Can I promote my product here?
The public rules page displayed no rules, and the moderator line asks only that posts stay relevant to top lane gameplay and discussions.

Rule summary
No subreddit-specific rules were displayed on the public rules page when Rankhog verified it on 2026-09-27.
Works well
- A written guide on a specific top lane matchup or wave management topic, framed as help for new players.
- A short gameplay clip of your own with one honest question about what you could have done better.
- A plain take on a recent meta change that invites other top laners to argue with you.
- A tool or resource you built that helps with top lane play, offered as a contribution with context and a request for feedback.
- An answer-style post that responds to a common new player question, like how to handle a hard matchup or when to split push.
Avoid
- Posting a link drop with no gameplay context, since the moderator guidance keeps everything anchored to top lane content.
- Writing about your product in a way that has nothing to do with playing top lane, which fails the relevance line.
- Dropping into the community only when you want traffic, because a room with no written rules still reads post history.
- Assuming no rules means no standards, when the description explicitly lists guides, discussions, and highlights as the point of the place.
- Copying a generic marketing post into the subreddit without reshaping it around lane play and the meta.
What r/topmains Is For
This is a community for top lane players, built around helping new players, discussions, highlights, meta changes, guides, opinions, and more. The description says it plainly, this is a place to talk about top lane gameplay and have fun doing it. People post here to share clips, ask questions about matchups, react to meta shifts, and write guides for others. It welcomes new players, so the tone is open rather than gatekeeping. If your post would make sense to someone who spends time in the top lane, it fits the room.
What To Post
Lead with something useful to a top lane player. A short guide on a matchup, a breakdown of a recent meta change, or a clip with a question attached all fit the description directly. If you are a founder, the respectful path is to join as a player first. Share your own gameplay, answer questions from new players, and build a small history of helpful posts. When you have something you made that genuinely helps top laners, like a tool or a written guide, frame it as a contribution and ask for feedback. Tie every post back to actual gameplay, because that is what the description promises the community is for. With no published rules, the safest read is the moderator one-liner itself, stay relevant to top lane gameplay and discussions.
What To Avoid
There are no published rules here, so nothing is formally forbidden on paper. What decides survival is relevance. The moderator line says to keep posts relevant to top lane gameplay and discussions, and that is the one clear signal. A pure promo post with no connection to playing top lane goes against that line even without a written rule to break. Generic marketing copy, self promotion with no gameplay value, and off topic content are the obvious ways to fail here. In a rules-light community, moderators and members judge fit by the community description, so a post that reads like an ad rather than a contribution is the main risk.

Common questions about r/topmains
Are links allowed?
The evidence does not say. There are no published rules about links, so there is no written green light or written ban.
Is AI-written content allowed?
Nothing in the rules or the description covers AI content, so there is no written position either way.
Do I need a certain account age or karma to post?
No follower or visitor limits are stated anywhere, so this is not something the published rules address.
What is this community actually about?
The community is for new players, discussions, highlights, meta changes, guides, and opinions about top lane, so a founder who plays the lane has material to work with.
