Can you promote in r/graphic_design?
A collaborative learning community for graphic designers at any stage, focused on education, mentorship, and mutual support.
The short answer
Participate as a helpful community member, give useful public answers, and only mention your product/company sparingly for transparency (no sales pitch or links) and only if it clearly meets the free/relevant requirement and subreddit posting rules.
What works here
- Answer design questions and give feedback
- Share personal work with required flair and context
- Mention a free, high-quality, design-relevant tool/resource (no salesy pitch)
- Use pinned job board or dedicated subs for hiring/jobs
What gets posts removed
- Posting ads, solicitations, or recruiting customers
- Sharing paid products/services or links to buy them
- Posting job offers or requests for unpaid work
- Running surveys/polls or social media promotion
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo job posts or self-promotion
Rules explicitly ban hiring, promoting services, and self-promotion; directs hiring to pinned job board or other subreddits.
No promotional/commercial activities
Submission policy repeats that promotional/commercial activities are not allowed.
Limited exception for free tools
Sharing your own app/platform/plugins allowed only if free, high-quality and relevant to design — a narrow allowance.
Work posting requirements
Posts of personal work must use 'Sharing Work' flair and include context, so promotional posts disguised as work would be removed.
