Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion or sharing personal projects is not explicitly mentioned. Posts focus on fake historical events, requiring specific title formats and adherence to a five-year rule. All content must be hosted on RES-compatible sites.

Before you post: Self-promotion is not directly addressed, but given the subreddit's specific focus on fake history, a personal project post is unlikely to fit the theme and may be removed if not framed as a 'fake history' piece. Ensure titles include a date at least 5 years old and content is hosted on Imgur, Gfycat, or i.redd.it.

The rules, in their words

1. All posts must have a coherent title and a date that is at least 5 years old.: * All posts submitted must have clear, readable text. The description and date must be in the title. Dates must not be in the future. * As if it needs to be said, but any posts with a date in the future will be removed. If you think you've found a clever way around this and try to message the mods about it you'll be met with ಠ_ಠ.
2. All posts must be submitted to RES compatible sites, such as Imgur and Gfycat.: * All posts must be submitted to RES compatible sites, such as Imgur, Gyfcat or reddit's own image host i.redd.it. * Reddit's own gif/video host, v.redd.it, is not allowed due to bugs and poor user experience overall.
3. No reposts. The image/title combination must not have been posted in the last 2 months.: * No reposts. The image/title combination must not have been posted in the last 2 months. There is no limit on the posting of the same image with a new title. * No reposting any image + caption combos currently featured on the **[repost moratorium](https://imgur.com/a/T6ZiCry)**.
4. No History Memes.: * Adding captions (twitter-style, /r/adviceanimals style, or otherwise), photoshopping in (or AI-generating) people or objects, or doing similar things to put the entire punchline or history reference in the image are not allowed. You are free to post history memes with Fakehistoryporn-style titles over on /r/fakehistorymemes. * For more information on how we define history memes, read our [post guidelines](https://reddit.com/r/fakehistoryporn/wiki/post_guidelines).
5. The Five-Year Rule.: * No posts whose titles concern events within the last five calendar years (2020-2024). * Post titles clearly referencing events happening within the last five years but with a complaint date (e.g., "Nancy Pelosi steps down as Speaker of the House, 2004") will still be removed. See the "think you've found a clever way around this" clause in Rule 1. * Posts about events within the last five years can be posted on /r/fakehistorymemes.
6. Breaches reddit's content policy: Your post or comment breaches [Reddit's content policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy) so the moderators are obliged to remove it.
