Can you promote in r/askuk?
The #1 subreddit for Brits and non-Brits to ask questions about life and culture in the United Kingdom. We invite users to post interesting questions about the UK that create informative, good to read, insightful, helpful, or light-hearted discussions.
The short answer
Do not promote your product or solicit customers; if you can genuinely answer the OP's question, reply helpfully without mentioning or linking your company and avoid using the space for lead generation.
What works here
- Provide a direct, helpful answer to the question asked
- Be courteous and follow subreddit tone rules
- Point OP to public organisations/resources (e.g., Citizens Advice) where relevant
What gets posts removed
- Advertising, mentioning brands or products, or soliciting customers
- Posting surveys, recruitment, or lead-generation messages
- Using the subreddit as customer service or to bypass contacting the organisation first
