Can you promote in r/engineeringmanagers?

Exchange ideas on how to build up great, healthy teams and keep their members happy and motivated.

The short answer

Answer questions helpfully as a peer without mentioning or linking your product; seek moderator approval before any surveys or promotional content.

What works here

  • provide expertise and actionable advice on engineering management
  • engage in on-topic discussions with context-rich posts
  • disclose affiliation only if relevant in comments (but avoid promotion)

What gets posts removed

  • posting about or linking to your product, service, tool, newsletter, or course
  • posting surveys or research without prior mod approval
  • using posts or comments for lead generation or recruitment

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No product promotion

Rules state posts promoting products, services, tools, newsletters, or courses will be removed, so commercial/vendor content is banned.

No unsolicited surveys

Surveys and research solicitation require moderator approval; commercial/informal surveys will be removed.

Focus on topic & effort

Posts must be on engineering management and include sufficient context, so avoid thin promotional posts masked as questions.

Sidebar guidance

Sidebar asks for specific, contextual posts about dealing with teams—promotional content would conflict with this.
