1. Science communication platforms: Promote websites like IFLScience or Scientific American that often feature physics - related content and could potentially link to the subreddit. 2. Physics simulation apps: Mention apps like Algodoo which can be used to create physics simulations, and suggest users share gifs from these apps if relevant. 3. Online science courses platforms: Promote Coursera or edX courses on physics, and encourage students to share gifs related to what they learn. 4. GIF - making tools: Promote tools like Giphy Capture or ScreenToGif that can be used to create gifs of physics experiments or simulations. 5. Social media science groups: Promote Facebook or Twitter groups dedicated to physics where the subreddit can be shared and cross - promoted.
1. Only post gifs that clearly demonstrate a physics principle. 2. If the gif is from a simulation, briefly explain the setup and how it relates to physics. 3. Do not post gifs that are offensive or inappropriate. 4. The physics principle should be identifiable without prior knowledge in most cases. 5. Credit the source of the gif if it is not self - created.
