You don't post links. The bot does.
You can post text posts. They need to be discussion: no using text posts as a way to plug your own stuff!

How does this work? Radd.it is watching all music submissions on reddit. Whenever it sees an artist that has less than 250k last.fm listeners (a good indicator of relative obscurity), it crossposts that submission here and sets a flair based on the number of listeners. This makes it easy to browse to based on your own obscurity preferences.
We're doing this because there are a lot of lost gems being submitted by unknown artists that will never reach the front page no matter how good they are. This subreddit helps us all keep track of these hidden gems in one convenient location.
For hardcore obscurity lovers, you should also visit /r/under10k.
If you have obscure music you want to share, submit it to /r/listentothis, /r/under10k, or to any of the music genre subreddits. Radd.it will find it eventually and crosspost it over here.
