Can you promote in r/appdevelopers?
All things app development: both front-end and back-end. This includes mobile, web apps and marketing.
The short answer
Do not post about your product or services; if you must engage, provide neutral, non-promotional help in comments without naming or linking your product and follow mods' directions.
What works here
- Answer technical questions with unbiased help
- Participate in discussions without promoting a product
- Possibly mention experience without links (be conservative)
What gets posts removed
- Posting about your app, service, launch, or trial
- Advertising, solicitations, surveys, or recruiting customers
- ’Try out my app’ or direct/indirect promotional posts
