Can you promote in r/openai?
OpenAI is an AI research and deployment company. OpenAI's mission is to create safe and powerful AI that benefits all of humanity. We are an unofficially-run community. OpenAI makes Sora, ChatGPT, and DALL·E 3.
The short answer
Participate organically first, disclose your affiliation, provide substantial non-promotional context/value in a text post (no direct promo links), and keep promotional activity below ~10% of your contributions.
What works here
- Answering questions and participating in discussion
- Posting product/project context in a text post with clear value/use cases
- Occasional mentions of your project when highly relevant and disclosed
What gets posts removed
- Posting direct link posts that are promotional
- Frequent/self-promotional posts exceeding ~10% of your activity
- Attempting to sell products, accounts, or solicit customers
Where this comes from
Limit Self-Promotion
Self-promotional direct link posts to projects are not allowed; provide context in a text post and follow a 1/10th guideline.
No Selling
The subreddit forbids advertising sales or exchanges and selling products or unverifiable content.
Participation first
Mods expect participation before advertising; sub is prone to scams/spam so moderation is strict.
