Can you promote in r/srilanka?
The English-Language Subreddit for Sri Lanka
The short answer
Do not post promotional or sales content; if you must engage, participate as a regular community member without mentioning products or solicitations and use modmail to ask permission first.
What works here
- Non-commercial posts directly related to Sri Lanka
- Answering questions and participating in discussions in good faith
- Contacting moderators via modmail about moderation or to request permission
What gets posts removed
- Posting product launches, sales, ads, or solicitation
- Repeated self-promotional posts or linking to commercial sites
- Posting surveys, job listings, or soliciting donations
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo buying, selling, advertising or solicitation
Rule explicitly states the subreddit is not a marketplace and forbids posting to sell products, advertise services, solicit donations, post job listings, or seek partners.
No Spam or Repost / Self-promotion
Rules ban repeated posting and self-promotional content as spam and reference Reddit's self-promotion policy in the sidebar.
No surveys, homework, or job outsourcing
Posts asking the community to complete surveys or research questions will be removed, blocking lead-generation via surveys.
Moderator contact for uncertainty
Guidance to tag/message moderators if unsure whether a post qualifies, implying permission may be required but not guaranteed.
