Can you promote in r/fpga?
A subreddit for programmable hardware, including topics such as: * FPGA * CPLD * Verilog * VHDL
The short answer
Provide useful, technical answers first; mention your product/company only briefly and transparently if directly relevant and avoid anything that looks like spam or HFT/crypto solicitation.
What works here
- Technical help, project demos, and tooling resources
- Linking to relevant tools or documentation when it adds value
- Participating in discussions and the Discord
What gets posts removed
- Spammy or promotional posts that primarily solicit customers
- Posts about high-frequency trading or crypto mining (repeated posts penalized)
- Posting memes outside Friday meme thread
