Best Subreddits to Promote a Design Tool

Yes, you can promote your project in r/SideProject, because the community description and sidebar explicitly say it is for sharing side projects and receiving constructive feedback. The stated requirement is the submission format: "When submitting a link to a project or startup, please use this format: [Project name] - [Short description]."

Yes, you can promote your product in r/alphaandbetausers, but only if it fits the subreddit’s testing purpose and follows the posting rules. Posts must include a link to a product that is ready to be tested, use stage and system tags, include a description, and must not be just an email signup, launch waitlist, or future testing application page; spam, non-alpha/beta links, and NSFW products can be removed.

You generally cannot promote your product in r/graphic_design. Rule 1 says "No job posts or self-promotion" and "Do NOT hire designers or promote your services here," but it also gives a narrow exception: "If you're sharing your own app, platform, resources, or plugins, they must be free, high-quality and relevant to design."

You generally cannot promote your product in r/ProductManagement. The rules say "No self-promotion or spam" and the submit page says "No self-promotion - do not link to your personal or business site." The only stated exception is "the Friday Show and Tell thread."

You generally cannot promote your product in r/userexperience unless you have already contributed meaningfully. The rules say "No self-promotion without prior contributions" and "Please contribute to the community before showing off your own work or materials. Aim for a 10:1 ratio," and they also ban "blog spam, paid events, or marketing materials" plus "promotion of agencies, vendors, services, or software."

No, you cannot promote your product in r/Design. Rule 1, "No promotional/commercial activities," says, "This community is not for self-promotion" and adds, "You also cannot promote your own products, services, brand, or shop - including your design services."

No, you cannot promote your product in r/web_design. The submit-page text says, "no promotion, blogspam, lists, memes, job postings, or critiques!" and Rule 4 says, "We do not allow any commercial promotion or solicitation." Rule 3 also says, "No self-promotion" and refers you to reddiquette and the Reddit 9:1 rule.

No. Rule 4 explicitly says, "Promoting your product, service, tool, or anything for sale is not allowed" and adds "No marketing or self-promotion," including tools, articles, books, newsletters, videos, podcasts, training, events, and mentorship. Related outreach is also restricted by Rule 6 on user recruitment and Rule 7 on inviting members to groups, events, or one-on-one meetings.

No, you cannot promote your product in r/UI_Design. The rules explicitly say, "don't self-promote" and "No freelance, business, agency, OR self-promotion," and the submit page adds, "No URLS or self promotion of any kind," while Structured Rule 2 says, "Posts or articles that serve primarily as self-promotion are not permitted."
