Can you promote in r/leuven?
We have gone private in protest of Reddit's recent behavior and planned changes to the API, heavily impacting third party tools, accessibility and moderation ability. For further info, check: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/8/23754780/reddit-api-updates-changes-news-announcements
The short answer
Engage as a helpful, local member first (answer questions, offer advice); if you mention your product or service, keep it brief, clearly relevant, and prioritize value to the OP rather than promotion.
What works here
- participate in community discussions
- share local tips or resources relevant to Leuven
- reply helpfully to direct requests from users
What gets posts removed
- posting unsolicited promotional posts or recruitment messages
- heavy self-promotion, links to commercial sites, or lead-gen styled replies
- assuming vendor acceptance without checking with moderators
