Can you post your project here?

Self-promotion posts are not explicitly mentioned. However, the rules emphasize high-effort content that contributes to quality discussions, and prohibit low-quality memes, reaction gifs, and karma-baiting. Posts offering minimal value or just stating enjoyment are discouraged.

Before you post: Must contribute to quality discussion, avoid low-effort content, and not be karma-baiting. Explicit self-promotion is not detailed, but implicitly discouraged if it doesn't add value. Follow any pinned megathread instructions.

The rules, in their words

1. This subreddit is for the single player mode only!: Please take any and all multiplayer posts over to /r/TheLastofUsFactions. Any threads regarding Factions will be removed, unless you think the post is suitable for both subreddits. Use your judgement wisely. Reposts & crossposts from r/abandonedporn, as well as abandoned posts in general, may also be removed.
2. No spoilers in titles, and comments in non-spoiler-marked posts should have proper spoiler tags.: To mark a thread as containing spoilers, simply add [SPOILERS] to the title. This does not, however, hide title spoilers outside oldreddit, so never include spoilers in titles! When discussing crucial plot points of the game in a thread that is not already marked by spoilers, please use spoiler tags.
3. No unnecessary rudeness or hostility: Do not resort to name calling. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism are not tolerated. Posts with the intention of bad-faith trolling, brigading, or inciting toxicity towards this community are forbidden. Profanity is tolerated unless directly insulting another user. Please keep comments under cosplays clean. Offensive, sexual, or otherwise disrespectful comments will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban. Bans may be handed out at moderator discretion.
4. Credit the artist when posting art: When posting any concept or fan art, make sure to give credit to the artist. Any posts that don't include a source or the artist's name will be removed.
5. No Let's Plays or Reaction Videos at Full Length: All Let's Play series or long-form Reaction videos will no longer be permitted to be advertised on the subreddit and posting them will result in deletion. Posting a short clip or a compilation video may be allowed.
6. Low quality memes & reaction gifs are banned: If you just take a meme template that's going around and apply a TLoU twist to it, it will probably be deleted. Exceptions may exist when a meme is completely adapted to TLoU content and high effort. As a general rule of thumb, if your meme has TLoU in the image or gif, and it looks like it took effort to make (like it was actually drawn by you, and you didn't just paste Joel's head on top of a meme template), then it should be approved. Repeat offenders may get banned.
7. Make sure posts contribute to quality discussions: Make sure your posts incite enriching discussion. Avoid text posts that contain the same statements made by previous users, or things like "OMG BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED" or "DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THAT...". Similarly, avoid pictures of the game menu or cover with "About to start for the first time!" or "Love this game!" These posts don't contribute anything and most of the time do not incite discussion. As always, exceptions can be made by moderator discretion.
8. No karma-baiting titles on posts: Any posts that are blatantly asking for upvotes will be removed on sight. Examples of karma baiting titles: - "<--Number of people who..." - "Upvote if you...."
9. Only 2 posts every 12 hours per user: To prevent the cluttering of the sub, each user is only allowed to make 2 posts every 12 hours.
10. Refer to Pinned Megathreads Before Posting: If there is an active megathread up on the subreddit, please direct all comments and inquiries there instead of making a post. This is to avoid redundancy. For the HBO series, episode-related posts have a 48H softban from date of release and will be directed instead to its specific megathread. However, some posts will be given exceptions if they warrant a discussion significant enough for its own thread. Such posts are approved on the moderator's discretion.
11. The following types of posts are not allowed:: The following posts are not allowed: - posts about the r\thelastofus2 subreddit are not allowed. We do not associate ourselves with them in any way, and we do not condone any sort of raiding or mutual toxicity - posts about leaks and unconfirmed rumors - "abandoned porn" style pics of overgrown landscapes or buildings/windows - screenshots of cutscenes without appropriate context (a question/comment/observation) [Check out our Rules Page for the Full List and Reasons!]
12. The following types of posts are not allowed (p2):: - screenshots of the hotel generator - screenshots of the basement ambulance - screenshots of the giraffes - screenshots of cordyceps found IRL - screenshots of NSFW clicker genitalia - the clicker easter egg reference in an episode of "The Amazing World of Gumball" - posts that ask whether or not playing the games or watching the show is "worth it?" - posts that ask whether to play the games or watch the show first - news articles about real-life fungal spread and infections
13. TEMP - Ashley Johnson Situation: This post or comment has been removed because it is about a sensitive topic regarding Ashley Johnson. Her team has asked this information to stay as private as possible due to the knowledge of it being shared against her wishes.
