Can you promote in r/universityofmaine?
Subreddit for students, alumni, and fans of the University of Maine: mainly focused on the flagship institution at Orono, but includes any educational institution under the UMaine banner. Go Black Bears!
The short answer
Engage as a helpful community member first, answer the lead's question without a sales pitch, optionally mention your product/company briefly and transparently if clearly relevant and welcome.
What works here
- on-topic university-related discussion
- civil, constructive participation
- general college-style questions
What gets posts removed
- overt solicitation, sales-first posts, or spammy linking
- aggressive promotion without prior community rapport
- anything that could be perceived as disrespectful or off-topic
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditTopic relevance requirement
Rules state discussion is limited to University of Maine topics (general college discussion usually allowed), so posts should be relevant to the community.
Civility requirement
The subreddit enforces kindness, honesty, and 'Don't be a dick,' so promotional replies must be respectful and non-harassing.
No guidance on self-promotion
There is no explicit rule permitting or banning vendor participation or commercial posts, so policy on promotion is unspecified.
