Can you promote in r/actuallesbians?
/r/actuallesbians — a place for cis and trans lesbians, bisexual girls, chicks who like chicks, bi-curious folks, dykes, butches, femmes, girls who kiss girls, birls, bois, aces, anyone in the LGBT+ community, or anyone else interested! We're not a militant or exclusive group, feel free to join up!
The short answer
Participate as a normal community member, only reply when you add genuine value, avoid overt promotion, optionally mention your product briefly and transparently if directly relevant, and ask moderators for approval for anything explicitly promotional.
What works here
- genuine on-topic discussion and help
- sharing resources when directly relevant and useful
- asking mods for approval for meetups or stickied posts
What gets posts removed
- unsolicited advertising, recruiting customers, or lead-generation style posts
- link-heavy promotional posts or DMs soliciting business
- posting external chatrooms or groups without mod permission
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditOn-topic requirement
Posts must relate to queer women — responses should be relevant to the community rather than sales pitches.
No soliciting DMs / not a dating subreddit
The sub explicitly says it is not a dating subreddit and cannot guarantee DM moderation, so private solicitations for business or hookups are discouraged.
External chat advertising restricted
Public chatrooms other than the official Discord may not be advertised, indicating restrictions on promoting external channels.
Mod approval for meetups/stickies
If you have a meetup idea and want it stickied, you must message moderators — implies moderators should be consulted for community-facing promotional events.
No explicit vendor/self-promo rules
The rules do not mention self-promotion, product launches, or commercial participation, so policy is not explicit.
