Can you promote in r/dmb?
Dave Matthews Band news, discussion and more.
The short answer
Only participate as a genuine community member focusing on DMB-related topics; avoid promoting or selling products—if you must mention your company, be brief, transparent, and ensure the post is primarily non-promotional and directly relevant to Dave Matthews Band.
What works here
- Discuss tour dates, songs, albums, videos, and other DMB-related topics
- Post ticket buying/selling only in the sticky thread
- Engage in general conversation and help fans without commercial asks
What gets posts removed
- Posting or soliciting sales of your product or service
- Using posts to generate leads, advertise, or recruit customers
- Posting tickets or sales outside the designated sticky thread
- Memes without prior mod approval
