Can you promote in r/kubernetes?

Kubernetes discussions, news, support, and link sharing.

The short answer

Be transparent about affiliation, focus on helpful technical value (how/why it matters), avoid promotional language or direct sales links, and post new tools only in the weekly thread.

What works here

  • Answer questions and help with technical support
  • Share articles or links with a substantive description
  • Discuss projects/tools in the weekly 'new tools' thread
  • Mention affiliation clearly when relevant

What gets posts removed

  • Posting direct advertisements or sales links
  • Announcing new tools/projects outside the weekly thread
  • Low-effort or purely promotional posts (blogspam)
  • Posting job listings outside monthly hiring thread

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

Disclosure required for commercial posts

Posts/comments affiliated with commercial products must clearly state affiliation and provide independent value rather than a product-as-answer setup.

New tools limited to weekly thread

New tool, UI, plugin, or framework posts must be posted as a comment in the weekly 'Show off your new tools and projects' thread.

No selling/ads/spam

Spam, obvious commercial links, advertisements, and sales posts (including merchandise) are prohibited and will be removed.

Link posts need context

Link posts are allowed but must include a good description explaining topic and audience and avoid click-farming/blogspam.

Jobs restricted

Job postings/resumes must go to the monthly 'who's hiring' thread; standalone job posts will be removed.
