Can you promote in r/uxresearch?
A community for sharing and discussing UX research. The goal is to think about UX research broadly and consider studies from related/overlapping disciplines (e.g., market research, medical anthropology, public health, design research). Open to both academic and applied research. **New to research? Here is a getting started guide: https://medium.com/getting-started-in-user-experience-and-design**
The short answer
Do not post promotional or recruitment content; instead offer neutral, non-promotional help in discussions without mentioning your product or soliciting users.
What works here
- general UX research discussion and advice
- career questions in the weekly career thread with proper flair
- sharing methods, design, analysis, and academic/appplied research discussions
What gets posts removed
- recruiting participants or posting surveys
- promoting products, services, or commercial tools
- asking for feedback on your product or conducting product research
- posting promotional links or soliciting customers
