The short answer
Be transparent, provide helpful non-sales content first, disclose your affiliation, avoid repeated/self-serving posts, and contact moderators if unsure.
What works here
- sharing recommendations when genuinely helpful
- including product/project mentions with disclosure
- visual posts (images/videos) to support points
- engaging with commenters and answering questions
What gets posts removed
- spammy or repeated self-promotion
- purely commercial posts or hard selling
- off-topic promotion without moderator approval
- posting without clarifying promotional intent
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo spam or aggressive self-promotion
Rules explicitly ban spam and aggressive self-promotion but say recommendations are welcome.
Clarify promotional intent
Guides posters to contact moderators if unsure whether content is promotional, implying disclosure/approval is needed for borderline posts.
Engagement & visuals encouraged
Posts should include visuals when possible and authors must engage with commenters, supporting substantive, helpful participation over adverts.
Topicality requirement
Stay on topic to avoid removal, so vendor posts must be relevant to AEO/LLMO subjects.
