Can you promote in r/dhexchange?
Exchange and Sharing sub for /r/DataHoarder
The short answer
Only reply when you are directly sharing or helping with allowed archival/preservation/public-domain content, include the content date, host via Archive.org/BitTorrent (or provide magnet/Archive links), and clearly disclose your affiliation without making a sales pitch.
What works here
- Sharing open-source, public-domain, abandonware, preservation, or lost content
- Posting links to Archive.org or magnet URIs for torrent-hosted content
- Helping with preservation projects or compilations when transparent about affiliation
What gets posts removed
- Posting commercial promotions, solicitations, or customer recruitment
- Sharing content that is currently commercially available (piracy)
- Linking to sites with pop-ups/malware or non-secure hosting
- Posting without the content date or outside allowed categories
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditAllowed content categories
Subreddit requires all shared/requested data to be open source, public domain, abandonware, preservation, compilations, or lost content — commercial product promotions unrelated to these are outside scope.
Include date
Every post sharing/requesting content must contain the content's year, so vendor posts must include dates when relevant.
Not a piracy sub
The community forbids sharing content that can currently be bought via official channels, so solicitations that encourage piracy or replace legitimate channels are banned.
Preferred hosting
Content should be shared via secure channels like Archive.org or BitTorrent (magnet URIs), discouraging external/malicious links.
