Can you promote in r/windowsapps?
Your one stop shop for all things regarding applications on Windows. Focus on the fancy new store.
The short answer
Disclose your affiliation, use the 'Developer' tag for promotional posts, limit self-promotion to the allowed frequency, and prefer helpful/indirect contributions when possible.
What works here
- One promotional post per week if tagged 'Developer'
- Indirect mentions of your app in relevant, non-promotional posts
- Links to official/safe sources (prefer Microsoft Store)
What gets posts removed
- Posting more than one promotional post per week
- Untagged or undisclosed promotional posts
- Linking to pirated/illegal sources or non-official/unsafe links
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditPromotional frequency & tag
Promotion is limited to one post per week and must be tagged 'Developer', so founders must disclose and limit promotional posts.
Indirect promotion allowed
Indirect promotions (e.g., referencing your app while discussing a topic) are explicitly permitted, giving space for helpful participation without formal promo posts.
Safe link requirement
Links should point to the Windows Store or other official/safe sources, so founders should avoid non-official or illegal links.
General civility
No harassment or trolling; maintain respectful engagement when replying to leads.
