Can you promote in r/askmen?

We're a community for men to discuss men's lived experiences. Or, whatever.

The short answer

Do not post or comment as a founder promoting a product; participate only as a regular user giving non-promotional, on-topic answers without linking to or soliciting for your company.

What works here

  • answer on-topic questions without mentioning your product
  • engage respectfully and follow community content rules
  • observe 'Answers from men only' flair restrictions

What gets posts removed

  • posting product/launch/promotional content or surveys
  • including links to company sites or calls-to-action
  • using the subreddit to generate leads or recruit customers

Where this comes from
