Can you promote in r/fixit?
r/fixit has temporarily gone dark to protest the proposed changes to Reddit's API access policies. **Be Excellent To Each Other.**
The short answer
Do not promote products or solicit customers; only offer free, non-commercial help and avoid mentioning your company or product at all.
What works here
- Provide on-topic troubleshooting help and advice
- Share detailed, practical repair steps and photos
- Participate as a regular helpful community member (no promotion)
What gets posts removed
- Posting product pitches, demos, or launch announcements
- Sharing links that generate revenue or contain affiliate/marketing codes
- Soliciting leads, customers, surveys, or traffic for a business
