r/Advice

Can you post your project here?

This subreddit is for asking for advice on various subjects, but explicitly bans any form of self-promotion, advertising, or external links. Posts must clearly ask for advice on non-professional topics and avoid ranting, venting, or seeking validation.

Before you post: Rule 9 explicitly states 'No self promotion of any kind' and 'No advertising of any kind'. Rule 9 also states 'Do not put any external links in your post'.

10. No suicide or self harm posts: This subreddit will not host any posts about suicide or self harm. Please post in r/SuicideWatch or utilize the hotlines below. Helping a suicidal person requires training and skill sets that the average person does not possess. Unqualified users may have good intentions, but might inadvertently worsen the situation and/or strain their own mental health significantly. Similarly, self harm is a complex and deeply-rooted behavior that the average person is not equipped to help with.
