## FAQ

Which Design subreddits allow self-promotion?

None of the tracked Design subreddits openly allow self-promotion; the safest approach is a genuine, relevant reply rather than a promotional post.

Can I promote my product in Design subreddits on Reddit?

Rarely as a standalone post. Across these 3 communities, 2 ban self-promotion outright and 1 allow it only under the 9-to-1 rule. Lead with genuine value and mention your product only when it directly answers the question.
