The short answer
Post publicly with the correct flair, include clear substance (what, who, stage, feedback wanted), verify if required for the flair, disclose your affiliation, and avoid links with referral params or DM-only asks.
What works here
- Substantive startup/project promos (what it is, audience, stage, ask)
- Sharing demos/launches with context and disclosure
- Job posts that meet public application and compensation requirements
What gets posts removed
- Drive-by promotions without details
- Bot/spam, mass-posting, engagement farming
- DM-only funnels or 'DM me for details'
- Referral/affiliate links or links with tracking params
- Misleading or incorrect flair
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSelf-promo allowed with substance
The rules explicitly permit promoting your startup if you include what you're building, who it's for, stage/traction, and what feedback you want.
No spam / lead capture
Spam, mass-posting, low-effort promos, engagement farming, and funnel posts asking users to DM or join private groups are disallowed.
Flair and verification required
Every post must have the correct flair; some flairs (Startup Promo, Token/Coin, Airdrop, Jobs) require Verified Human via a pinned post.
No referral links
Referral/affiliate links and tracking params are removed; clean links are acceptable.
Public info and respectful behavior
Posts must follow Reddit sitewide rules and keep interactions respectful; job posts must include role, compensation, location, and public application method.
