Can you promote in r/artificial?
Reddit’s home for Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The short answer
Participate genuinely first, avoid direct product pitches, ask mods if unsure, and use an AMA or explicitly approved thread for promotional/launch content with clear disclosure.
What works here
- Answer questions and discuss AI topics
- Post research, tutorials, news, and educational content
- Run an AMA by contacting moderators first
- Mention your project sparingly and transparently after prior participation or mod approval
What gets posts removed
- Posting sales pitches, job offers, or direct product links
- Making your first post/comment a promotional one
- Posting tool requests or obvious spammy content
- Posting promotional content without mod approval
