This community is for people who live in or care about Salt Lake City and the surrounding communities in Utah. The public description says it is a subreddit for Salt Lake City, UT and the surrounding communities, and the rules say posts and comments must be directly related to Salt Lake City or Utah. The SLC Metropolitan Area is considered SLC for the purposes of this subreddit. People post here to talk about local topics, ask questions, share news, and discuss things happening in the area.
The rule named "No advertising or fundraising" is the one that decides whether your post survives if you are a founder or marketer. It says posts and comments advertising products, selling tickets, seeking funds for GoFundMe campaigns, and related topics will be removed. It also says answers to posts or comments seeking recommendations are allowed, and donations to charities are also allowed. The rule named "Related to SLC or Utah" means your post must be directly tied to Salt Lake City or Utah, and just because something is found in the city does not make it on topic. The rule named "No posts with misleading titles or editorialized headlines" says the title of the link being shared must match word-for-word the title of the article. The rule named "No low-effort posts" means photos without context, vague requests, and non-specific questions will be removed. The rule named "Use search before posting" means reposts may be removed and questions that show no research may also be removed.
A good post here is one that is directly about Salt Lake City or Utah and adds something real to the local conversation. If you are a founder doing respectful Reddit marketing, the safest path is to wait until someone asks for a recommendation that your product fits, then answer that request honestly and helpfully. You can also share a local news article as long as your link title matches the original headline word-for-word and you keep your opinion in the comments. If you want to post a question, make sure it is specific, shows you did some research, and has not been covered in the last week. A good post shows you searched first, cares about the local area, and follows the rule named "Related to SLC or Utah".
Avoid any post or comment that advertises a product, sells tickets, or seeks funds, because the rule named "No advertising or fundraising" says these will be removed. Avoid asking where to find recreational pot, shrooms, or other psychedelics, because the rule named "No illegal posts" says posts about topics that break the law will be removed. Do not ask for legal or medical advice, because the rule named "No legal or medical advice" says those questions will be removed. Do not post personal information like names, phone numbers, or emails, and do not post about a missing person unless a police report has been filed and proof has been sent to the mods. Avoid rants, negativity, brigading, or pitchfork-type posts, because the rule named "No rants, negativity, brigading, or pitchforks" says the community will not be your attack dogs. Do not post unsubstantiated rumors that cannot be backed up from a credible source. Do not share a link with a title you made up or changed, because the rule named "No posts with misleading titles or editorialized headlines" requires the title to match word-for-word.
