Can you promote in r/stablediffusion?
/r/StableDiffusion is an unofficial community embracing the open-source material of all related. Post art, ask questions, create discussions, contribute new tech, or browse the subreddit. It’s up to you.
The short answer
If you’re a founder reply helpfully first, disclose your affiliation briefly, ensure your tool is open-source/free/local (or wait for the monthly paid-services event), avoid links to paywalled content or affiliate links, and use correct flair or ask mods if unsure.
What works here
- Share and discuss open-source or local tools anytime (once per tool/guide/update)
- Describe workflows, answer questions, give free tutorials or demos
- Disclose affiliation when relevant
What gets posts removed
- Posting promotional content for paid or paywalled services outside the monthly event
- Multiple similar posts, affiliate links, hidden/shortened URLs, or spammy self-promotion
- Low-effort posts without context or missing required flair
