Can you promote in r/makenewfriendshere?

This subreddit is for those who are looking to make some new friends on Reddit. 18+ only. No NSFW allowed.

The short answer

Do not promote your product or company publicly; engage only as a normal community member without links or solicitations, or use mod-approved channels (if any) after asking moderators.

What works here

  • Make genuine friend-seeking posts (meet rules on age, post length, frequency)
  • Join the official subreddit Discord link in the sidebar as a user
  • Participate in public conversation without promoting a product/service

What gets posts removed

  • Posting about your product, service, startup, or company
  • Sharing links to websites, Discords, YouTube, Twitch, or communities you have a vested interest in
  • Soliciting customers, money, surveys, or recruiting users

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No advertising or self promo

Rule explicitly bans Twitch, Discord, websites, communities, solicitation, buying/selling, or anything you have a vested interest in.

No asking for money or assistance

Rule forbids requests for money or other assistance, which covers paid solicitations or fundraising.

Friends-only/community purpose

Subreddit is strictly for making friends (no dating, matchmaking, surveys), so commercial lead-gen is off-topic.

Posting requirements & moderation

Account age, karma, post length, and posting frequency requirements indicate strict moderation—promotional posts are likely removed.

Personal info & PM guidance

Rules disallow posting contact info publicly and recommend starting in public thread; sharing external contact for promotion would violate this.
