Can you promote in r/r4r?
Whether you're looking for platonic or non-platonic friends, gaming buddies, online friends, soulmates, travelmates, smoking buddies, activity partners, friends with benefits, or casual encounters, this is the place to find and seek. Still protesting.
The short answer
Do not post promotional or commercial content; if you must engage, act as a private individual (non-commercial) and avoid links or requests for contact — better to contact the mods for clarification.
What works here
- Personal posts seeking friendships/partners (non-commercial)
- SFW or NSFW personal ads following title/location/age rules
What gets posts removed
- Posting commercial offers, solicitations, or lead-generation
- Sharing external links, surveys, forms, or usernames
- Offering goods/services in exchange or recruiting customers
