Which subreddits allow self-promotion?

The six self-promotion policies

"No self-promotion" is several different rules wearing the same words. Some subreddits ban links but let you name a product, some allow it only in a weekly thread, some gate it behind karma or the 10% rule. Here is what each verdict below means and what to do about it.

• Banned425 subreddits

  No promoting your own product, business, content or links, anywhere in the subreddit. No exception thread.

  What to do: Answer the question without naming your product. If the poster asked for tools, send one helpful DM instead.

• Promo thread only47 subreddits

  Banned in normal posts and comments, allowed in a pinned weekly or monthly thread, a megathread, or a set day.

  What to do: Find the pinned thread at the top of the subreddit and post there. The same post anywhere else gets removed.

• No links70 subreddits

  You can talk about your work, but links to your own site, blog, channel or app are banned or need mod approval.

  What to do: Explain the idea in the comment itself and leave the link out. People who want it will ask or search.

• Within limits143 subreddits

  Allowed only within a limit: a karma or account-age minimum, the 10% rule, a ratio cap, or a once-only post with a flair.

  What to do: Check the exact limit in the rule before posting, and keep most of your activity there unrelated to what you sell.

• Allowed if relevant34 subreddits

  Allowed when it actually answers the post, usually with your affiliation disclosed. Some subs exist for sharing your work.

  What to do: Answer the question first, mention your product only where it fits, and say that it is yours.

• Not mentioned398 subreddits

  The rules say nothing about self-promotion beyond a generic no-spam line. Reddit's sitewide spam rules still apply.

  What to do: Treat it as allowed only when relevant and disclosed. Moderators remove anything that reads like an ad.
