Can you promote in r/cursor?
The best way to code with AI - cursor.com
The short answer
Respond helpfully first, clearly disclose your affiliation, keep promotional language minimal, provide value, use the correct flair, and avoid links/offers for paid products or direct selling.
What works here
- Answering user questions about Cursor or AI-assisted coding with relevant context
- Sharing your own content/projects if highly relevant and valuable
- Posting when within 10% self-promotional activity and using proper flair
What gets posts removed
- Direct advertising, solicitation, or sales posts (especially for paid products you own)
- Posting without context, in megathreads where disallowed, or excessive similar posts
- Promotional links or competitor-bashing and claims without verifiable evidence
Where this comes from
Limit self-promotion
Allows sharing your own content if relevant and valuable but requires context in text posts and caps self-promotion at 10% of Reddit activity.
No paid content
Explicitly forbids posting paid content you own or advertising sale/exchange of products, so avoid direct sales posts.
No spam & Use flairs
Spam, surveys, duplicate/excessive posting are disallowed and all posts must have appropriate flair (feedback posts need details).
Keep it relevant & Provide context
Posts must be relevant to Cursor/AI-assisted coding and include clear, specific context for feedback or bug reports.
