Subreddits that allow self-promotion (directly or in pinned posts)

Self promotion guidelines:

When self promoting a app, your self promotion must be a self post tagged with [DEV]. You must engage the community. Hit and run posts are not allowed.

Additionally, a developer may only post once per month. Exceptions are made at mod team's discretion.

  • no commercial promotions/solicitations: We do not allow any commercial promotion or solicitation. Violations can result in a ban.
  • no soliciting feedback not on Saturday: Sharing your project, portfolio, or any other content that you want to either show off or request feedback on is limited to Showoff Saturday. If you post such content on any other day, it will be removed.

Showoff Saturdays:

Work on something and want to share it? Showoff Saturdays are for you! Make a new post on Saturday and tag it [Showoff Saturday] and watch the views rise.

Sharing your project, portfolio, or any other content that you want to either show off or request feedback on is limited to Showoff Saturday. If you post such content on any other day, it will be removed.

What is not mentioned: Your post will be removed if you haven't participated in the subreddit by commenting on other posts. Your account has to be at least a month old. I.e., I could post after I earned some community karma.

Subreddits that do not allow self-promotion, ask for feedback instead

r/Entrepreneur

About the subreddit:

A community of individuals who seek to solve problems, network professionally, collaborate on projects, and make the world a better place. Be professional, humble, and open to new ideas. Our community supports side hustles, small businesses, venture-backed startups, lemonade stands, 1-person-grinds, and most forms of revenue generation! However, no one cares about your blog. Please do not come here to self-promote your consulting, book, podcast, MLM, website, dropshipping guide, or $$$ scheme.

Important group rules:

  • you need 10 comment karma to make a post. So if you are a newcomer, you will (obviously) need to comment first. Use pinned posts (bellow) for that purpose.
  • no self promotion
  • no free offerings threads (use Thank you Thursday pinned post instead)

Pined posts:

Thematic subreddits

As an example, you have made a weather related app or service. Look for related subreddits: r/Weather, r/meteorology, etc.

  1. Message the mods first and ask for a permission to post about your product.
  2. Set up alarms for keywords you are interested in. Reply to posts that trigger them.
