts redirects all job content to a separate subreddit. The rule named Brigading prohibits cross-posts and links to threads in other subreddits.
A good post here is something genuinely useful to people in London, Ontario, and it must be specific to the city. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, the only safe path is to become an active member first, as the rule named Self-Promotion/Advertising states. Share local knowledge, answer questions, and participate in discussions before you ever mention your own work. If you have a local event, it must go in the weekly thread, not as a standalone post. If you share news, post it as a link using the exact original headline. Before you post anything, use the search bar to check whether something similar was posted recently, because the rule named Duplicate (or similar) posts | Relevancy/off-topic will catch repeats. Keep your titles clear and descriptive, since the rule named RELEVANCE removes vague topic headers.
The rule named Self-Promotion/Advertising says commercial and business advertisements will be removed with a warning, and prolific advertising on reddit will likely result in a ban. The rule named Surveys, Research/Market Requests, etc removes all surveys and research requests regardless of affiliation. The rule named WEEKLY THREAD: Events | Buy/Sell | Fundraisers | Free Stuff | Lost & Found | Petitions says events, buy and sell, lost and found, free stuff, and petitions posted outside the weekly thread will be removed. The rule named Help Wanted / Job Search posts removes any job search or hiring content. The rule named Duplicate (or similar) posts | Relevancy/off-topic removes posts that duplicate recent content or are not specific to London, Ontario. The rule named Ad Hominem | Spam/Trolling | Doxxing removes clickbait links, vague topic headers, and repeated or unrelated advertising. The rule named Brigading removes cross-posts and links to threads in other subreddits. The rule named News Links/Articles - edited headlines removes posts that alter the original headline. The rule named Redundant / Repetitive Post removes low-effort posts about minor accidents, driving complaints, police sightings, and common questions like where to live or whether the power is out.
