Can you promote in r/app_hive?
The mandatory 14-day Google Play closed test requirement solved. We are a community of developers testing each other's apps. Submit, test, approve, and launch!
The short answer
Engage politely on-topic, manage testing/requests through the official App Hive Android app, disclose your affiliation briefly if relevant, and avoid posting promo links or asking for manual tests in the subreddit.
What works here
- Discuss App Hive testing process and 14‑day closed tests
- Ask for/offer constructive app feedback within App Hive workflow
- Participate respectfully in developer discussions about the platform
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct testing links or asking for manual tests outside the app
- General self‑promotion, ads, or off‑topic product launches
- Reporting bugs/support requests instead of using the app/email
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditTesting via official app required
Subreddit requires all testing commitments and participation be handled exclusively through the official App Hive Android application, so public posts asking for manual testers or links are not allowed.
No self‑promotion/off‑topic content
Posts must directly relate to App Hive/testing; unrelated self‑promotion or spam is not permitted, limiting promotional/vendor posts.
No technical support posts here
Bugs/issues should be reported via in‑app feedback or email, so founders should not use the subreddit for support requests.
Community focus and conduct
Community is for developers testing each other's apps and requires constructive, respectful feedback — good for genuine participation but not for solicitation.
