Can you promote in r/selfhostedai?
SelfHostedAI seeks recommendations for building and hosting your own private AI: hardware that minimizes cost while maximizing performance and software for offline tagging, linking and querying one's private documents.
The short answer
Answer technical questions with useful, non-salesy guidance first and optionally mention your product or service briefly for transparency if it genuinely fits the ask.
What works here
- giving recommendations for hardware and software
- sharing build/hosting guidance and troubleshooting
- briefly mentioning a relevant product or demo if it directly helps
What gets posts removed
- overt sales pitches or spammy promotional language
- posting only promotional links without substantive help
- aggressive recruiting or solicitation
