Can you promote in r/artistlounge?
A place for artists from all art-related subs and beyond to come together and discuss art, our lives as artists, discuss art culture, and share advice and techniques in a positive, nurturing manner. No ranting, venting or complaining. We are Anti-AI. Please check out r/ArtBusiness to discuss topics related to business, careers, social media, clients etc.
The short answer
Do not promote or mention your product/company; engage only as a regular community member in discussion, offering generic helpful advice without links or calls-to-action.
What works here
- participate in art-focused discussions
- answer questions and share techniques or experiences (in English)
- post in megathreads when they apply (per rules)
What gets posts removed
- promoting products, services, launches, demos or projects
- posting links to websites, surveys, Discord or recruitment messages
- business-related posts or soliciting customers
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo selling or advertising
Sidebar rules explicitly state 'No selling or advertising' and disallow promotion.
No business posts / redirected elsewhere
Business-related topics are banned and redirected to r/ArtBusiness, so commercial discussion is off-topic.
No hiring/soliciting or links
Rules forbid hiring, soliciting, surveys and Discord links—vendor outreach is prohibited.
Discussion-focused community
The sub is explicitly discussion-focused and not a self-promo subreddit, limiting promotional activity.
