Can you promote in r/aio?
A sub to ask "Am I overreacting?"
The short answer
Do not post promotional content or solicit leads; only participate with on-topic, civil, personal advice and use modmail if you need to contact mods.
What works here
- reply with on-topic, civil advice to personal posts
- use clear paragraphs and proper grammar
- contact moderators via modmail for inquiries
What gets posts removed
- posting product/service promotions or solicitations
- sharing commercial links or recruiting customers
- using AI-generated or fabricated stories
- posting unrelated content
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSubreddit focus
Public description and sidebar state the community is specifically for asking 'Am I overreacting?' so unrelated commercial posts would not fit.
No unrelated content
Rule explicitly removes unrelated content, which would include promotional/vendor posts not directly addressing the personal issue.
Ban on fabricated content
The community forbids AI-generated or fabricated content and bans violators, which increases scrutiny of posts that appear promotional or inauthentic.
Moderator contact
Sidebar directs inquiries to modmail instead of individual messages, so business outreach should use modmail if necessary and is still subject to rules.
