How to show up here without getting banned
- Don't post about your product. Answer questions in the comments with real expertise instead. People who find your answers useful check your profile, so say what you do there.
- Make each post count. r/projectmanagement is quiet (about 4.8 new posts a day), so a post stays near the top for days and regulars notice who shows up.
- Read the sidebar and pinned posts. Moderators often add rules there, and rules change. Check r/projectmanagement's before your first post.
- Build a history first. Comment helpfully on r/projectmanagement for a few weeks before you post. Accounts that only ever promote get filtered.
