Can you promote in r/technicalwriting?
For people who take the unbelievably complicated things that scientists and engineers devise and make it understandable for non-technical people.
The short answer
Engage helpfully without promoting or linking to your product; if you must mention your company do so briefly and transparently, avoid links, and focus on useful answers or relevant discussion (use a [JOB] title for hiring posts).
What works here
- Answer technical-writing questions and participate in discussions
- Share non-promotional supporting documentation/links for context
- Post job openings with [JOB] flair/title
- Paste relevant content into the post (rather than linking) for discussion
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct self-promotional links to your product, service, or blog
- Advertising, soliciting customers, or using posts primarily for personal gain
- Posting promotional images/links likely to be removed as spam
