Can you promote in r/maladaptivedreaming?
We are a community support sub dedicated to individuals suffering from Maladaptive Daydreaming and helping them cope with the condition.
The short answer
Engage as a helpful community member, disclose any affiliation, and only share products, studies, or tools when directly relevant, non-promotional, and likely welcomed (e.g., research posts or survey requests).
What works here
- Participating in or posting research/survey invitations (use Survey/Research flair)
- Sharing helpful resources, guides, or personal recovery strategies
- Joining discussions and offering support or expertise
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct advertisements, product launches, or solicitations
- Using sockpuppets or spamming multiple promotional posts
- Romanticizing MD or posting content off-topic to solicit customers
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on Redditsupport-focused community
Subreddit description and sidebar emphasize peer support and helping people cope, so outreach should be supportive and relevant.
on-topic requirement
Rule requires posts to be about MD and peer support, so promotional content that isn't directly helpful or relevant is risky.
no spamming
Rule explicitly bans spamming/sockpuppeting, which covers repeated or insincere promotional posts.
research & surveys are allowed
Sidebar highlights 'Participate in a Study' and includes 'Research' and 'Surveys' flairs, indicating the community accepts research-related posts.
sensitivity to portrayal
Rule disallows romanticizing/glorifying MD, so promotional framing that glamorizes the condition would be inappropriate.
