Can you promote in r/pcos?
A place to discuss Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and all that comes along with it. This sub is a safe space for LGBTQ2A+ folks.
The short answer
Engage as a supportive community member, disclose any affiliation briefly, avoid direct recruitment or sales, and only share resources without referral links or promotional language.
What works here
- Supportive, non-promotional participation and comments
- Sharing research/medical studies with clear affiliation and participant details
- Linking to resources that are not presented as endorsements (no referral links)
What gets posts removed
- Soliciting users to buy products or services in posts or private messages
- Using referral links or paid affiliate links
- Posting promotional endorsements framed as subreddit recommendations
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo soliciting
The rules explicitly ban soliciting users to buy things via post or private message; offenders will be banned.
No referral links
Referral links are prohibited when suggesting products.
No commercial endorsements
The subreddit does not endorse commercial websites and lists commercial sites separately in the sidebar.
Surveys allowed with conditions
Medical studies can be posted if they state institution, participant criteria, use of feedback, and voluntary nature; PMing users to participate is not allowed.
Be supportive / safe space
Community expects supportive, nonjudgmental participation, reinforcing that promotional tone would be inappropriate.
