The short answer
Answer leads helpfully without promoting or mentioning your product/company; if you must link, include substantial non-promotional context and be prepared to be moderated or banned.
What works here
- Participate in discussions and offer free, non-commercial advice
- Share links only with clear explanatory context (no isolated links)
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional content, product launches, or solicitations
- Sending ads or recruitment pitches via direct messages
- Sly or subtle self-promotion that could be seen as advertising
Where this comes from

No Advertising via DMs
