Can you promote in r/streetwearstartup?
This subreddit is a space for both new and established streetwear brand owners to share ideas, exchange knowledge, showcase their brands, and connect with the community.
The short answer
Participate genuinely first, follow karma/posting limits and formatting, disclose your affiliation if relevant, avoid direct sales language or PMing users about services, and ask mods before giveaways or obvious promotions.
What works here

What gets posts removed
- Blatant advertisements, price mentions, or including URLs/handles in titles
- Soliciting customers or offering B2B services publicly or via PM
