Can you promote in r/cybersecurity_help?
This subreddit is r/techsupport but focused on solving individuals' cybersecurity concerns, removing malware, and more. Please be sure to follow the posting guide for accurate and helpful answers.
The short answer
Do not promote your product or company; publicly provide neutral, technical help and follow the posting guide — if you might be seen as a vendor, refrain from participating.
What works here
- Answer technical cybersecurity questions with unbiased help
- Follow the community posting guide and safety practices
- Upload malware samples or suspicious links only with safe handling advice
What gets posts removed
- Advertising, product pitches, or asking for customers
- Providing affiliate/referral links or astroturfing
- Moving help to DMs or offering private services
- Using unapproved bots or AI-generated/parroted content
