r/aww

Can you post your project here?

Posts must be original content that makes people go 'aww'. Do not ask for interaction, post sad content, use captions or memes, or link to social media. Ensure linked media is from an approved host.

Before you post: Rule 8 states that accounts must comply with Reddit's self-promotion guidelines, and typically subreddits focused on specific types of content like 'aww' discourage or ban most forms of self-promotion in favor of general content. Rule 9 states original content is required.

The rules, in their words

1. No "sad" content: No "sad" content, such as pics of animals that have passed away (try /r/petloss), animals that have been injured/abused, or sob stories (e.g. found him in a dumpster, finding abandoned animals, sick/survived cancer).

2. No captioned pictures/videos: No comics, captioned pictures/videos (try /r/lolcats, r/cute, or /r/animaltextgifs), or photos of just text. No memes or snapchat captions. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_2)
3. No asking for interaction (asking for upvotes, names, etc): No post titles asking for upvotes or approval, such as "any love for...", "what does /r/aww think of...", or "this didn't get much love on...", or "karma machine", "sort by new", "don't scroll past", "not your typical aww", "r/aww needs more [X] animals," "name my pet." [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_3)
4. No harassment: No slurs or harassing comments. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_4) This includes racial slurs, sexually inappropriate comments, and personal attacks on users or their animals. Examples include: pitbull "statistics", reduction of animals to food items (e.g. calling a cow a burger/steak, calling a pig a bacon, anything about Asian people eating cats/dogs), advocating animal abuse, etc.
5. Posts must link to sites on our approved list: When linking to images/videos hosted outside of Reddit, please refer to the [approved list of sites](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_5) before posting.
6. No NSFW content: This includes not only inappropriate images but also inappropriate text, innuendo, or inappropriate jokes in comments. No comments about how dangerous certain domesticated breeds are, or about eating the animals in the post. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_6)
7. No asking for donations or adoptions: No asking for donations, sponsorship or adoptions (try /r/care or /r/assistance). [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_7)
8. No bots, bot-like behaviour, or spam: No bots or bot-like behaviour. This includes copypasting titles and/or comments, or generally acting like a script/bot. No flooding (more than 4 posts in a 24 hour period). Accounts must comply with the Reddit self-promotion guidelines. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_8)
9. Original content only: Only post content that is yours. No false claims of content ownership. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_9)
10. No social media: No links to social media content, whether in comments, submissions, image/video descriptions (including imgur gallery descriptions for direct links), or as superimposed text in an image. Handles are okay in comments as long as they're not links. [>>>>more>>>>](https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/wiki/index#wiki_rule_10)
11. We're here to help, but please provide a link/URL when you modmail us: If you need to contact the mods, you'll need to provide a link/URL to whatever it is that you're talking about. Failure to do this may mean that you get ignored. We have other users to help as well, and making us dig through your profile to find an issue means we have less time to help others and deal with the rest of the subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Faww
