Can you promote in r/nostupidquestions?

Ask away! Disclaimer: This is an anonymous forum so answers may not be correct

The short answer

Answer relevant questions as a helpful, genuine community member without mentioning or linking your product/company; do not use posts to solicit customers or traffic.

What works here

  • Genuine, human-written answers to questions
  • Helpful non-promotional advice and resources (summarized rather than link-only)
  • Participation consistent with subreddit rules (be nice, avoid banned topics)

What gets posts removed

  • Promoting products, services, launches, podcasts, or websites
  • Asking questions designed to drive traffic or recruit customers
  • Posting affiliate links, site-credit swaps, or link-only answers to promote a product

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No self-promotion / shilling

Rules explicitly ban trying to draw traffic to product/video/podcast/website and forbid self-promotion, shilling, or begging.

No affiliate links

Sidebar notes 'No affiliate links, no site credit offer swaps.'

Genuine human answers required

Top-level comments must be genuine human-written attempts to answer; AI-generated answers banned and link-only answers disallowed unless asking for a subreddit.

Be helpful / civil

Community expects polite, helpful answers — good behavior but not permission to promote.
