Can you promote in r/analogcommunity?
A place for the film photography/videography community to discuss whatever you want related to film. The sister sub of r/analog, where all of the non-photo-sharing discussions happen!
The short answer
Participate as a regular community member: provide helpful, non-promotional answers, include full context and a disclosure if you're affiliated, avoid direct ads or links to paid services, and only mention your product sparingly and for transparency when directly relevant.

- Share photos or request critique on Feedback Friday
What gets posts removed
- Direct sales, recruitment, ads, crowdfunding, or affiliate links
