Can you promote in r/shipandgrow?
A community for SaaS founders and indie hackers who are actively building, shipping, and growing their products. Share what you're working on, ask for feedback, talk distribution, pricing, SEO, and everything in between. No fluff, just real people figuring it out in public.
The short answer
Answer the lead with helpful, specific advice first and transparently mention your product only as a relevant, secondary detail with added value.
What works here
- Sharing your product or project when providing value
- Asking for feedback and sharing metrics or context
- Discussing distribution, pricing, SEO, and growth experiments
What gets posts removed
- Dropping a link or sales pitch without substantive content
- Posting vague, low-effort or generic promotional posts
- Dishonest/fabricated success claims
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditSelf-promotion allowed with conditions
The rules explicitly permit sharing your product but require you to add value and not just drop a link.
No spam / low-effort
Reposts, listicles, and generic advice that could apply to anyone will be removed, so promotional posts must be specific and substantive.
Be specific and honest
Posts should provide context, numbers, and where you're stuck; wins and failures should be authentic.
