Can you promote in r/notion?

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

r/notion is a pragmatic, help-focused community that heavily penalizes self-promotion outside designated threads, but rewards authentic troubleshooting, feature discussion, and thoughtful use-case sharing. The community is engaged with Notion's limitations and actively advocates for improvements, with mods maintaining discipline around promotional content through structured feedback/showcase megathreads. Discussions lean technical and practical rather than aesthetic.

• DO ask technical questions with clear problem descriptions and platform details
• DO share genuine setups/templates in dedicated self-promo threads or as case studies
• DO provide feedback on Notion features using the pinned Product Feedback thread
• DO help others troubleshoot—the community rewards practical solutions
• DON'T post self-promotion or template links outside the fortnightly pinned threads
• DON'T share low-effort setup screenshots without context or learnings
• DON'T spam feature requests—use the official feedback thread instead
• DON'T ignore platform/app version details when asking for help
