Can you promote in r/digitalnomad?

Strict: this community removes promotional content on sight. Contribute value only; pitching here risks removal and a subreddit ban.

r/digitalnomad is a resource-hungry, logistics-focused community where members swap practical intel on visas, housing, healthcare, and connectivity across countries. The culture rewards specificity, local experience, and problem-solving; it punishes sales pitches and low-effort lifestyle fluff. Mods enforce wiki compliance and megathread use to reduce FAQ noise.

• DO ask specific, actionable location/visa/logistics questions
• DO share trip reports with concrete details and lessons learned
• DO post PSAs about visa changes, carrier updates, or cost shifts
• DO reference the wiki or check if your question is FAQ before posting
• DON'T promote services, products, or properties directly—this reads as spam
• DON'T post generic lifestyle inspiration without practical value
• DON'T ask 'best country?' without constraints—provide dates, budget, visa status
• DON'T ignore the megathread; casual chat and low-effort questions belong there
