Can you promote in r/askparents?

Asking parents questions, one at a time.

The short answer

Do not post promotional content or links; if replying, give neutral, non‑promotional help without mentioning your product or company and follow civility and topic rules.

What works here

  • Answering questions as a parent (non‑commercial)
  • Being civil and on‑topic
  • Posting one update about a prior post (per subreddit rule)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting promotional content, apps, services, or recruiting customers
  • Including links or surveys/research requests
  • Using the subreddit to solicit leads or conduct market research
  • Mentioning your company/product as part of an answer
