Can you promote in r/appdev?
The short answer
Answer leads with useful, technical help first; a brief, optional mention of your product/company is acceptable but avoid overt solicitation and ask moderators if unsure.
What works here
- questions and discussion about app development topics
- tool, design, testing, hosting, and workflow discussions
- sharing knowledge, code snippets, and practical advice
What gets posts removed
- blatant advertising or solicitation without providing value
- posting repeated promotional links or spammy launches
- assuming permission to recruit customers or run surveys without checking mods
