Can you promote in r/devops?
The short answer
Participate normally, disclose any affiliation up-front, and only promote your product/project in the designated weekly self-promotion thread or after getting moderator approval.
What works here
- Posting about projects in the weekly self-promotion thread
- Mentioning affiliation openly in comments/posts
- Sharing helpful, self-contained technical discussion with brief disclosure
What gets posts removed
- Posting product launches or solicitations as normal submissions
- Posting links that primarily funnel traffic to your site/blog
- Running surveys/polls without moderator approval
- Low-effort posts or hidden/stealth marketing
