Can you promote in r/referral?
The short answer
Post in the required format with the referral name, full terms, and clear disclosure of your affiliation; do not post links in other users' threads and respect the post-frequency limit.
What works here
- Posting referral links in their own post following the format
- Disclosing full terms of the sign-up offer and the app/site name
- Posting up to two times per 24 hours
What gets posts removed
- Posting referral links inside someone else's thread (thread hijacking)
- Vague or misleading terms, scams, or adult/crypto/data-mining referrals
- Using vote manipulation or alt accounts to bypass limits
