Can I post about my product here at all?

Rule summary
- Regla 1 - Política de contenido de Reddit y reddiquette: r/Uruguay adhiere a la política de contenido de Reddit y la reddiqueta. El discurso discriminatorio y de odio, ataques personales y otras formas de acoso no están permitidos. Participá en la comunidad de buena fe y con un interés real.
- Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay: El contenido en r/Uruguay debe estar relacionado a Uruguay, o impactar en los ciudadanos Uruguayos de alguna manera. Dentro del flair AskUruguay se permite contenido offtopic, siempre que se considere la discusión del tema en el marco social y cultural uruguayo sea positiva para la comunidad. Dentro del flair Hecho en UY se permitirá contenido original de uruguayos o relativo a Uruguay, siempre que su única razón no sea la de generar visitas o atraer clientes.
- Regla 3 - No está permitida la editorialización de títulos: Los post de noticias deben copiar el titular exacto y emplear el flair reservado para noticias. Para expresar opiniones propias o de un tercero debe hacerse un self text con la opinión y poner el link incluído en el texto. En este caso debe usarse el flair “Opinión editorial”. No se aceptará que la opinión esté solamente en el título, y tanto la idea y el por qué debe estar desarrollado; en caso de que incluya una cita parcial o total a una noticia el post debe incluir links a las fuentes.
- Regla 4 - Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben enviarse por Mod Mail: La idea del sub no es la de discutir constantemente sobre sí mismo. Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben de ir dirigidas al modmail, que es la herramienta que brinda Reddit para estos casos.
Works well
- An AskUruguay question about how Uruguayans experience a problem your product touches, framed around the local social and cultural context
- Original work in the Hecho en UY flair, like a free tool, dataset, or project with a clear Uruguay connection and no sales pitch
- A news article shared with the exact original headline and the news flair, with no added opinion in the title
- A self text post with the “Opinión editorial” flair where your opinion is fully developed and the news link sits inside the text with sources
- A genuine question about living in, working in, or visiting Uruguay that a local can answer better than a search engine
Avoid
- Posting anything with no connection to Uruguay or Uruguayan citizens, which breaks “Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay”
- Dropping a link with a salesy headline, because the Hecho en UY flair only protects content whose sole purpose is not generating visits or attracting customers
- Changing or spicing up a news headline, which breaks “Regla 3 - No está permitida la editorialización de títulos”
- Posting your opinion only in the title of a news link instead of writing a self post with the opinion developed and the link inside the text
- Quoting a news article in an opinion post without including links to the sources
- Complaining about the subreddit or asking moderation questions in public posts instead of mod mail, which breaks “Regla 4 - Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben enviarse por Mod Mail”
What r/uruguay Is For
This is the national subreddit for Uruguay, described as the subreddit of the beautiful República Oriental del Uruguay. It covers news, humor, sports, and politics, so it works like a town square for the whole country. The people posting here are Uruguayans, people living in Uruguay, and people with a real reason to care about the country. The rules say content must relate to Uruguay or impact Uruguayan citizens in some way. There is an AskUruguay flair where offtopic questions are allowed, as long as discussing the topic through the Uruguayan social and cultural lens is positive for the community. There is also a Hecho en UY flair for original content made by Uruguayans or related to Uruguay.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides everything here is “Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay”. If your post has no connection to Uruguay or to Uruguayan citizens, it does not survive. If you are sharing original work, “Regla 2 - El contenido debe estar relacionado a Uruguay” also contains the promotion clause, because the Hecho en UY flair allows original content from Uruguayans or about Uruguay as long as its only purpose is not to generate visits or attract customers. If you share news, “Regla 3 - No está permitida la editorialización de títulos” applies, and it demands the exact headline, the news flair, and links to sources when your opinion post quotes an article. Finally, “Regla 4 - Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben enviarse por Mod Mail” means you never argue about the subreddit itself in public posts. And “Regla 1 - Política de contenido de Reddit y reddiquette” asks you to participate in good faith, with no discrimination, personal attacks, or harassment.
What To Post
A good post here is genuinely about Uruguay first. If you are a founder, the honest path is the Hecho en UY flair, and the rule is clear about what qualifies. Your content must be original, made by a Uruguayan or about Uruguay, and its only reason for existing cannot be driving traffic or winning customers. So build something useful for Uruguayans, or share something you made that has a real connection to the country, and talk about it like a person, not a landing page. Asking questions through the AskUruguay flair works well too, as long as you frame them around the Uruguayan social and cultural context and they add something positive to the community. If you share news, copy the exact headline and use the news flair, no exceptions. If you want to give an opinion on a news story, write a self text post, develop the idea and the why, put the link in the text, and use the “Opinión editorial” flair.
What To Avoid
The fastest way to get removed is posting something with no link to Uruguay or Uruguayan citizens. The second fastest is dropping a link with a catchy title you wrote yourself, because news posts must copy the exact headline and use the news flair. If you want to share an opinion about a news story, do not put it in the title, write a self text post with the opinion fully developed and the link inside the text, and use the “Opinión editorial” flair. If you quote a news article, include links to the sources. Never post complaints, questions, or suggestions about the subreddit itself, because those go to mod mail only. And do not post anything discriminatory, harassing, or personally attacking anyone, because that breaks the Reddit content policy and reddiquette rule the community follows.

Common questions about r/uruguay
Is self promotion ever allowed?
Yes, under the Hecho en UY flair, but only if its sole reason is not generating visits or attracting customers, so it has to be genuine original work with real community value.
Can I ask a question that is not strictly about Uruguay?
Yes, the AskUruguay flair allows offtopic content when discussing it through the Uruguayan social and cultural lens is positive for the community.
Can I share a news article with my own take in the title?
No, copy the exact headline and use the news flair, and put any opinion in a separate self text post with the “Opinión editorial” flair.
Where do I ask why my post was removed?
No, “Regla 4 - Dudas, quejas o sugerencias deben enviarse por Mod Mail” sends all of those to mod mail instead.
