The short answer
Participate helpfully first, disclose you represent the company when relevant, keep promotional posts infrequent (≤1/day), prefer contextual comments or designated recommendation threads/forms, and avoid blatant ads or repeated solicitation.
What works here
- Relevant product/tool mentions in comments
- One self-promotional post per day (multiple links allowed)
- Posting in recommendations using the provided form
- Stating that you represent the business when promoting goods/services
What gets posts removed
- Frequent or repetitive advertising/solicitation
- Non-relevant promotional comments or spammy links
- Hiding affiliation with your company
- Treating the subreddit as a primary lead-gen channel without community value
