Can you promote in r/avesnyc?
A place to discuss raves and related electronic music focused events in NYC
The short answer
Do not post promotional content or overt vendor/self-promotional replies; engage only as a regular community member and use the dedicated ticket subreddit or contact mods if unsure.
What works here
- non-promotional discussion about raves/events
- asking/answering event recommendations with effort and specificity
- posting to r/avesNYC_tix for ticket buying/selling
What gets posts removed
- public posts that advertise products, services, or events
- posting affiliate/referral links or social media for promotion
- zero-effort or clearly promotional comments or threads
