Can you self-promote in r/reactjs?
Sometimes, in the right context.
Promotion is tolerated when it genuinely answers a question or adds to a discussion, not as a standalone ad. Mention your product naturally, keep it occasional, and use any designated promo thread.
The rule
Posts must conform to our guidelines
“If you join this community to take value rather than contribute, the community will quickly react as though you are an intruder. If you have a body of content you'd like to promote, our recommended way of doing so is to be an active and positive member of the subreddit.”
