Posting rules, in plain words

Self-promotion is judged case by case. Post flair is required.

  • Blog/Article/Video Link: Link submissions to blogs, articles or videos are not allowed
  • Advertising: This place is not for offering services or looking for a job, these posts belong in /r/forhire, or /r/jobs.
  • Low Quality Content: Posts may be removed if they are linked to a source that is low quality. If the content from the link is short and doesn't require graphics to help deliver the message, then post all the content from the source in your submission with a link to the source at the bottom.
  • Flair: Use appropriate flair to mark your posts. If you can't find a flair that's matches your post, choose "Other" and contact the mods with a flair submission.

Quoted from the community’s own published rules. Always re-read them before posting.

  • — Provides a nuanced perspective, especially on controversial topics like AI.

Is r/digital_marketing growing?

How active is r/digital_marketing?

We don't have a reliable posting-rate sample for r/digital_marketing yet. Subscriber count alone is a poor guide to whether a community is active, so treat this one as unverified until the next sample lands.

Can I promote my product in r/digital_marketing?

r/digital_marketing publishes 7 rules and 1 of them addresses promotion. The first, “Advertising”, says: This place is not for offering services or looking for a job, these posts belong in /r/forhire, or /r/jobs.
