Can you promote in r/discordbots?
A subreddit to discuss & get involved with Discord bots, including recommendations, development and conversations.
The short answer
Only reply when you're genuinely helping or when a user asks for recommendations/custom work; be transparent, avoid direct invite links, and prefer linking to a reputable listing (e.g., top.gg) or directing users to a support server.
What works here
- Answer technical/help questions about bots
- Give recommendations when explicitly requested
- Link to your bot on a reputable listing (top.gg) when asked
- Discuss development and troubleshooting
What gets posts removed
- Posting pure promotional/launch posts
- Directly linking bot invites or soliciting customers
- Offering paid custom work unless the user specifically asks
- Using misleading titles or low-effort posts
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo advertising or self-promotion
The rules explicitly ban using the subreddit to purely promote your bots; an exception allows linking to your bot from a reputable source like top.gg when users ask for recommendations, and forbids direct invite links.
Posting standards
Posts must have accurate, non-misleading titles and show effort, so thin promotional posts are likely removed.
Poaching/custom work restriction
You cannot offer to make custom bots for pay unless the user specifically asks, limiting outreach for paid services.
Scope relevance
All content must be related to Discord or Discord bots, so vendor replies must be on-topic and useful.
