Can you promote in r/appideas?
Welcome! This subreddit is designed to be a professional environment where developers, entrepreneurs, and creators can come together to share their amazing app ideas. Please take a moment to look over our rules before posting.
The short answer
Share the idea and ask for feedback or collaborators; if you mention your product or company, disclose briefly and avoid links or recruitment language.

What gets posts removed
- Posting links to apps or stores
- Inviting signups/mailing lists
- Advertising or soliciting customers
- Sharing sideloaded binaries
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo Self-Promotion or Advertisements
Rules explicitly remove posts that link to apps, invite mailing list signups, or advertise existing/upcoming projects.
Allowed feedback/collaboration
Subreddit permits sharing ideas to refine through feedback or to find people interested in developing them, with self-promotion constraint.
Sidebar nuance
Self-promotion 'frowned upon (but excusable for targeted and clear requests for feedback)' — allows limited, transparent mentions.
Automod posting limits
New accounts (<1 month or <50 karma) are auto-removed, limiting outreach from very new accounts.
