Can you promote in r/devops?
The short answer
Participate normally, add real value, fully disclose any affiliation, and use the weekly self-promotion thread or get moderator approval for surveys/market research.
What works here
- Posting in the weekly self-promotion thread
- Mentioning your product if it's relevant and disclosed
- Sharing substantive, self-contained discussion or technical content
- Requesting survey/moderator approval before posting research
What gets posts removed
- Making posts whose sole purpose is to promote a product
- Posting promotional links or funneling traffic to external sites
- Posting surveys/polls without prior mod approval
- Using editorialized titles or low-effort/AI-generated content
