This is the national subreddit for Honduras, and the description welcomes people to the heart of Central America, a country with warm people, beaches, jungles, mountains, and ruins. The community is bilingual in spirit, since the description is written in Spanish first and then repeated in English with an invitation to come say hi. The people here are Hondurans, people with family or roots in Honduras, travelers, and anyone with a genuine question or story connected to the country. The rules make the scope clear, content has to be relevant to Honduras or its inhabitants, so this is a place for country-specific conversation, not a general audience for whatever you are building.
The gatekeeper rule is “Relevante a Honduras”, which says anything not tied to Honduras or Hondurans is treated as spam and removed. “Titulo descriptivo” requires every post to have a clear title that explains the post without needing to open the comments, and emojis or unreadable characters do not count as a title. “Publicidad, autopromoción, donaciones, proselitismo y encuestas” is the big one for marketers, because any advertising, self-promotion, surveys, or questionnaires posted without moderator approval gets removed, and it also bans religious and political proselytizing, donations, and sales. “Spam, contenido de bajo esfuerzo y calidad” bans spam and low effort content, which is where most drive-by link drops die. “Respeto hacia otros usuarios” asks you to attack arguments and never people, and “Discriminación” bans discrimination based on nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. Finally, “Discreción de Moderadores” gives the moderators the final say on removing anything they judge harmful to the community.
For a founder, the honest path here is to participate as a person first and a marketer second, if at all. A good post is directly about Honduras or Hondurans, like a genuine question about life, travel, food, language, or business culture in the country, written with a descriptive title that stands on its own. If your product genuinely serves Hondurans and you want to mention it, the rules leave exactly one door open, which is getting moderator approval before you post, so message the moderators first and follow whatever they say. If you are doing market research, remember that surveys and questionnaires also need approval, so ask before you ask. Keep any post you make high effort, in good faith, and respectful, because low effort content and disrespect are both grounds for removal.
The fastest way to get removed is posting any promotion without moderator approval, because “Publicidad, autopromoción, donaciones, proselitismo y encuestas” removes advertising and self-promotion that was not approved first. Anything not connected to Honduras or Hondurans is treated as spam under “Relevante a Honduras”, so a generic post about your startup has no chance. A lazy or emoji-filled title fails “Titulo descriptivo”, and a bare link with no effort fails “Spam, contenido de bajo esfuerzo y calidad”. Do not ask for donations, do not try to sell anything, and do not post surveys or questionnaires, all of which are banned by the same promotion rule. Do not use the sub to look for dates, since “Búsqueda de pareja o encuentros sexuales.” forbids that, and never share anyone's personal information, because “Doxeo, políticas de privacidad” protects privacy. Asking for or offering help with anything illegal under “Contenido Ilegal” can get you a permanent ban, which is the harshest penalty stated in the rules.

No. The rule “Publicidad, autopromoción, donaciones, proselitismo y encuestas” says any advertising or self-promotion without moderator approval gets removed, so you need to ask first.
The rules do not ban links by themselves, but the rule “Spam, contenido de bajo esfuerzo y calidad” bans spam and low effort content, so a bare link with no context will not survive.
No. “Publicidad, autopromoción, donaciones, proselitismo y encuestas” explicitly prohibits surveys and questionnaires, and the policy brief confirms they need approval.
No. “Publicidad, autopromoción, donaciones, proselitismo y encuestas” prohibits donations outright.
The rules do not mention AI content either way, so the safest read is that normal rules apply, meaning it must be relevant to Honduras, clearly titled, and not spam.
