Can you promote in r/confessions?

Get that heavy secret off your chest. See the unfiltered confessions of strangers.

The short answer

Do not post promotional content or solicit leads; if you participate at all, do so only as a private user sharing a confession (no links, no advice, no solicitation).

What works here

  • Posting a genuine confession (text-only, non-AI)
  • Non-promotional, non-advice comments (limited)

What gets posts removed

  • Promotional posts or links to your product/company
  • Soliciting customers, leads, surveys or commercial outreach
  • Asking for or giving advice/judgement
  • Using accounts with promotional links in profile
