Can you promote in r/askanything?

Have a question but not sure where to ask? You’ve come to the right place!

The short answer

Do not mention or promote your product or ask for leads; instead provide neutral, helpful answers to questions without linking or soliciting.

What works here

  • Answer questions helpfully and respectfully
  • Participate as a regular user without promoting a product/service

What gets posts removed

  • Posting product links, demos, or launch announcements
  • Asking for customers, subscriptions, referrals, or survey participants
  • Directing users to DMs or external signup pages for commercial purposes

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No self‑promotion

Rule explicitly forbids driving traffic or promoting products, services, websites, or personal projects.

Requests for services/items not allowed

Posts requesting money, items, subscriptions, services, etc. are banned — commercial solicitations fit this.

Surveys prohibited

The rules specifically state surveys of any type are not allowed, blocking outreach for feedback or research.

Moderator discretion / spam rule

Mods reserve removal rights and ban spam or promotional content, increasing enforcement risk for vendor posts.
