This is the main subreddit for Uruguay. The public description says it covers news, humor, sports, and politics for the country. The rules make clear that everything posted here must be related to Uruguay or impact Uruguayan citizens in some way. There is room for offtopic discussion, but only inside the AskUruguay flair, and only when the topic makes sense in a Uruguayan social and cultural context. The community is general purpose and wide ranging, but it is firmly anchored to the country and its people.
The rule that matters most for a founder is "Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay". It is the only rule that explicitly addresses original content and promotion. It says you can post original content from Uruguayans or about Uruguay under the Hecho en UY flair, but only if the sole purpose is not to generate visits or attract customers. The rule also allows offtopic content inside the AskUruguay flair, as long as the discussion in a Uruguayan social and cultural context is positive for the community. "Regla 3 - No está permitida la editorialización de títulos" matters if you ever share news. You must copy the exact headline and use the news flair, or write a self text post with your opinion in the body and use the "Opinión editorial" flair. "Regla 1 - Política de contenido de Reddit y reddiquette" sets the baseline: participate in good faith with a real interest in the community.
A founder doing respectful Reddit marketing here has one clear path: the Hecho en UY flair. The rules allow original content from Uruguayans or about Uruguay under that flair, as long as the content is not solely about generating visits or attracting customers. That means your post needs to stand on its own as interesting or useful to the community, with any business connection being secondary. If you are sharing news, copy the exact headline and use the news flair. If you are sharing an opinion tied to a news source, write a self text post, include the link in the body, develop your reasoning, and use the "Opinión editorial" flair. If you want to ask the community something that is not strictly about Uruguay, use the AskUruguay flair and frame it in a way that makes sense for Uruguayan readers.
Avoid posting anything with no connection to Uruguay. Avoid editorialising news headlines, because the rules require exact copies with the news flair. Avoid putting your opinion in a title without developing it in the body of a self text post. Avoid using the Hecho en UY flair when your only goal is traffic or customers. Avoid posting meta complaints or suggestions on the main feed, because the rules send those to modmail. Avoid hate speech, personal attacks, and harassment, which the rules explicitly prohibit.

Yes, but only under the Hecho en UY flair, and only if your content is genuinely original and related to Uruguay. The rule says your sole reason cannot be to generate visits or attract customers, so your post needs to offer real value to the community first.
You must copy the headline exactly as written and use the news flair. If you want to add your own opinion, create a self text post with the link included in the body and use the flair "Opinión editorial".
Yes, but only within the AskUruguay flair, and only if the discussion framed in a Uruguayan social and cultural context would be positive for the community.
No. Rule 4 requires that doubts, complaints, or suggestions go to modmail, not the main feed.
