Can you promote in r/gradschool?
Discussion forum for current, past, and future students of any discipline completing post-graduate studies - taught or research.
The short answer
Do not promote or solicit publicly; if you believe you need to post, contact the moderators first and otherwise engage as a regular community member without mentioning your product/company.
What works here
- Participate in genuine discussion without promotional intent
- Post survey requests only if specifically relevant to graduate students and likely after mod approval
- Contact moderators to request permission for any advertising
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional content, product launches, or solicitations
- Sharing links to commercial products or services without explicit mod permission
- Using posts/comments as lead generation or spammy self-promotion
