Can you promote in r/appbuilding?

Build, Ship, Scale. The central hub for developers and founders turning ideas into functional apps. Whether you are coding native (iOS/Android) or cross-platform (Flutter/React Native), join us to discuss tech stacks, solve complex bugs, and master the app development lifecycle.

The short answer

Participate first by answering technical questions and offering useful, non-promotional help; you may optionally mention your product/company briefly and transparently only when directly relevant.

What works here

  • technical discussion about stacks, bugs, and app lifecycle
  • asking for or giving development feedback
  • showing and discussing demos in context (if relevant and not purely promotional)

What gets posts removed

  • cold solicitations, blatant advertising, or lead-gen posts
  • posting only promotional links or repeated product pitches
  • joining solely to recruit customers without prior helpful contributions
