Can you promote your product in r/StableDiffusion?

Yes, but only under clear limits. The sidebar rule "Limited self-promotion" says, "Open-source, free, or local tools can be promoted at any time (once per tool/guide/update)," while "Paid services or paywalled content can only be shared during our monthly event." The structured Rule 6 also says, "Don't post just to promote yourself or drive traffic to paid tools, services, or downloads," and bans paywalls, affiliate links, hidden URLs, and requires tutorials and tools to be free and directly accessible.

Whatever the written rules say, the pattern that gets promo removed everywhere is the same: batches of similar comments, reused wording, and necro-posting on old threads. A promotional mention only has value if it survives, so pace matters more than volume. We measured this the expensive way: 70% of bought pool comments were removed within two weeks.
