Can you promote in r/instagrammarketing?
All things White Hat and Black Hat Instagram.
The short answer
Answer posts with helpful, non-promotional advice; if mentioning your product/company do so briefly as disclosure and avoid links, calls-to-action, or explicit solicitations—use the pinned thread for any shoutouts/engagement offers.
