Can I link to my own product or company?
The published rules do not mention it, so nothing bans it outright, but I would lead with genuine discussion and only reference your work where it truly helps.

Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Follow Reddit TOS: As the title says, if a post or comment violates Reddit TOS, report it.
- Don’t be unnecessary: Project management is a passionate endeavor, but we don’t need to flame each other, call names, or otherwise act in ways that would make someone ask- is that necessary?
- The usual don’t be racist, etc: Let’s skip being racist, bigoted, xenophobic, sexist, etc.
Works well
- A lessons learned post about a real project you ran, written as a story with takeaways other managers can use
- A genuine question about a people problem, like managing a difficult stakeholder or a team that keeps missing deadlines
- A calm, well argued perspective added to an active debate about a project management practice
- A practical breakdown of how you plan or track projects, shared to invite comparison rather than to sell a tool
- A short career or process question that a junior or mid level project manager would actually wonder about
Avoid
- Name calling or flaming someone in a debate, which trips “Don’t be unnecessary”
- Racist, bigoted, xenophobic, or sexist remarks or jokes, banned outright by “The usual don’t be racist, etc”
- Any post or comment that breaks Reddit terms of service, removed under “Follow Reddit TOS”
- A hard sell post with no discussion value, risky here because the promotion policy is unknown
- Getting heated in a disagreement instead of keeping it professional, since the survival guidance is to keep debates professional
- Assuming links or promotional content are fine just because no rule mentions them
What r/projectmanagers Is For
This is a community for discussing projects, project management, and managing teams and people. The description keeps the door open wide, so the people here are project managers of all kinds, plus anyone who runs projects or leads people and wants to talk about the work. Think of it as a room for the craft of getting projects done, from planning and delivery to the human side of managing a team. There is nothing in the rules about who can join, so expect a mix of experience levels.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules are published here, and they are all about conduct. “Follow Reddit TOS” removes anything that breaks Reddit site wide terms of service. “Don’t be unnecessary” is the one a marketing adjacent post is most likely to trip, because it asks whether your behavior was necessary, and it rules out flaming, name calling, and any conduct that would make someone ask that question. “The usual don’t be racist, etc” bans racist, bigoted, xenophobic, and sexist language. The published rules say nothing about promotion, links, or AI content, so I cannot tell you where this community stands on those, and I will not guess.
What To Post
For a founder, the safest shape here is a post that reads like a project manager talking to other project managers. Share a real lesson from a project you ran, ask a genuine question about handling a team or a stakeholder, or add a useful perspective to a discussion that is already happening. Keep the tone professional and calm, because the survival guidance here is to keep debates professional and avoid personal attacks. Since the rules say nothing about promotion or links, treat any mention of your own product as something to earn through the quality of the discussion, not something to lead with.
What To Avoid
The fastest ways to lose a post or an account here are the three things the rules name. Do not break Reddit terms of service. Do not flame people, call names, or act in a way that makes a reader ask whether it was necessary, because that covers aggressive replies, snarky comebacks, and heated debates that turn personal. Do not use racist, bigoted, xenophobic, or sexist language of any kind. Beyond that, the rules are silent on promotion and links, so I cannot tell you that a salesy post will be removed, only that unprofessional behavior definitely will be.

Common questions about r/projectmanagers
Is AI written content banned here?
Nothing in the rules bans AI content, so it is allowed until proven otherwise, but keep it professional and on topic about projects, teams, and management.
Can I share a lesson learned from running my own projects?
The rules are broad civility rules, not topic rules, so a useful project management lesson that happens to come from your work fits the description of the community.
What about posts about managing people rather than projects?
Yes, the community description explicitly covers managing teams and people, so that is one of the safest topics you can pick.
What actually gets a post removed?
According to the moderator note, posts get removed for breaking Reddit terms of service, personal attacks, or hateful and bigoted language.
