What its rules say about promotion
Posts Must Be High-Quality Food Photography
All posts must be related to food photography. **Any user accounts that promote sexual images are not allowed here.** Low-effort images (poor lighting, bad plating, visible utensils, hands, or partially eaten food) will be removed. This includes blurred edges of the food or blurry portions of the image. This is not a dumping ground for r/food content - make an effort.
High-Quality Food Only
Submissions must showcase visually appealing, well-prepared, and thoughtfully presented food. Simple or low-effort meals (e.g., plain breakfast cereal, frozen fish sticks on a plate, fast food in its packaging) are not allowed. Dishes should demonstrate effort in presentation, lighting, and composition. If in doubt, consider whether your submission could be featured in a professional food magazine or high-end restaurant menu.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No AI generated or edited photos
Food photos must be of real food photographed with a physical camera device by a human being. Zero-tolerance policy, you will be banned for breaking this rule once.

Titles must include the dish name (e.g., "Antipasto with Parma ham, olives, gruyere cheese, and breadsticks"). Non-original content (non-OC) must credit the creator in the title. If it's your image, tag it as [OC] in the title. Flair is also available. Low-effort titles will be removed. This includes IG, x, FB domain tags. - Limit One Non-OC Post Per Day
You may post only **one** non-OC submission per day. - Recipes Must Be in Plain Text
If including a recipe, post it as plain text in the comments. Links are allowed but must be accompanied by a full text version. - Be Civil
Keep discussions respectful. Personal attacks, rudeness, and hostility will not be tolerated. Hateful, rude, or antagonizing comments/posts will be removed, and users may be banned at the mods' discretion. Do not engage with trolls or gatekeep content. If you are concerned that a post does not belong here, report the post or message the mods. Please allow some time for mods to attend to reports and modmail. - High-Quality Food Only

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
