Can you promote in r/alberta?
East of the Rockies and West of the rest!
The short answer
Do not post promotional content or solicit leads; instead participate as a regular community member and message the moderators for prior approval if you must run a survey or represent a product.
What works here
- Substantive Alberta-relevant discussion and news (use original headlines for articles)
- Comments that add value and follow civility rules
- Pre-approved academic surveys/polls related to Alberta
What gets posts removed
- Posting advertisements, product launches, or low-effort promotion
- Running surveys/polls without mod pre-approval
- Posting social media screenshots or links (banned)
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditAdvertisements called out as 'low content'
Rule 8 explicitly lists advertisements and low-effort promotional content as removable low-content posts.
Surveys/polls require pre-approval
Rule 12 requires messaging the moderators and only allows certain academic surveys related to Alberta.
Social media posts banned
Rule 4 forbids social media posts and screenshots which limits marketing channels and link types.
Content must be Alberta-relevant and substantive
Rules 9 and 10 require posts be substantive and specifically relevant to Alberta, making broad promotions inappropriate.
Participation requirements
Accounts must be 14+ days old and email-verified which reduces immediate outreach from new vendor accounts.
