Can you promote in r/comingout?

A comforting place to share your story about coming out or discuss ways that you could come out, whether you're still in the closet or out in the world, this subreddit will make you feel welcome.

The short answer

Engage as a supportive community member; if you must mention a product/service get prior mod approval, disclose affiliation, and keep the post focused on support not promotion.

What works here

Personal support, sharing experiences
Requests for moderator approval (via modmail) for studies or other solicitations
Non-commercial, respectful discussion

What gets posts removed

Direct solicitation, fundraising, or commercial promotion
Posting study/survey requests without mod approval
Using posts to recruit customers or advertise without disclosure and permission

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Fundraising prohibited

Rule explicitly forbids solicitation of donations or sharing fundraiser links unless approved by moderators, indicating commercial asks are not allowed by default.

Prior approval required for studies/requests

Modmail approval is required before posting studies or similar requests, implying other outreach that targets users also needs permission.

Supportive, personal-focus community

Sidebar/description emphasizes a comforting place to share coming-out stories, so promotional content would be off-topic and unwelcome.
