Can you promote in r/webdev?
A community dedicated to all things web development: both front-end and back-end. For more design-related questions, try /r/web_design.
The short answer
Do not pitch or mention your product/company publicly; instead contribute helpful technical answers and only share non-commercial projects on Showoff Saturday following the subreddit rules.
What works here
- Answer technical questions with full context and required details
- Participate in regular discussion and help posts
- Share projects/portfolios for feedback on Showoff Saturday (non-commercial focus)
What gets posts removed
- Any commercial promotion, solicitation, or direct customer-lead generation
- Posting product links, sales pitches, or recruiting customers
- Sharing projects outside Showoff Saturday or without required flair/context
Where this comes from
No commercial promotion
Rule explicitly disallows any commercial promotion or solicitation and warns bans for violations.
Self-promotion restricted
Subreddit and reddiquette require no excessive self-promotion and reference the Reddit 9:1 rule.
Project sharing limited to specific day
Sharing projects/portfolios/feedback requests is limited to Showoff Saturday and commercial promotion still falls under the ban.
Require quality/helpfulness
Assistance posts must include context, research, and problem specifics — encourages genuine help rather than marketing.
