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."

The rules that cover promotion

Quoted from the subreddit's own rules, snapshot from July 2026. Read all 6 rules on Reddit

What gets removed

Self-promotional posts, URLs, and promotion of your business, agency, software, app, social media, portfolio, or tools
Posts or articles that serve primarily as self-promotion
Off-topic and lazy link posts, including external resources, YT videos, Medium blogs, and similar content posts
Using multiple accounts to bypass the rules, this will get you banned

Safer ways to show up

Share your UI work for feedback, with project overview, tools used, intended audience, and the kind of feedback you want
Keep self-promotion out of images, titles, and comments when requesting feedback
Give constructive, UI-focused feedback to other people’s work
Use the wiki or pinned monthly megathread for getting started, portfolios, jobs, careers, courses, and studying topics

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.
