Can you promote in r/sffpc?
All about small form factor PCs – decreasing size and maximizing space efficiency!
The short answer
Contact the moderators to get your vendor account verified first, use the weekly recommendation thread for product/part queries, disclose affiliation briefly, and avoid direct promotional posts or links unless approved.
What works here
- Answering technical questions and participating in regular discussion
- Posting recommendations in the weekly recommendation thread
- Sales via approved dedicated subreddits (e.g., HardwareSwap) or after mod verification
What gets posts removed
- Posting ads, pre-order notices, or promotional posts without mod approval
- Posting giveaways, media, or creator content without verifying account via modmail
- Posting vendor links or soliciting customers directly in the main feed

No advertisements or pre-order notices
