The short answer
Engage organically: provide helpful, on-topic answers first, disclose affiliation briefly if relevant, avoid links/solicitations and don’t repeat promotional posts.
What works here
- On-topic, substantive discussion and resources related to atheism/ secular living
- Sharing helpful tools or links when clearly relevant and not solicitous
- Self-posts with substantial content (images must be in self/text posts)
What gets posts removed
- Direct advertising, solicitations, or repeating promotional posts (spam)
- Low-effort or link-only posts and posts that read like a pitch
- Proselytizing or tying posts to commercial goals without disclosure
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSpam policy
Spam is disallowed and defined as frequent/commercial posting (eg. more than 1 in 10 posts), so vendor-style repeated promotion is likely to be removed or deemed spam.
No proselytizing
Proselytizing is explicitly banned; promotional messaging or solicitations that push an agenda or product could fall under this restriction or be removed.
On-topic requirement
Posts must be related to atheism/agnosticism/secular living — promotional content must therefore be directly relevant to those topics to be tolerated.
Low-effort restriction
Link-only or title-only posts are not allowed; promotional posts that lack substantive discussion will be removed.
Community welcome note
Sidebar welcomes topics related to atheism and resources, which permits helpful, relevant contributions when not promotional.
