Can you promote in r/csmajors?

All about studying and students of computer science.

The short answer

Engage organically with helpful answers first, disclose your affiliation briefly if relevant, and seek moderator approval before posting surveys, hiring, AMAs, referrals or standalone product pitches; use the project-showcase megathread for personal projects.

What works here

  • Answer technical or educational questions without overt promotion
  • Share useful links when clearly contributing to the discussion (not soliciting)
  • Post personal projects in the designated project showcase megathread
  • Request moderator approval for AMAs, surveys, hiring or referrals

What gets posts removed

  • Posting unsolicited product ads, recruitment/hiring posts, surveys or referrals without mod approval
  • Creating accounts solely to promote a product
  • Framing helpful content as an ad or 'addicle' solicitation
  • Discussing live assessment questions or posting AI LLM-generated content

AMAs/surveys/hiring need approval

Personal projects restricted

Personal projects must be posted to the project showcase megathread unless moderators approve a separate thread.

Useful links allowed but not solicitation
