Can you promote on r/duolingo?

Self-promotion restricted Its rules restrict self-promotion. Posts that promote your own work are likely to be removed.

Welcome to r/Duolingo: An unofficial community for Duolingo learners. This sub is run by volunteer moderators. Duolingo employees are frequently present to participate in a community capacity and may offer general, non-technical guidance; they play no part in moderation decisions except for stickying announcements. This is not a Customer Support channel. To resolve issues, please contact Duolingo Support: www.duolingo.com/help/support-request

What its rules say about promotion

Use the correct flair
Please use the appropriate flair for your posts. Your 4000-day streak should go in "achievement showcase", not "Duolingo in the media". Please also use the "language question" flair, not the "bug report" flair, if you are posting about being marked incorrect, being told you made a typo, etc.
No selling subscriptions, accounts, Family Plan spots, etc
Due to scammers taking advantage of this subreddit, we cannot allow people to offer (or ask for) Duolingo subscriptions or Family Plan spots in exchange for money, services, or any other kind of payment. Posts offering free Family Plan spots are still allowed. Posts offering entire accounts are not allowed even if they are being offered for free.
No promotion of APKs/cracked copies, etc
We try to maintain good relations with Duolingo staff, and that means we can't allow people to promote, link to, or instruct others on how to install third-party APKs ("cracks"), etc, of any Duolingo apps.
Other resources and self-promotion
We do allow discussion of supplemental language resources here. We do not allow promotion of your own product (including social media channels). For example: you CAN discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Michael Thomas Method here; the (rival app) marketing team CAN'T spam the sub with "DOESN'T DUOLINGO SUCK? BUY OUR APP INSTEAD".
All 13 rules of r/duolingo
  1. Be Kind and Respectful
    We are all about inclusivity. Bullying, xenophobia, queerphobia, and general nastiness aren't welcome here. Treat each other, and every language, culture, and identity, with kindness and respect 🌈
  2. Use the correct flair
    Please use the appropriate flair for your posts. Your 4000-day streak should go in "achievement showcase", not "Duolingo in the media". Please also use the "language question" flair, not the "bug report" flair, if you are posting about being marked incorrect, being told you made a typo, etc.
  3. Bug posts
    **We cannot offer tech support here**. We currently allow posts about bugs and other issues for the purpose of spreading information only; https://www.duolingo.com/help/support-request should be your first resort for getting help. As such, we may remove threads about known bugs that are already being discussed in other threads. Do not use bug flair for language questions, including "I should have been marked correct."
  4. No Low Effort/Repetitive Content
    Your post should add to the discussion! Simply a screenshot of a streak, XP Boost, or badge will be removed - it clogs up the subreddit! This rule also applies to memes - captioning a screenshot "WTF bro" is not a meme. (And yes, we know about lion tamer Eddy and the eight-year-old doctor).
  5. Encourage Accuracy and Honesty
    Share accurate information, even in rants or venting posts. If you’ve found good strategies and tips on Duolingo, ensure they’re truthful and honest before sharing in the community. Venting is okay, but keep the facts straight.
  6. No NSFW Content—Keep It Clean and Safe
    This community is for learners of all ages. NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content is strictly prohibited. Keep your contributions appropriate, respectful, and suitable for everyone. Swearing is okay, as long as it is not directed at other users.
  7. No Personal Information
    For your own safety, please do not include personal information. This includes but is not limited to: your real name, email, phone number, or address. Doxxing someone else is grounds for an immediate ban, no exceptions. If you believe someone is violating Duolingo rules, report their profile in the app. If you believe they are violating subreddit rules, report them or send us a modmail.
  8. Use the relevant pinned mega threads
    Please use the pinned weekly threads friend/follower requests, and other specific topics.
  9. Relevancy
    Posts should be related to Duolingo or language learning. This is not the place to share your epic Roblox meme collection or your thoughts on Taylor Swift's collaboration with Till Lindemann.
  10. No selling subscriptions, accounts, Family Plan spots, etc
    Due to scammers taking advantage of this subreddit, we cannot allow people to offer (or ask for) Duolingo subscriptions or Family Plan spots in exchange for money, services, or any other kind of payment. Posts offering free Family Plan spots are still allowed. Posts offering entire accounts are not allowed even if they are being offered for free.
  11. No promotion of APKs/cracked copies, etc
    We try to maintain good relations with Duolingo staff, and that means we can't allow people to promote, link to, or instruct others on how to install third-party APKs ("cracks"), etc, of any Duolingo apps.
  12. Descriptive titles
    Your title should give us an idea of what you want to talk about! We reserve the right to remove threads with one-word titles and ask you to repost.
  13. Other resources and self-promotion
    We do allow discussion of supplemental language resources here. We do not allow promotion of your own product (including social media channels). For example: you CAN discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the Michael Thomas Method here; the (rival app) marketing team CAN'T spam the sub with "DOESN'T DUOLINGO SUCK? BUY OUR APP INSTEAD".
