By Anthony Riera, founder and operator of Rankhog.

Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.

Rule summary

  • Off-Topic Posts: Posts must be directly related to the topic of LLMs or Pygmalion.
  • Self-Promotion/Advertising: Self-Promotion/Advertisement posts for proprietary services are not allowed.
  • Follow Reddit's Content Policy: Please remember to follow Reddit's Content Policy: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

Works well

  • A write-up of lessons learned building or fine-tuning an open-source conversational model, since the community is built around exactly that kind of work
  • A technical comparison of approaches to roleplay or writing with large language models, framed as a discussion starter rather than a pitch
  • A post sharing an open-source tool or model you released, because the self-promotion rule targets proprietary services, so open contributions fit the room
  • A question asking the community how they handle a real LLM problem you hit while building something, which invites expertise instead of pushing a product
  • A walkthrough of a character or prompt setup for roleplay and writing, which is squarely on topic under the first rule

Avoid

  • Posting about a product or service you sell if it is proprietary, since “Self-Promotion/Advertising” bars advertising for proprietary services
  • Dropping a link to your closed-source AI tool with no discussion around it, which reads as an ad and breaks the self-promotion rule
  • Starting a thread about your marketing funnel, your growth numbers, or anything else that is not LLMs or Pygmalion, because “Off-Topic Posts” applies
  • Wording your promo as a fake question or a fake story to sneak past the self-promotion rule, which moderators explicitly watch for
  • Sharing content that breaks Reddit's sitewide policies, since “Follow Reddit's Content Policy” is a stated rule here
  • Treating the community as a launch channel for your roleplay app when the app itself is proprietary, which is exactly what rule two removes

What r/PygmalionAI Is For

This community is for people who discuss large language models for roleplay and writing, and the PygmalionAI project itself, which is an open-source conversational language model. So the room is full of people who care about running and building conversational models, chatting about roleplay use cases, and following the Pygmalion project. The first rule says posts must be directly related to the topic of LLMs or Pygmalion, which tells you the moderators keep the topic narrow on purpose. If your work touches open-source language models, character-based chat, or writing with models, you are in the right place. If your work is a general AI product pitch with no connection to LLMs for roleplay or writing, this is not your room.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Three rules decide everything here. “Off-Topic Posts” says posts must be directly related to large language models or Pygmalion, so any post that drifts away from that topic risks removal. “Self-Promotion/Advertising” says self-promotion or advertising posts for proprietary services are not allowed, and this is the rule that matters most if you are a founder. “Follow Reddit's Content Policy” points to Reddit's sitewide rules and reminds you that community rules sit on top of them. Notice the self-promotion rule is conditional in one important way, it targets proprietary services, so an open-source project is in a very different position from a closed commercial tool.

What To Post

A good post here is on topic first, which means it has something real to say about large language models, roleplay, writing with models, or the Pygmalion project. If you are a founder, the winning shape is a technical contribution, like sharing what you learned building with open-source conversational models, a comparison, a benchmark, or a problem you solved. Discussion of open-source work fits the spirit of a community built around an open-source model. If you mention your own work, keep it open where possible and lead with the knowledge, not the product. The policy brief says AI content is allowed here, so posts about AI-generated roleplay or writing are fair game as long as they stay on topic.

What To Avoid

The clearest way to get removed is promoting a proprietary service, because the self-promotion rule names that directly. The second way is going off topic, since posts must be directly related to LLMs or Pygmalion. Third, break Reddit's content policy and you are out on sitewide grounds, not just community grounds. A softer trap is posting something loosely adjacent, like a general business or marketing question, which does not meet the bar of being directly related to the topic. Remember the community has a specific identity around an open-source project, so a closed product with no technical substance to discuss will look like advertising even if you frame it carefully.

Common questions about r/PygmalionAI

Can I post about my own AI product here?

Only if it connects to large language models or Pygmalion, and only if the rule named “Off-Topic Posts” is satisfied by that connection.

Is self-promotion completely banned?

No if your service is proprietary, because “Self-Promotion/Advertising” says self-promotion posts for proprietary services are not allowed.

What if my product is open source?

Yes, because the rule targets proprietary services, so a genuinely open-source project fits the community's open-source spirit.

Are AI-generated posts allowed?

The community allows AI content according to the policy brief, so the topic itself is not a problem as long as it stays on topic.

How do I keep a post from being removed?

Keep it focused on Pygmalion or large language models, follow Reddit's sitewide content policy, and do not advertise proprietary services.
