Can I post a link to my Christian blog or product here?
Yes, but only conditionally. The "Blog Policy" and "Advertising Policy" allow blog, advertising, and charity posts if you actively participate in other discussions first.

Works well
- A text post asking a genuine question about how churches use technology to connect with congregations, written to start a discussion, not to sell a product.
- A comment in a thread about Christian living where you share a relevant experience and only mention your product if someone asks or if it directly helps the person you are replying to.
- A blog post link shared only after you have spent time commenting in other threads, with a title that reflects the content and a text body that summarizes the key points for readers who do not click through.
- A post about a charity or fundraiser connected to your work, shared only if you meet the participation requirements and the content is relevant to Christian life or community.
Avoid
- Do not post links to your own blog or videos unless you already take part in other discussions, because the "Blog Policy" and "Image/Video Policy" treat drive-by links as spam.
- Do not use a support thread to push a debate or argument, since "Support threads" are protected from that kind of disruption.
- Do not question or imply that another user is not a real Christian, as the personal attacks rule explicitly forbids it.
- Do not belittle Christianity or proselytize, because "Belittling Christianity" and "Proselytism" are separate removal reasons.
- Do not post AI-generated content, since the "AI Policy" discourages it and low-effort AI posts can be removed under "Low-Effort".
- Do not crosspost in a way that subverts the community, as "Crossposting" is listed under subversion.
What r/Christianity Is For
This community is for discussing Christianity and aspects of Christian life, and the description says all are welcome to participate. That means you do not have to be Christian to post, but the rules make clear that the space is built around respectful discussion of the faith. The rules cover harassment, bigotry, personal attacks, belittling Christianity, proselytism, support threads, subversion, spam, images and video, topicality, low effort, and COVID. The breadth of those rules tells you this is a large, active community where moderation is taken seriously and many kinds of disruption have come up before.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for marketing-adjacent posts are the ones grouped under spam and subversion. The "Blog Policy" says blog posts and videos are allowed only if you actively participate in other threads, which means a founder who drops a link and leaves will not last. The "Advertising Policy" and "Charity Policy" follow the same logic, conditional on participation. The "Image/Video Policy" adds another layer, since visual content is subject to its own restrictions. The "Repetitious Posts" rule means you should not post the same thing over and over. The "AI Policy" discourages AI-generated content, which matters if your product or content uses AI. Beyond spam, the "Support threads" rule is critical because it protects people seeking help from being dragged into debates or marketed to. The personal attacks rule also matters because it explicitly says not to state, imply, or intimate that a user who professes to be Christian is not actually a Christian.
What To Post
A good post here for a founder is one that starts with genuine participation, not a link. If you have a blog or video that is relevant to Christianity or Christian life, you can share it, but only after you have been active in other discussions. The best approach is to write a text post that asks a real question, shares a relevant experience, or contributes to an ongoing conversation about faith or Christian living. If your product or service touches on something like church management, Christian education, or community building, frame it as a discussion topic first, not a pitch. The community values respectful, on-topic conversation, so your post should add to that rather than extract from it.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything that belittles Christianity or pushes proselytism, since those are separate rules. Do not post AI-generated content, because the "AI Policy" discourages it and low-effort AI posts can be removed. Do not crosspost in a way that subverts the community, as "Crossposting" is listed under subversion. Avoid off-topic posts or diverting from the topic at hand. Do not make low-effort posts, which the "Low-Effort" rule covers. Stay away from COVID misinformation, which has its own policy. Most of all, avoid treating this community like a billboard, because the spam rules are conditional on participation and the moderators have seen every kind of self-promotion before.

Common questions about r/Christianity
Can I post AI-generated content or prayers?
No. The "AI Policy" discourages AI content, and AI posts may also be removed under the "Low-Effort" rule.
Can I debate whether someone is a real Christian?
No. The rules say not to state, imply, or intimate that a user who professes to be a Christian is not actually a Christian.
Can I jump into a support thread to offer advice or debate?
No. The "Support threads" rule says not to mess with them, so do not use them to start debates or arguments.
Can I post about my Christian charity or fundraiser?
Yes, if you are actively participating in other discussions and the content is relevant to Christianity or Christian life, but it is still subject to the spam and topicality rules.
