Can you promote on r/compsci?

No rule mentions promotion None of its rules mentions self-promotion. That is not permission: read every rule, say plainly that it's yours, and make the post useful on its own.

Computer Science Theory and Application. We share and discuss any content that computer scientists find interesting. People from all walks of life welcome, including hackers, hobbyists, professionals, and academics.

All 5 rules of r/compsci
  1. Be on-topic
    This subreddit is dedicated to the discussion of Computer Science theory and application. Here, we discuss CS research, as well as theory behind software engineering and programming (e.g. language design). This is not a general purpose programming forum. Consider posting topics not related to Computer Science to r/programming.
  2. No career, major, or study advice
    This subreddit is dedicated to the discussion of Computer Science theory and application, not the career focused aspects of CS. Posts about careers in CS belong in r/cscareerquestions. Posts about studying CS in university belong in r/csMajors.
  3. No homework or introductory questions
    Even though we like to help you out, this is not the place for homework questions. There are ethical considerations such as how much help to give and what is the right kind of help. Additionally, even introductory questions may not be suitable for this subreddit. Consider instead posting about a generalized problem that can result in a broader discussion, rather than asking people to solve your problem. Check out r/csMajors, r/programming, and r/learnprogramming for additional resources.
  4. No tech/programming support
    These kind of questions belong on r/techsupport, r/learnprogramming, r/programminghelp, r/CodingHelp or StackOverflow. If you want to learn programming, need help with a particular language or have some computer issue, go to those subreddits or to one directly involved with the topic.
  5. No purchase advice
    Posts about consumer hardware are not allowed. Consider r/SuggestALaptop, r/PickAnAndroidForMe, or r/buildapc.
