Can you promote here?
The rules prohibit promoting your own product here. You can still be genuinely useful in comments (which builds the account standing every other community checks), but any promotional post or link is likely to be removed and can earn a community ban.
From the rules · Surveys/academic research and press/IRB requests must be approved via modmail; you may post a single update once after 48 hours; posts involving minors or abuse, or containing adverts/links, are removed.
Links
Links are prohibited in posts or comments. Name things in plain text; interested readers will search.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: story, question
Headline: start with “I (ageGender)” and include ages, genders, and relationship length. Write in first person: a detailed personal narrative, a short TL;DR, and a direct, answerable (not yes/no) advice question. Tone: candid, specific, often emotional. Posts that give concrete context and ask for practical next steps get upvoted; hypotheticals, ads, links, or medical/legal/minor/abuse cases are removed.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked July 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/relationship_advice's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
