Can you promote in r/maritime?
Maritime news, issues, and discussion affecting those at sea.
The short answer
Answer helpfully first, keep any mention of your product or company minimal and clearly disclosed, ensure the post is strictly on-topic and not promotional.
What works here
- On-topic, non-abusive posts
- Content creators posting their own material when relevant
What gets posts removed
- Direct advertising or solicitation
- Promotional posts with links or calls-to-action
- Using posts to recruit customers or generate leads
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo advertising rule
The subreddit explicitly states 'No advertising' and 'Advertising of any type is not tolerated', which forbids promotional posts.
Content creator allowance
Content producers may post their own material provided it follows rules on being non-abusive and on-topic, implying limited vendor participation is allowed when it's relevant and not promotional.
On-topic requirement
Posts must be relevant to the maritime industry, so vendor replies must directly address the topic rather than market a product.
