Can I promote my product here?
The rules do not say anything about promotion either way, but every post must be related to the University of Kentucky, so a promotion with no UK connection will not survive.

Rule summary
- Be Respectful: Be Respectful
- Stay on Topic: All post should be related to the University of Kentucky.
- Must wait 7 days between duplicate posts.: Duplicate posts are not allowed. You must wait 7 days when reposting.
Works well
- A question about campus life or classes that ties your topic directly to the University of Kentucky
- A short writeup about something happening at UK, like an event or a change on campus, that invites discussion
- A genuine ask for opinions from UK students or alumni about a problem you are trying to solve for that group
- A helpful answer inside someone else's thread about classes, housing, or events at UK
- A post about UK sports or campus news that gives your take and asks others theirs
Avoid
- Posting anything that has no connection to the University of Kentucky
- Reposting the same content within seven days
- Being rude or dismissive in comments or posts
- Dropping a generic product pitch that could apply to any school
- Reposting your own thread quickly after it gets little attention
What r/UniversityofKentucky Is For
This is a community for people connected to the University of Kentucky. The description says it plainly, it is a place to come and see blue, and to discuss topics relating to the university, including sports, classes, places to live, and events. If it is about UK, it is relevant. The people posting here are students, fans, and people with a stake in campus life, so the room runs on school spirit and practical campus questions. Anything outside that orbit does not belong, no matter how good your intentions are.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
Three rules decide whether a post survives here. “Be Respectful” means keep your tone polite, because the moderators say they remove posts that are disrespectful. “Stay on Topic” is the big one for anyone with something to promote, because every post must be related to the University of Kentucky, and the moderators confirm they remove posts unrelated to UK. “Must wait 7 days between duplicate posts.” means you cannot repost the same thing within a week, so if your first attempt gets removed or ignored, waiting seven days is the rule, not an option. The policy brief leaves promotion, links, and AI content unlisted, so there is no published stance on those, which makes the on topic rule your main guardrail.
What To Post
A good post here is about the University of Kentucky, full stop. If you are a founder or marketer, the honest path is to join conversations that already exist about UK life, classes, housing, events, or sports, and only start your own thread when you have something UK specific to say or ask. If your product or question only makes sense for UK students or alumni, frame it as a real question for them, not as an announcement. If your product has nothing to do with UK, this is probably not your community, and posting anyway is how you get removed.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything disrespectful, because the first rule covers it and the moderators say they remove such posts. Avoid anything not related to the University of Kentucky, because that is the fastest way to get removed here. Avoid reposting something within seven days, because the duplicate rule is explicit and the moderators enforce it. And avoid treating this like a general audience for your product, because a post that is really about you and only loosely about UK fails the on topic rule.
