Can you promote in r/getstartups?
A community dedicated to sharing SaaS products, startups, indie projects, and online businesses. Whether you are launching something new, iterating on an existing product, or just looking for early feedback, this is the place to post. Founders, makers, and indie hackers are welcome to showcase what they are building, discuss growth strategies, and discover new tools from others.
The short answer
Post with clear disclosure of what your product is, why it matters, and what feedback or action you want; include links when they add value and context.
What works here
- Share product links with context and value
- Ask for feedback or early users
- Describe what the product does and why it exists
- Participate in discussions and give feedback to others
What gets posts removed
- Posting bare links without explanation
- Misleading titles or exaggerated claims
- Off-topic posts unrelated to startups/SaaS
- Harassment or toxic behavior
