Can you promote in r/adhdthriving?

Welcome! This is a subreddit dedicated to living your best life with ADHD. Topics include study tips, interior design advice, your favorite sensory/fidget objects, etc. While this sub centers around ADHD, all are welcome to participate.

The short answer

Contribute value first, disclose affiliation briefly if relevant, avoid promotional language/CTAs, and do not post recruitment/surveys or repetitive advertisements.

What works here

  • Mention a tool or product when directly helping a user
  • Link to helpful products sparingly if not overtly promotional
  • Participate as a regular member before promoting anything

What gets posts removed

  • Directly promoting your app or service as the main purpose
  • Posting surveys, research recruiting, or bots
  • Blatant advertising, sketchy links, or repeated self-promotion

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No spam / no promoting your app

Rules explicitly ban spam and state 'THIS INCLUDES PROMOTING YOUR APP', indicating direct vendor promotion is disallowed.

Product links allowed conditionally

You may link to products that help you, but not blatantly advertise or link to sketchy sites — product mention is permitted only when genuinely helpful.

No surveys or research

Surveys and research studies are explicitly disallowed, so lead-generation or research outreach is prohibited.

Topic focus and self-improvement

Subreddit centers on ADHD management strategies and self-improvement, so interventions should be relevant and value-focused.
