Can you promote in r/wellington?
Welcome to Wellington, New Zealand! Whether you're living here, moving here or are just curious, feel free to browse around and ask questions.
The short answer
Be an active, helpful community member first; only mention your product/company sparingly for transparency and only when directly relevant or in designated threads, and avoid obvious solicitation or repeated posts.
What works here
- answering questions and providing local help
- participating in meetups and meetup threads
- contributing to community lists (e.g., 'Businesses we love') where local businesses are compiled
- sharing factual, non-promotional info when directly requested
What gets posts removed
- posting direct ads, solicitations, or crowdfunding asks
- repeatedly posting the same content (spam)
- posting promotional links or launches as standalone posts
- naming/shaming or gathering personal info
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo spam/advertising
Rule 2 explicitly bans spam and advertising (includes crowdfunding and deliberate promotional content).
General civility and mod discretion
Rules 1 and 6 give moderators discretion to remove content they view as detracting from the subreddit, so promotional posts may be removed if seen as nuisance.
Community-curated business threads
Sidebar links include 'Businesses we love' and other curated local lists implying local business mentions are acceptable in those community threads.
Meetups permitted
Meetup hosting and replies to meetup threads are explicitly encouraged, so participating as organiser (with mod contact if first time) is fine.
