Can you promote in r/friendship?

For all things friendship! If you're after friendship advice or feeling lonely and need someone to chat to this is the place for you ❤

The short answer

Do not market or mention your product/company; participate only as a genuine community member offering non-commercial, friendly help without links or solicitation.

What works here

  • organic, non-commercial conversation about friendship
  • providing general advice or emotional support relevant to posts
  • participating as a regular user who meets karma/age requirements

What gets posts removed

  • posting product or company promotions, launches, or demos
  • sharing invite links or Discord/server promotion
  • asking for money, donations, recruiting customers, or offering paid services
  • DMing users to circumvent the advertising ban

Where this comes from

No paid friend services
