The short answer
Contribute useful, non-promotional content and only mention or request feedback about your app in the Friday app feedback thread or when explicitly invited, disclosing your affiliation.
What works here
- sharing actionable advice, resources, or case studies
- asking/answering questions about app business topics
- requesting feedback in the weekly Friday app feedback thread
- posting informational content about tools or strategies (if not pure advertising)
What gets posts removed
- directly promoting your app or business in a standalone post
- posting overt advertising, solicitations, or customer acquisition asks
- link-dropping to your product outside the designated feedback thread
- posting agency/service offers as promotion
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo promotion of your own apps
The rules explicitly ban promotion of your own apps and point to a weekly app feedback thread for that purpose.
No promotion of your Business
The rules prohibit advertising your business/agency services, though posts that provide value/information are allowed.
Relevance requirement
Posts must be relevant to app business topics, which supports allowing non-promotional, topic-focused contributions.
