Can you promote in r/industrialmaintenance?
Let's share experiences and knowledge on industrial maintenance. Preventive, Curative and Predictive - bring it on!
The short answer
Provide substantive, on-topic help first; if mentioning your product/company, keep it brief, clearly relevant, and unobtrusive (no hard-sell or repeated outreach).
What works here
- answer technical questions with detailed, on-topic explanations
- share relevant resources or links when they add clear value
- participate regularly and build reputation before any mention
What gets posts removed
- posting overt advertisements, solicitation, or repeated outreach
- low-effort posts, vague product plugs, or off-topic promotion
- including promotional links or calls-to-action without clear context
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo Spam rule
The subreddit explicitly forbids spam, which covers unsolicited advertising and solicitation.
Effort requirement
Posts must show effort and relevance; low-effort or irrelevant content may be removed, discouraging shallow promotional posts.
On-topic requirement
Content must relate to maintenance, so any vendor mention should be directly relevant to a technical question or discussion.
Sidebar encouragement to 'spread the word'
The sidebar invites community building and 'feel free to spread the word', which softens an absolute ban on sharing but is informal and doesn't override anti-spam.
